Ironically, the first post of mine that this guy flagged was about a spam ring with over 7000 accounts that has already taken about $22,000 - which is itself a repeat of an operation that reportedly made off with $80,000. It also distracted me from investigating a series of accounts who are earning $10 in bidbot votes on each of hundreds of one-word comments on old posts.
I guess I need to be more careful in choosing my battles - publicly at least.
Lets just hope that people don't start flagging the @sadkitten bot that has been set up to counter excessive self-upvoting.
You were on @smartsteem's blacklist for a reason. You are basically bribing people for upvotes but your posts have little substance.
It's the same damn thing over and over again. How about posting something with quality instead of using gimmicks? The only reason you are making it is you are hyping the posts up with bots and then luring people in with the expectation for upvotes. It's not anything special. You are essentially upvote farming.
Do you really want to stop the abuse? Please, show us with more than your words. Here's a bid bot abuse profile.
The work is inside the posts. Ate 6-8hrs/day easy and at least I am giving out couple hundred $ per month to the minnows. The only reason that I have in Smartsteem's blacklist because I have posted more than 6 posts per day. If you do not like what I am doing, it is just fine, someone else will do. Everyone has their own thinking.

Time will tell whether @transparencybot's intentions are pure. He appears to be willing to take suggestions and act on them.
