DO WE ALLOW SPAMMERS AND "VOTE FARMERS" TO RUIN BLURT, OR DO WE FOCUS ON THOSE PROVIDING QUALITY CONTENT?

Thank you for speaking up about spam, plagiarism, and farming. I'm part of a small but focused team that is working behind the scenes to black lists accounts that are abusing the platform. Currently we're adding maybe a dozen accounts to this list daily, slowly but surly farmers will understand that it's not worth their time. Also a fan of the mute button for those accounts I wish to never see again in my feed

Thank you for responding to my post. It is good to hear that more is being done with regards to these users. They make it so I am wondering about each person commenting and if they are legitimate. So I spend a lot of time check up on those who follow me and those who comment on my posts. I like being liberal with my voting on comments because it gets dialogue moving and helps many overcome their worry about comment because of the reward versus fee.

I automatically mute any user who has the red warning sign next to their name. Much of mny time is taken up in the endeavor of weeding out the "bad" ones. I have yet to even begin my next post, because when I do have the time I am looking into new followers.

Thank you for your effort.
