[Emergency Proposal] Exclude user from MOON distribution due to content theft and spam

dfmines Cryptocurrency News August 7, 2021 | 0

It has recently come to our attention that one of the top users this month u/ Safelyoptimized has been breaking the rules and stealing other users comments in order to farm moons. They also have many comments that are spammed across main threads that appear to be off a pre-made list as they repeat the same generic comments every few days/hours. These comments earn them anywhere from tens to hundreds of karma each time. We have zero-tolerance for content theft and plagiarism. This user has been permanently banned for content theft which makes them ineligible from future MOON distributions, but they are still eligible to earn MOONs this period and are currently 19th on the MOON karma csv with 14972 karma.

It is not fair for the rest of the users who are following the rules to have these moons distributed for ill-gotten karma.

In the moons FAQ it says

The community has final say on who earns how many Points. If someone is acting in bad faith, for example spamming the subreddit, the community can vote to strike them from current and future distributions.

In order to prevent this user from receiving this months distribution, we must vote to strike them from the current distribution.

Examples of low-effort generic comments spammed across numerous threads:

"Enthereum we trust", "Rule number one of fight club, You do not talk about the fight club.", "YEAR OF THE ETH", "Eth is the future.", "ETH deserves this"

…and many more. You can view their profile and judge for yourself.

Examples of Comment theft in the daily discussion thread between July 1st – 14th. These are two dozen of the highest scoring ones.:
