An announcement has already been made that we will work as an anti-abuse team. But many people do not understand properly how our downvote policy will be. First of all, we are here to build up friendly relations and keep this platform very clean. We do not like to spread hate in any way. Our main task is to guide the users on the right path by showing them the mistakes. Downvotes will be used at the last stage, before this there will be many stages and they will be tried to understand the right thing. We always welcome those who will understand and do the right thing.

Our work policy is to first make the offender aware of his mistake and provide guidelines. If he still doesn't correct himself and continues the abusive activities then we will issue another warning. If the abuser continues to do the same, a downvote may be given as punishment. Although we dislike downvoting, in this case we will be forced to maintain the environment of the platform.

We have the ability to give big downvotes but we are not willing to show it for trivial reasons. Because our main goal is to bring all the abusers to the right path. Many people do different types of abuse without understanding steemit rules. If a user does not correct even after giving two or three warnings, then he deserves to be downvoted. Because then there will be no alternative to bring him the right way. Because then there will be no other way to bring him on the right path. It's an open platform, but it's our responsibility to maintain the proper environment of this platform, hope everyone understands our purpose.

***Now let's discuss what activities we consider as ABUSE.***

#### Plagiarism:

* If you present someone else's work or ideas as your own, without their consent, by incorporating it into your work without full acknowledgement, we will consider it as abuse.
#### Copyright Infringement
* If you download an image under copyright protection and use it in your own post, we will consider it as abuse.

#### Spamming:
* Repeated time unwanted activities and sharing of valueless content will be considered as abuse.

#### Identity Theft
* When someone uses another person's personal identifying information without their permission, will consider it as abuse.

#### Reward farming communities:
* If any person or group opens a community to conduct reward farming or other prohibited activities, it will be considered community reward farming abuse.

#### Scamming or, any Financial fraud on Steemit:

* Attempting any kind of financial scam or hacking related activities by using any kind of phishing link or any other method will be considered as abuse.

#### Fake Crypto ICO, IPO or, any Scam Coin Campaign:
* If someone tries to achieve their malicious purpose by involving users in any kind of fake Crypto ICO, IPO or, any Scam Coin Campaign, then it will be considered as abuse.

**Also earning rewards by sharing valueless content is a kind of rewards abuse. We always advise users to write more than 100 words.**

We will work on these issues for now. Even after that, if we find any kind of new abuse, then we will start working on that too. And we request all users of this platform, if you find any kind of abuse, report it directly to our team. The greatest results come from the combined efforts of all. We expect everyone's overall cooperation and friendly behavior,
Because friendly behavior will encourage us more in this noble work. Remember we are not enemies.

##### We skip steemit investor's micro posts.

When a user abuses, he has a minus contribution to this platform. That means he is harmful for this platform. But an investor who has already added a lot of value to the platform through his investment, his contribution is positive.
