I really like the fact that you are going to use an opt out for your bot! I just have one question.
You stated, even in the comments you leave on posts that its by no means an attack to the post nor quality for said post. Now I read this from you...
If you elect to opt out of the comment, then transparencybot reserves the right to downvote you post for disagreement with rewards.
Is that you saying that you do disagree with the payouts on posts you leave the reply? Because to me that sounds like, Hey if you opt out on my comments I am going to flag you!
Just wondering while slithering in happiness.
dear @poeticsnake
very useful article
I am glad you are going to do the flag after manual curation. And by all means I am not saying that you are not free to use a flag how you see it fit.
What I am after is your reasoning for doing this project. Mostly because of the way you word things like in this post.
After reading it twice it made me feel like you are now giving people the choice to either accept your comments or to get flagged instead of the option opt out/never hear from again or accept my comments on your posts!
I believe that a good discussion is never wrong as long as both parties are willing to see the other persons sight.
