THE TROLL AND I- Announcing the Glorious Formation of the TROLL BAN BRIGADE!

@pierce-the-veil: INTRODUCTION AND ANNOUNCEMENT OF A NEW STEEMIT ENTERPRISE!

Steemers now have an important decision to make. Do I stand by and do nothing about abuse on this site? Or do I take 5 minutes out of my day to flag known abusers.

I for one choose action. No MORE SHENANIGANS!

PERSONAL COMMITMENT TO STEEMERS:

I personally am dedicating two days a week tracking every single verified troll i can find for flagging. Why? Because they provide no value of any kind and 10 times out of 10 their posts contain threats, abuse, and harassment.

@pierce-the-veil has become inspired to lead the charge against abusive and harassing users on steemit.
I invite @ned @dan @dantheman @berniesanders @smooth to weigh in here with their suggestions.

@xvickx by inclusion is also invited to lend his suggestions or support regarding his established "Daily Downvote"
FIND THAT HERE: https://steemit.com/steemit/@xvickx/the-daily-downvote-we-need-your-help

To place this practice into effect, I have created a crafty solution, in addition to personal avenues (confidential agency sources) which I am utilizing as we speak.

RECITALS IN BRIEF: *Recent Exchange between @pierce-the-veil & @feminism

This troll appears to be severely butthurt, brigade members and steemers can expect numerous activity in my future blogs and comments sections due to his continued performance.

A. By his continued trolling, and based upon notice given by me and received by him, @feminism (or any successive accounts) has implicitly agreed to my contract terms.

B. In the mean time I will be proactively including this Troll Notice in every post hereafter, in order to bring maximum visibility during the pendency of my personal investigation. The more he comments in this or any other post, the more opportunities we received to responsibly curate, make money, and keep steemit on track with its original values.

Oh how easy it will be.

WANNA JOIN THE TROLL BAN BRIGADE? CAN YOU SWING A HAMMER?

Drop us a line in the comments with your thoughts and ideas, and expect that @feminism or some-such similar account will be vigorously posting ineffectual threats and acting super butt-hurt.
(Also, a variation steemtool like "Catch A Whale" could prove quite useful in this venture, any takers for the creation of a "Catch A Troll" steemtool?)

HAPPY HUNTING AND WELCOME TO THE BRIGADE!
