Steemit abuse/spam by user @nasional

Dear Steemians,

Today, while I submitted an entry to a photography contest organized by Hive account@juliank, I noticed, almost immediately that I was left a nonsensical comment from user Hive account@nasional.

At the time the account appeared new, but it annoyed me to see such a blatant muscle in on curation rewards for gibberish, so I marked it with the first flag I have used since joining Steemit about ten days back.

Looking more closely at the account of Hive account@nasional this evening after I finished work, I noted it had grown from a new account with a user reputation of 25 to an account with 3600+ posts and a reputation of 36 in just a couple of hours.

It's resteeming all new articles with a meaningless garbled first comment added to each one at a rate of around five per minute, and has been doing so for half the day now.

See for yourselves:

I'm totally green to all this Steemit system, but this is just blatant bot abuse to harvest half the curation award for all of this spam, is it not?

I get that this is just a fragment of the iceberg; but please help me out here and downvote Hive account@nasional to oblivion!

Then I can carry on trying to blog my way up the ladder.

Peace

Hive account@mescal
