thank you for the clarification, @personz. what do you think, is there a way to meet each other without dogmatically expecting some behaviour from only one side? i mean, you understand what the problem is. i'm just asking if there can be a way that both sides are satisfactorily with. would you like to support the @steembay project somehow? pls, let's think about something constructive. you try to do something good and @pollux tries the same. it should be possible to reach an agreement...
meanwhile the downvoting goes on and on. and because of the way higher reputation the flagging accounts have, it hurts the reputation of @steembay more and more. how much time does he have to react to this? seriously, this certain mercilessness can't do good here in this special case. negotiate this, please.
The bot is due in a few hours to analyse the previous seven days' activity and update. If @steembay was not self voting very optimally in the last seven days then it will not be on the updated list.
Otherwise I don't see a reason to make an exception. The whole point of using an algorithm is that it is fair. People have accused us (without looking) of favoring whales and so on, but the bot does not play any favorites. If we do that the project loses credibility.
I am open to discussion about it, obviously as here I am. But if @steembay is committed to self voting we are at cross-purposes unfortunately.
