Notice: Using @steem to create accounts to proxy vote will get you flagged!

But using premined Steem to create accounts to proxy vote will get patrice to work for you and let you get away with murder.

when you do even a quarter of the work that Patrice does for the good of this platform ... you get to mouth off. In the interim... you are totally clueless.

When I have as much delegated Steem for the same purpose that Patrice got, I will do more work than Patrice does.
I have enough clue when I see accounts under her control participating in circle jerks with other supposedly vigilante accounts and having a 100% voting quota, which means unused.

another clueless tool

BS

Look at her witness list and you will see a large number of folks neck-deep in the war against the biggest abusers of all...

Where do I find her witness list?
And I did not know that there are currently any persistent folks neck-deep in the war against the biggest abusers of all.

Great job!
Fight the small ones, ignore the big ones.
Nothing new.
Corporatism implemented on Steemit.
As long as you leave checkthisout/grumpycat alone, all is good.

What is the legal way to create a second account?

There are a few witnesses and other members of the community that sell accounts. They are pretty reasonable. If I have the spare SP to delegate I'll also create free accounts on occasion.

@anonsteem
@netuoso

Another option is to create them yourself if you have STEEM you want to transfer to the new account or you have SP you can delegate. I've been using the wallet by @jesta and have made several accounts with Vessel.

nice work 🎨 be merciless with these bad actors and there should be many ways to increase risk of proxy voting with some new steem penalties imposed if caught - maybe like crowd funding a punisher-bot or something like that?🐀

Whoever you are @patrice will find you. You better behave in steem community.

Well done job @patrice.

Wow really a greate work...nice idea to drain spams...@patrice

Wow, this is a really great work you are doing...
More strength to keep you up

Thank you for doing what you are doing! These tactics definitely need to be squashed in order to maintain a high-quality platform. Do you know if the developers are trying to implement some AI/ML to automate the flagging of accounts that are trying to game the platform?

I think they are more focused on SMTs and HF 21 right now. The good news is that HF 20 will hopefully stop this type of abuse. Each new account will have a minimal amount of bandwidth to perform transactions without delegating SP.

I'm reading up on HF 20 right now. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!

Nice info, hopefully we can make awareness that using steemit well is good for steemit community itself.

With every new account having the power to upvote 10 times a day for 0.01 SBD or $0.06 USD the number of proxy voting accounts has been on the rise.

Is it just me, or did we have ways to mitigate this in previous versions of Steem?

Ah...the consequences of Steemit Inc.’s hard forking ignorance and/or carelessness. Can’t wait for their new proposals to “improve” things!

I really hope someone takes the ideas we discussed in chat the other day seriously. The current account creation process is broken.

What do you mean @patrice? Newbie here, but would like to learn the reason why.

The current signup relies on verification by SMS text. There are services out there for social media sites that sell SMS Verification services and temporary telephone numbers for SMS verification.

The @dart group has created almost a 1000 accounts I can find this month.

These accounts are not going to users who want to be part of the community. Like the examples above they are just here to get some free money. Many of them do it with bots.

Well SLAY THEM! Take my 100% upvote which is a lot and go kill em xD
