So what if it downvoted? If you read the FAQ that's on the profile of the account it will be glaringly obvious that those flags are well earned, the point was and still is that it doesn't automatically flag and the flags are done by real peopl. I wonder if you to go to the replies under cheetah could you exemplify this insinuation of bad connotation, so we know how many and what people have a bad taste after cheetah messages them that it had found similar content, I think you'll be hard pressed to conclude that this bot is invaluable and people that are at least mildly considerable would hardly take the name of the bot as insulting.

I have seen the downvotes not well earned, in fact it seems to be going on right now if you would have checked one of the links I put in a comment. Also, "so what" is directly because someone claimed the bot does not downvote. I respect your opinions on the matter but I do not agree with them, especially with a bunch of conjecture that we do not have the ability to create analytics to look at, specifically users not joining Steemit based on broken operations coming from a robot that is supposedly from a site based on actual users votes being the thing that makes the difference.
Don't get me wrong. I am not trying to penalize anyone. I said I like the bot I didn't say I didn't like the author. I like the content but I like it even more when I know where the source was copied from. the bot gives us a URL where we can see the content verbatim sometimes. Then decide if it was appropriate. Then I make up my mind to vote or not vote.
Then it should be called "Helpful Bot" or something with a positive feel if it is being helpful than called "cheetah" putting the word cheater in our mind and showing a duplicate link, no matter how cute the cat picture is.
It's cheetah not cheater. Cheetah that hunts down sources.
This is the first time I have read it referenced like that after being here a year lol, very clever, definitely needs a re-branding.
I see the bot penalizing this user https://steemit.com/drawing/@elenasteem/a-small-xenomorph-resumes multiple times currently, which if it is doing it because the person is not a human or plagiarizing, then that should be in the comments. Otherwise I have seen this user sharing genuine content and been pinged a lot by the bot. So in this case right now the bot has determined for us that this user is on a blacklist, it does not identify to the rest of us users why this is the case, and then for the user in question, they are now required to go into an off-blockchain chat to appease a robot or an unknown person to them behind it. I do not claim to have the answers on a better way to know this isn't the right way.
