Whales are flagging people and their bots maliciously and making Steemit look scammy.

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

I wrote a price comment bot and put it on @captainamerica It got upvotes from the people it commented on you can check, but some dbag flag whale doesn't want anybody but their whale buddies to be able to use bots. I am certainly not buying any STEEM until these whales are dealt with in some way.

Let me be clear I am not pissed off because they flagged my bot that everyone liked for no reason I am pissed because the whales are destroying this platform by doing these kinds of things. User retention here is a joke. I am certain some of these whales actually want Steemit to fail because they see it as Bitcoin's competitor. If they can destory STEEM by colluding to make sure they control who gets rewarded and abusing that ability openly, that is icing on the cake for them.

I just got flagged for maybe the first time, some guy with username @asshole. Its a new account but has powered up some steem. Strange eh

Im not sure about it being quite like that, but flagging as sabotage has to be punished in some way as well I would think.

Looking at the @asshole and @blacklist downvotes, they're being made at -1% only, so it's barely any negative rshares on the posts they vote. If someone's downvotes are malicious and a problem, @anyx has set up the @seraph bot to counter their votes.
