Thankfully there seems to be more downvoting happening and I am hoping by the end of the year abusers will be too scared to even try their silly games. Wish we had more downvotes though and is an incentive to power up and get stronger.
I would love to be a fly on the wall when the abuser comes back and finds this. I am sure there will be some choice words and a list of expletives.
I am finding myself looking and hunting out abuse more and more. It is time challenging, but also very rewarding. I find it quite satisfactory and relaxing removing rewards from someone who knows exactly what they are doing wrong. It is a game of cat and mouse and is easy to find with a little hunting. We are fortunate to have a certain in the sportstalk community and nothing gets past him.
Most of the people on Steem today are the serious hard case nuts who believe in Steem. You have to be as the price fell through it's backside and is one fiftieth of where it once was. I know a majority of the people on here wouldn't think of selling Steem at it's current price unless they really had to. This is rather unfortunate for the abusers as they are getting pulverized in certain tribes. Loads are still getting away with highway robberies, but they will have their day very soon.
An abuser doesn't care though as they just see this as a quick buck and send it straight to the exchanges. Unfortunately the tribes have allowed easy access to our Steem vault and are just diluting it out the back door. One user today sent just on 150 000 sports tokens to the market which on current value is 225 Steem. That won't be powered up, but going direct to an outside exchange for cash. As I have said I have no problem with this, but a shit poster and abuser I do. They don't deserve 1 Steem let alone hundreds.
I know in Sportstalk the community has stepped up their game and there are now 9 referees highlighting the bad actors which makes it a lot easier for everyone to downvote. I have been impressed with how the discord has been set up to highlight the abusive accounts and is very well organised. There is a good percentage of the accounts down voting now which is a sign of things to come as it gathers momentum. The tribes all need to do this if they are to be successful.
