Lately my posts are spammed with senceless comments and I think this bad behaviour has the potential of killing the spirit or steemit over time. To be honest I have only flagged one person so far. It was in my steemit beginning times and I flagged a post that had the statement that prostitutes are better for men than normal women. This post you can see here. The user who posted this sexist bullshit flagged me back and I had the feeling at this point that it could be to dangerous to flag again because I did not want to risk my low reputation. Now my reputation has grown and I think it is now also in my responsability to start flagging the comments that are obviously not related to the posts they are supposed to comment on. I know new users often feel like they do not know what to comment so they just write "nice post!" I did this in the beginning too thats why already the headline tells you very clear that it is dangerous to comment bullshit on this post. I am really sick of all the bot comments that I am getting lately and I have started muting users but I feel that I have to go one step further. I see a lot of new users struggling to get votes and raise their reputation and it is hard enough for them. I have talked to ,
,
and other users various times about this problem. People who do not want to contribute to this community but only want to earn money by cheating should not have a higher reputation just by commenting nonsence to every post. I hope not to risk my own reputation with this new way I am dealing with scam here.
I love to support members who are really contributing something to the community. Especially in the field of art, creative, philosophical, travel and other writing and to everyone who is writing quality comments. To all the real steemit community members I send
