Steemit Defense League Delegation Removal #2

Github Merged Pull Request:

https://github.com/steemit/redeemer-irredeemables/pull/20

Pull Request Goal

Remove seventy-nine (79) Steemit Defense League accounts that abuse the Steemit Inc faucet delegation to mass flag Steem users. This will reduce their effective 15 Steem Power accounts to 0.1 Steem Power. This will not only eliminate their voting weight it will also drastically reduce their bandwidth on the network. Future accounts will be added as they come up.

What is the Steemit Defense League?

Steemit Defense League is the creation of spammer @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 @anthonyadavisii, @guiltyparties, and @berniesanders to counter the meaningless but annoying flags by @camillesteemer.

Recently @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.

Steemit Defense League 1.0

I previously got the delegation removed to the original Steemit Defense League when they were around 15 accounts. They have since grown to around 80 accounts and more every day as they get approved through the Steemit Sign up process.

Future

While I am constantly working on spam and abuse issues, this is an on-going problem and will not be solved with this pull request. This will eliminate around 65 more accounts added to their pool, they will get more and will continue harassing users. I am always available on Discord via the #abuse channel.

Thanks

I want to thank @guiltyparties for helping pull together an updated list and dealing with a lot of the triage from users who have been abused by this troll. I want to thank @fulltimegeek, @anthonyadavisii, @berniesanders for countering flags.

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. I also suggest voting @guiltyparties as he also spends an enormous amount of time working with SteemCleaners to do the same.

This is my first Utopian post, so if I am missing anything, please let me know.
