I represent BitcoinNews, and we just joined Steemit to share our content with this community. All of our content is 100% original, it is written by our writers and goes through our editor who checks for plagiarism.
@buildawhale put us on our blacklist, and is saying on every post that we are either spam, a scam, or plagiarizing content. I have reached out to @buildawhale through multiple communication channels and have received no response.
This amounts to harassment, defamation, and spam on all of our posts. We are trying to provide the full spectrum of crypto and blockchain news to the Steemit community, and it doesn't make sense that someone like @buildawhale who claims to be trying to protect the community is trying to hurt this effort to provide the news.
We are apparently not alone, several other users are complaining that @buildawhale unjustly is posting with their bot on all of their posts ( https://steemit.com/buildawhale/@buildawhale/6yacyq-buildawhale-blacklist-update#comments ) and @buildawhale is unresponsive to these complaints.
I request that @buildawhale cease using their bot on our posts, and to be more careful in the future when 'blacklisting' users. This is not something that should be done without careful analysis like it is done now.
This user is on the @buildawhale blacklist for one or more of the following reasons:
Regardless if it is your content or not, 114 posts in a single day are why you made it on the list.
Well, we just joined and are catching up on posting all the news. Please remove us from the list, we are not spamming, we are providing blockchain and crypto news, and our rate of posting will soon normalize as we are nearly caught up.
