I am increasingly seeing people becoming victims of irrational flags! I don't think it is healthy to be policed like this. If the system doesn't want users to use bots, they should address it in a better way instead of flagging people left right and center.
I just started following you now after reading this post, so you have the support of the people :D
This story in the Steemit white paper sums the situation up pretty nicely
Did the white paper have a proposed solution to this? Or was it just a warning...
Believe it or not, this was actually their solution to prevent voting abuse...
Wow you are 100% correct! Just like that! Pretty sad to be honest.
People should be allowed to use a upvote-service for what-ever they wish. If we, as a community, don't like the idea of upvote bots. Then the bots itself should be outlawed. Punishing people who make use of a legitimate service is a big no go for this platform.
Thank you! This is what I believe. How are we supposed to know that Whales have a Not Bid Bots policy in place?, who gave this people the role of Steemit Admins?, at the end of the day Bid Bots are now agaisnt Steemit Rules. This is just a few Whale accounts acting like they own the place.
