RE: Transparency Bot is going online to help fight the rampant rise in bidbots and their long term devastating effect on our platform.

This is great! I've been taking aim and reserving part of my voting power to flag overvalued trending posts. Now I can simply follow your comments. We need to make bid bots risky again. Yes I know people are losing money promoting but they need to deal with the consequences of the case when a large number of people do not like the post.

Effect is double if enough people chip in: bid bots being riskier means less users fill the pools and bid profits are less. That means those that survive the flag judgements are actually worthy of the value and we've hit a nice equilibrium.

Advertisement = Exposure. Not a guaranteed welcome reception.

Yes, I agree. We all need to spend a little SP "curating" trash. If even a fraction of the people flagged a low value post, then the problem would be solved instantly.

This is just one step, more are coming and I'm we are not going to be alone in this battle.

Thanks for the support!
