@pfunk I'm not programming the bots. We're giving instructions and tools away and encouraging ethical behavior by financially rewarding builders who do a good job.
The builders have the option to do as they please.
There will be a registry of anyone who has access to our tools and what bots are using the platform.
The code of conduct will state to keep your bot out of posted areas. #STEEMBOTSTAY is how you notify them. I don't have anything else to offer you in this regard. But I guess you can try contacting each bot's owner one by one and asking them to blacklist you manually. They aren't mine. I tried to bring them and their owners here, but you're flagging these conversations instead of upvoting what should be a very important and visible topic.
If you want your buy in on the code of conduct to count then join us and participate. You can be an important voice if you choose to be.
