*silly sock-puppets pop-up*
*yadda yadda... yaddayaddayadda*

Thanks for the 'heads-up' on the bullshit entertainers!

@bifilarcoil

I'm starting to cop this crap now too.  Same sock puppets working together.  
@heather2000, @banjokid, @thinkingtime, @roccofalcone, @somenick, and likely a few others (like @ninjapiraterobot)

They seem to lead back to the @galactic123 account, and his @echowizard service.  

Looks like @personz challenged him months ago about the behavior in this post [here](
https://steemit.com/gaming/@galactic123/mmorpg-progress)

We really should maintain a list of these accounts somewhere.  

I know @v4vapid has also covered this, although this looks to be separate group.

Thanks for sharing; your information is useful. I upvoted and resteemed. I also commented on @v4vapid and @ura-soul posts regarding this issue, and some of the same members that you mentioned. I feel much the same as you in this regard. Personally, I think that downvotes should only be downvotes and have no (or at least very minimal) financial, reputation or visibility effect. I'd suggest reserving flagging for pointing out illegal activity only.

Jeeesh, I just went through this one too @palikari123 , good details, thanks. Ending up following the breadcrumbs onto @v4vapid 's post about the circle jerk puppets. This is some serious bullshit...glad I have a greater awareness now and will do my best to draw attention to this problem/report to steemcleaners when i see it.

Ugh, and the rewards pool raping too...I hope the steemit devs are keeping their heads up, planning some counters. This sort of rot could literally destroy the platform before it gets out of beta.

@palikari123 I am going to take your post and I will do a translation to Spanish. Your information is very important for people like me  that we are arriving to Steemit. I recived a negative upvote too from  @heather2000 and my post only talks about the felicity connotation that each someone has.

Have a look at @heather2000's spam history
