Thanks for highlighting this issue. We have also noted and removed some of the authors doing these types of posts. Sometimes it becomes hard as we are unable to monitor every post.
There are many accounts, that just post rubbish content but still get voted.
I think we all curators can do one thing, share a report weekly and tag other curators to block/remove the users involved in such practices.
This would be great, as one eye can see a dot, and more eyes can see the whole picture.
We will share some of the accounts, by today and tag others.
Once again.
Thanks
Perhaps someone can take on the task of finding and outing these spammers who abuse Blurtbooster and other curation efforts? Post a weekly list, with evidence, and encourage others to comment with their suggestions to be added on the next update.
I'm not in favour of deleting or banning accounts, no matter what, but we should definitely have a free-market solution. Making curators aware of them would help. Myself, I only curate manually, and never reward junk like flowers or actifit spam.
Yes, being an open community one can do this. It's up to curation accounts to follow those lists or not, but they should, as it's helpful.
