Once a cheater always a cheater with one or two exceptions and the same applies to abusers on the block chain. The 5 users in the firing line yesterday didn't heed to the warnings and downvotes and have continued on their merry way today again.
It is the same list as yesterday as I believe in taking them out properly. They need to receive no rewards from now on and we need to keep the pressure on. In the past some of us did this but to be honest we never kept the pressure on and these users just kept on growing. Everyone who added to the downvotes I can't thank you enough, but would like to see some others throwing their votes in as well. It can't be the same people all the time and as the saying goes "more hands make for light work".
Yesterday this group had nearly 400 000 Sports tokens heading towards their greedy pockets and they are already down by half. I am hoping within the next day or so it will only be the current daily posts we are having to deal with and not a weeks worth of rewards we are chasing.
@yohann Still has 40 000 Sports tokens in rewards that need to be removed to nil.
@joshcaare Still has 17 000 Sports tokens in rewards that need to be removed to nil.
@dianargenti Still has 65 000 Sports tokens in rewards that need to be removed to nil.
@veltor Still has 40 000 Sports tokens that need to be removed
@juvyjabian Still has 45 000 Sports tokens to be removed
Plus @bien Still has 12 000 sports tokens that need to be removed.
Delegation from @ghosthirdy to @bien 2 days ago. How generous of him.

For this I have no sympathy as there was no apologies or a change by doing a correct post. What we will see now is movement of delegation to new accounts and we must keep our eyes open to squish them early. I noticed @bien was missed and should have been the 6th member to be exterminated yesterday.
This account is an interesting one as it received delegation from @ghosthirdy a few days ago who if you can recall was nailed a few weeks ago by some of us for exactly the same crap this lot are producing. It looks as though it is one account as they all come out with posts within minutes of each other.
Reducing the rewards to nil on any abuser is good for the tribe as it means the real rewards can be used on decent content and VP isn't wasted playing silly buggers with these time wasters. I feel it is in everyone's interest to follow the downvotes of the referees and keep an eye out for @sportsinfo posts updating what is happening. The sooner we clean the tribe of abuse the better it will be for everyone. I have no problem upvoting decent content as long as it is original and your own work. Unfortunately that won't happen until this place has been swept clean.
I do understand people saying what about giving them a chance etc, but these users don't care and actually it could possibly be a handful of users that need eliminating. I have no sympathy and nuking them is the only answer. Being soft is not going to work as the one user was warned by @referee6 and they apologized yet the very next day did the same thing again.
I do not want this tribe to rot from the inside and we need to be crystal clear that abuse will not be tolerated one bit. there are many names of abusers being mentioned in discord and we need to finish one group at a time. Those others will be the next project.
