Whats a bot?

A bot is a script that does automated actions on Steemit. In this case a bot (computer program) scans posts for "bad ones" and my contest was deemed evil. The bot then downvoted two of my posts for $20 dollars each. Which means those down votes caused me to lose $42 dollars I would have got.
This is so bad..
But I have been going through your contests and I haven't seen any that is evil..
What could have happened???
I don't know they didn't tell me or I might change what I'm doing so as to not trigger these down votes. But without knowing the issue what can I do.
Just keep doing you man. If it keeps happening you'll see a pattern.. then.. complain? Who's in charge here?
It has been two days in a row. We will see if it happens again. I'm not going to go around begging people to remove downvotes. I'll take it like a big bunny but I would like people to know about it. If it continues I will just stop doing contests and post other things or not all but I'm not going to get in a whale flag war.
Oooh so sorry @bunnypuncher. Seriously, I have been going through your blog on daily basis and your works are always great. I just don't know the kind of pleasure they are getting in downvoting your work. I think it's jealousy. This is really bad. I wish I could help you out.
Thank you! I appreciate the kind words they do mean a lot. The point was never about money for me really.
