RE: Case 11: Aliexpress and some voting-bots, making rewards without an effort!
Thank you for posting @sherlockholmes.
Steemians appreciate your attention to detail.
There is use of the system and then there is abuse of the system.
As @patrice has indicated there are multiple reasons people have multiple accounts and it is allowed........of course you will always have those who are not responsible with the freedom that have multiple accounts. The query is what determines when the practise of having multiple accounts is abuse....is it one more account....twenty more accounts.
Every organisation has policy, purpose and a chain of command.
Perhaps Steemit would be better served to stipulate what the best practice or policy is.......it seems hard to determine......especially when those who are large SP holders are working under their own policy and then others copy them.

Indeed! But probably the quantity isn't the critical factor, it's more about the usage of those accounts.
Being the decentralized community that it is, maybe we need to start coming up with our own policies and decentralized countermeasures in the community.
Is it?
If you are supposed to authenticate an account through a process, how would that be assumed to mean that multiple accounts are okay? Also, if people go through the trouble of Verifying who they are, it would point to that multiple accounts are definitely not approved by the community.
Steemit.com has that policy for sign-ups, but I'd argue this is solely related to the sign-up-bonus they are giving to new accounts.
Having multiple accounts cannot be prevented, as technically anyone with an existing account can create new ones by himself.
But, yes, almost all multi-account abusers have circumvented that steemit.com sign-up policy as well!
They are at it again. I just reported one photo for plagiarism and it got 11$ upvote
could you be more specific? are you referring to the stock-image posted by @rehanhashmat?
I keep checking these, too. I have sent a reminder to @minnowbooster, they have just finished implementing their blacklisting feature and have opened an abuse-reporting channel on their discord
Hey man where have you been. Steemit needs you investigative skills more now than ever.
I have left behind the illusion of felicity where my mind had taken refuge.
Indeed, I am making my way back to my study at Baker St. 221B, where I have however instructed my dear friend Watson to refuse receiving any more visitors.
I reported it for plagiarism. https://steemit.com/sports/@hamayun/baseball-is-so-much-loved-sports
He is the first account you mentioned. The second one is also doing the same.

The above post is basically saying, I am thinking about my meal and then he wrote the same thing in Hindi in English phonetic. Could you report both of these accounts to minnowbooster?
