Pull Request Goal

To eliminate all current known Steemit Defense League (SDL) troll accounts. Currently, the SDL has 108 accounts abusing Steemit Inc delegation (~15 SP each) to maliciously flag users. As of now, all 108 accounts have had their delegation successfully removed making them 0.100 Steem Power accounts.

This reduces the bandwidth they have available to flag and dramatically reduces the flagging power. I try to assure users the size of the flags (1/10th of a cent) is so insignificant it doesn't even remove rewards. It still causes stress and frustration to new users who are not accustomized to being flagged.

What is the Steemit Defense League?

Steemit Defense League is the creation of spammer Hive account@camillesteemer who after being flagged for spam and plagiarism decided to create accounts abusing Steemit Inc sign up delegation to flag anyone who flagged him. Over time the flags started to target anyone who supported those who flagged him and eventually just randomly targeting anyone and everyone.

While the flags are meaningless at only 1/10th of a cent, they have confused, frustrated, and disheartened a lot of Steemians. There are a number of good projects by Hive account@anthonyadavisii, Hive account@guiltyparties, and Hive account@berniesanders to counter the meaningless but annoying flags by Hive account@camillesteemer.

Recently Hive account@camillesteemer started to target specific accounts with their username and branding to make users feel they were being flagged by them adding to the confusion. Latest attempts have used sexually suggestive user profiles to flag people.

Future

I will continue to research new Steemit Defense League accounts and submit them for removal on a regular basis.

Witness

If you want to see more of this sort of abuse removed from Steemit, please consider voting me as witness as I spend a large portion of my time-fighting spam, plagiarism, abuse, and fraud.
