Hi steemians, I make this simple proposal after reading the post "The Rise of Identity Thief" by
Some people create fake account to get lots of money. It is almost a game for them. So why not trying to reverse the rules of the game? The idea is to make the hunting of ID-thief rewarding. How would it work?
1) if you spot a fake introduceyourself post, simply make a post with the tag #identitythief and a link to the post
2) if you are a whale or a dolphin, and the post is clearly a thief, upvote the post of the person who has signaled the id thief and downvote the thief
The result is that the thieves will end up rewarding the good users :-)
NB: of course we have to double check if the person who signaled the thief is a legit person as well. This simple proposal may not be perfect, but this could leverage the power of the community.
