Hey @dreamants,
first of: While I do understand your frustration and why you'd want to make this whole thing public - there is no need to push it so high.
2nd: I'm sorry that you were treated unfairly. I personally believe in innocent until proven otherwise as I've stated often enough - that's why I asked you for your identity confirmation, before your vote would be removed.
Now, I still blacklisted you from Smartsteem just in case, which will be revoked when the whole situation has cleared up.
The reason why people reacted to harsh against you, is because there were a lot of cases where people blatantly stole other peoples content and pushed it with hundreds of dollars.
While this might rationalize it - I still believe that the fast flags & vote-removals weren't fair.
I'll notify steemcleaners for you.
It's still a shitty post.

Reason you are one of the top fellow steemers I like.
Votes can be easily reversed so I don't see that as a problem. The real problem was the potential damage to the reputation of Steem of having a post that was giving off a very pungent whiff of plagiarism sit on top of the trending page. Action needed to be taken immediately. The onus is on the content creator to provide assurance that their content is original. If it is not original content adequate referencing needs to be provided. Neither was done is this case. It is also the responsibility of the content creator to monitor comments.
Who is this guy and who gave him this authority for whitelisting and blacklisting. First they make bots to earn money, which they rob people on and then they strip them off due to bad content? Robbers with ethics? Lovely
