Spam Observations for 8/26

Whew! What a week! Well, week and a half really. I have been keeping an eye on the spam situation. No massive bot spam to report. I do see a few misguided Steemian's though. I really need to figure out labels for the different abuse patterns I find.

Case #1

These 22 accounts are working in collusion to comment spam and/or participate in the bot trail up-voting spam. You can see them in action here: https://steemd.com/love/@yosra/be-the-love-you-never-receive

@paris483@julia.p34@james902@markz19
@farah32@emma1921@rodger.crs2@john23
@david.sam130@omar4260@sarahm0@nader2102
@michael.co1@jasmine2@martin289@ibrahim20172
@anna2@justin0192@jonathan332@ahmed9971
@sophie.j90@yosra

If any of these accounts read this: Just stop with the spam!

Case #2

@god-is-love seems to have around 150 accounts regularly upvote comments older than 4 days. He's got some loyal readers!

Seriously though. If you have multiple accounts and use them to upvote your own posts & comments - don't try to hide it and don't spam 'introduceyourself' posts with "Nice to meet you, @insertname :) Welcome to Steemit!"

While these two cases have little impact by themselves... More are sure to follow if they find it profitable!
