So, this is what grumpy @abh12345 looks like? :) Way different than what Grumpy Grandpa looks like. Very informative (while not condoning) and very little to no blasting. :) I've been working on a post of my own on a somewhat similar but not exactly related topic (without success) that's far more stern with much more chewing out. :)
Isn't it interesting, though, that the things we're not necessarily for, ie, bidbot voting, is one of the best ways to track down higher curation rewards. In other words, they seem to feed one another. Hmmmm...
Not condoning but with a fair amount of tongue in cheek. You can blast and be stern, it wont change much and so it's better these days to make light and not days of work for yourself.
The Bots are mostly covered as far as rewards - the auto's / coders have worked out who uses them regularly and are on the posts like a shot. The link in the post is interesting, if you change the tale (my username and link) for something else, you'll likely find that the tiny votes in the first few mins earn the best % ROI-wise - Sometimes in the 1000s %.
Anyway, back to the now 9 hour post, that i haven't started writing up yet :D
