You have received a @GrumpyCat flag because you or someone else send money to buy votes on your post from an irresponsible non-GrumpyCompliant service.
Some bots like @sneaky-ninja (by @michaeldavid) are acting irresponsibly by selling votes on posts very close to final payout. These votes are sneaky, not promotion and are most of the time placed on low value content.
Sending money to these bots is also financially supporting for-profit only posters (spammers).
To know what voting bot to use, refer to https://steembottracker.com/ and use those that have 3.5 day or less in the "Max Age" column.
Important warning, since @sneaky-ninja has made no effort to improve in more than 4 months, it's vote will still be countered even should they improve his Max Age setting.
So, after reading why you did this @madpuppy @grumpycat can you please remove your flag? I will agree to just use a different bot. I'm newish still to steem and my account is worth near nothing. Your downvote cost me 4 SBD on the total payout of the post and that is plain abusive to "me" especially when your gripe is with "them". Clearly there is a war between those who do and do not agree with you. Unfortunately I am stuck in the middle.
It is pretty clear that you mean business but I don't think you should be carrying this on at the expense of users on steemit. With all the crap going on here that is flag worthy, the bid bot thing is among the lesser evils if you can call it that even. This is evidenced by your position, and a "resistance" coming to my defense. I can see what you are trying to achieve but I hope you can be reasonable. It is unfortunate that no user higher than yourself has stepped in to stop this madness.
You want to protect "your" investment. Others too, want to advance their own goals. Somewhere in the middle is everyone else. If the outcome of your actions is a poor user experience, I think you are doing harm to your own cause. Please reconsider. There is a larger issue here that is potentially more threatening to your investment than vote bot usage. It's you.
Upvoted your latest post it was too late to remove the flag.
Thanks I appreciate it, I understand your motivations for your actions. Thanks for being reasonable, I will stop using sneaky ninja.
