Hello again Dear steemians, Today I saw another steem-crime and It makes me think about how can we defend ourselves and each, and our steem brothers and sisters in here.
If you go to the #Introduceyourself trending posts you'll see that in 1st place is this post from , minutes ago I was looking at the new introduceyoursef posts in order to find good content from new users, welcome then and offer some basic help when I end up finding this post from a new user named
.
as you can see it is the same post, same title even same tags, only diference between then is that the coped one's text is not as well formated as the original one:
the original:
the copy:
As you can see in my previos post I've experienced a similar situation about a week ago.
when It happened to me I was only able to notice that thanks to who message me warning about what she has seen.
So today I decided do the same, I just send a reply to post:
and also a small transfer with the same message as a memo:
when we have a look at blog's page we see that he is a brand new user but it appers to have copy several posts from others, as far as I know thins behavior should not be tolerated in our beloved community.
So this second experience with this kind of stuff make me think that we should build an mechanism to make it easier to punish this kind of behavior at the same time we spread this this to the whole Community, I mean only myself I could only notify the author about what happened, but since I do not have enough SP neither the author even if we both flag him, this will have almost no effect on it, and he could probable keep doing this kind of stuff until some whale finally find what he is doing and decided to smash his reputation removing this kind of user from our community.
So thinking about this realized that a simple creation of a Tag to expose criminal behavior like this could not only make this justice process faster but even motivate users to act like #steemit-police. The idea is anytime you see a crime or something that go strictly against the steemit rules like this you could make a post with links and images showing what you have seen with this tag, and users with more SP could at least once a day have a look at the #steemit-police too see if they could help punishing those who are acting against the community rules. this way we would have a decentralized justice where the whole community will be together fighting to make steemit a better place to everyone.
I think this should work couse:
1- Redfish and minnows (which is probably like 80% or evem more of steemit users) will be highly motivated to seek for people acting against the rules in order to make a post exposing them, couse they will should get some reward for his work from the whales who will judge it.
2- Whales are already earning a lot just for curation, so they surely want steemit to be a successful site forever, so helping useful users that expose bad behavior to grow in here by the time punishing bad users making steemit an even better place and more attractive to everyone which will surely makes our beloved community grow stronger and healthier.
3- Bad users will not last long in here, once they are massively downvoted and got a negative reputation, he will have no other option then abandon that account OR trying to make a new one but now following the rules
This way we should drastically reduce the amount of bad users in here by the time we create another mechanism to help redfishes and minnows to grow.
By the end of the day everybody win ^^/
please let me know what you think at this Idea, also if you have any suggestion of making it better, remember we are all together in this amazing spaceship called steemit, and together let's get where no other human was able to step on!
