@spaminator - where do you get your authority?

What are you asserting as any violation?

Here are the rules:

What is considered spam or abuse?

  • Asking for money, views, upvotes, follows, or resteems. (I said if I can help you)
  • Leaving nearly identical or materially similar comments on multiple posts.
  • Comments that are unrelated to the topic of discussion. (My posts are directly related to this post)
  • Sending unsolicited links or requests to users via wallet memos.
  • Posts that require upvotes to enter or play in a contest or game.
  • Sending users a link to your blog or a post if it is not relevant to the conversation. (my links are directly related and relevant)
  • Posts or comments that include little or nothing more than an offer to trade follows or upvotes. (I did not offer to trade or to get anything)
  • Using tags that are unrelated to the post.
  • Threatening users with any type of physical violence.
  • Not citing sources when using someone else’s material.
  • Posting ‘not safe for work’ content without using the “nsfw” tag.
  • Selling or offering to buy votes/resteems/follows, or schemes that facilitate this. (offer was to help If ...)
  • Scams or Fraudulent offers.

Your comment, @spaminator, is spam itself:

"

  • Leaving nearly identical or materially similar comments on multiple posts.
  • Comments that are unrelated to the topic of discussion.
    "
    unless you are authorized and have given notice to the same in the rules or FAQ.

wow! The evil empire, self appointed judge and jury, lives and prospers from this.
The steemit meter maid? traffic cop? Show me your license please!

Many articles ask for upvote, resteem, and follow at the end and many with graphics for the same - what about them?

The rule does not say "leaving comments" - only:

  • Asking for money, views, upvotes, follows, or resteems.
  • Sending users a link to your blog or a post if it is not relevant to the conversation

What about:
