Alert! Farming Communities
Communities should have as a priority to promote a participatory environment among users, as well as to review and value the content that is shared in it. Administrators and moderators must respect and enforce the content policies of the platform.
That said, it is unfortunate that some abusive users create communities for the purpose of running a reward farm.
Last week, I was able to find a community called Best where the administrators and moderators themselves were deliberately engaging in abuse, this was immediately denounced.
Recently, I have come across two new cases of abusive communities, created with the sole purpose of generating rewards from spam accounts, these are the cases of the communities STEEM AC-IN managed by @ana07 and Steemit Animals Park created by @azifnur86, although we can see different administrators, they were created with the same purpose.
The administrator @ana07 shares the same textual content and complements it with an image brought from Pixabay or another website, without adding value to the community or the platform.
Similar is the case with the Steemit Animals Park community manager.
There is a little more abuse in these communities, and is that in most cases (not to say “all”), generate the same activity of sharing spam content, without these are warned or dismissed, rather they are considered as members and labeled with medals, leaving aside the mission to enforce the policies and welfare of the platform.
Let's take a look at some cases

nur90It is important to address these cases, with the mission to stop them and prevent them from continuing to affect the stability of the platform, and therefore, of Steem.
I invite all users to review the reputation of the team of each community before generating an activity in it. On the other hand, I call on those who are somehow supporting these contents, such as @steem.history.
I take the liberty of quoting @steemcurator01, @xpilar, @the-gorilla, @steemchiller, @pennsif, @moecki,
@steemwatcher.com, and @remlaps, for your knowledge.
I cannot say goodbye without first inviting you to join the #Club5050, where the purpose is to accelerate the growth of our accounts to provide greater support in our communities.
To be part of the #club5050, you just have to make sure that during the last month you have a greater amount of Steem turned on than Steem withdrawn.

I have just paid these administrator's a visit
You are currently voting 100% fake/lazy witnesses and I guess you are not aware of this yet.
steem.history
@steemchiller has asked @xpilar to help and we have now done that and removed our witness votes. Maybe you will consider doing the same, just a thought 😃
Just removed a few and added a couple
🆒 You’re a star, thanks 🐾
Dont forget to add @stmpak.wit in your witness list
we are working on steemchat +
https://steemchat.org
Done
Nice to see : love from pakistan
If that is what you want then do it because it is your right.
I am not looking for enemies on the Steemit platform but I am just looking for friends and having fun.
That's your mistake bro...
It's been a long time since my posts have been rewarded by the Steemit team, be it @steemcurator01 or @steemcurator02, because that's impossible, so just judge it yourself, why should I waste my time?
Very well done you 👊
Thanks for the support, there is a lot to cover with this topic.
Meanwhile admins!
Greetings my steemit friends..
I will follow the steps taken by @azifnu86 if my community is a farming community and can harm you from the results of the prize fields that I get so much..
I just have fun with the community I created and that is my happiness, if my happiness causes anxiety to other people then I will stop the activity too..
Best regards always ;

Your fun can harm the reputation of the platform, since the content you share, along with multiple accounts, lacks seriousness. You need to be aware and use your Steemit account in the best way.
Nice catch, and thank you for looking out for the community.
Thankfully, Steemit is much better these days than 5-6 years ago when the whole "faming" thing was just over the top!
We try as much as possible to ensure that everything runs as smoothly as possible, but unfortunately there are always those who do not like to follow the rules or behave appropriately.
If the activities carried out in my community can harm you and the Steemit team, then I will stop all activities in my community,
I appreciate your great work,
Good job,
Good luck to you.
Thank you, friend!
I'm @steem.history, who is steem witness.
Thank you for witnessvoting for me.
please click it!

The weight is reduced because of the lack of Voting Power. If you vote for me as a witness, you can get my little vote.
Upvoted. Thank You for sending some of your rewards to @null. It will make Steem stronger.
Yeah, this kind of stuff gives the chain a bad name to anyone who might be new to the process, like me. It really isn't that hard to write something new with each post.
