The Steemit Defense League was created by the renowned author of indiscriminate and abusive messages sent "camillesteemer", also uses the "mybestnews" account. After being singled out for spam and plagiarism, he decided to create ghostly Steemit accounts to banish anyone who pointed him out. Over time, the flags began to point to anyone who supported those who pointed it out and, finally, to any Steemit account.
Although their flags do not make sense, because of the low vote value of the accounts from where they do it, they have managed to confuse, frustrate and discourage many Steemit users. The new user profiles controlled by "camillesteemer" for banderear, usually show images of very sexy girls. At least 108 accounts linked to the Steemit Defense League have been identified. Users with high reputation on the platform have been concerned with neutralizing them, further affecting their limited voting power. However, these accounts continue to cause discomfort in the Steemian community.
