I am the SPAMINATOR!

It doesn't matter how you dress it up spam is spam. My goal is to root it out and remove the financial rewards of those spamming for profit. Since Hive account@pfunk, Hive account@patrice and others found accounts like Hive account@ecoworld posting comments and up-voting them with a large bot trail spammers have changed tactics. They have spread to create more spam across multiple accounts with smaller bot trails.

To do that I need help from the community. I need power! Steem Power! I would appreciate anyone willing to loan me some SP.

Here is what I intend to do:

1. Leave comments asking "real" users to please stop spamming and report them to Hive account@steemcleaners.
2. Find and flag comments on accounts that have more than $0.01 SBD payout that fit one of several patterns of abuse.
3. If asked by supporters I will show examples of patterns privately.
4. Inform donators of SP when the delegation is no longer needed.

What I will not do:

1. Flag single accounts not fitting an abuse pattern I have identified.
2. Discuss my method of finding patterns.

If removing the rewards stops the spam abuse then I intend for this account to remain dormant until it is needed again.

You can ask for Hive account@spaminator in #steemitabuse. While I don't expect I'll stay anonymous forever I'd appreciate anyone who figures out who I am or talks to the real "me" keeping my name under wraps for a bit.
