The bots war is finally over. The fight against cheating had come to an end. Is it really over?
Now that @weenis army of bot been in silence for awhile now was this war really over?.
Two days ago @weenis made a post that tells us to vote if we would like to realease the bots and learn to make one or to [shut them down]
and with the score of 43 against 50 in favor of the shut them down option as of writing this, would this be over?
What is this war about?
If you haven't notice yet or you are new on steemit. Theres a war going on with each post we make. The war of the bots. There are bots who post automated comments on your post and their comment gets upvoted by other bots to get profit and this is being stop by other bots by down voting them.
This is far from over...
@weenis said that 99% of bots here are from him, maybe true. but steemit is still in beta and more are joining everyday and as we grow in populatiom more would be tempt to use bot to cheat or spam for profit or just for fun. The only thing we could do for now is to downvote this bots who spam and cheat the system.

Lol. Since english is not the native language for most of us thats the reason they cant express their thoughts really well. And that were steemit could help them learn and improve.
