After much review we have decided to disable for all users the Auto Re-Steem feature. We have determined it does not add much value to Steemit and when activated by accident leads to drastic unwanted consequences! For this reason we have completely disabled this feature until further notice!
We apologize for any inconveniences this may have or will cause to anyone using our service! We feel this is needed to maintain the level of quality you all have become to expect from us and this feature has proven to since its birth, though a great idea in principle, be a disaster mostly in practice!
We are extremely happy to announce that the feedback and input over the time this feature did exist led us to a way to create enhancements that will begin to roll out in the next weeks and months!
Thank you again to everyone for being part of this project and as always please continue with all the feedback! With out it we wouldn't know how to make things better!
Mr. Shadowblaster, do you have a discord server setup?
Tsk, how am I going to become famous on Steemit without spamming everyone? This is how all the whales keep the power you know, by oppressing the Steemit Plebians. ;-)
We will be rolling out a much nicer version of the re-steem feature that will allow others far more control over what exactly their accounts do re-steem automatically!
Do you also cleanup the members list once in a while? When I look at it, I see some members on it, that you really don't want to have...?
I clearly need to gather my own gang of sock puppets. Getting famous on Steemit is taking too long. LOL
The dashboard on your website is having errors, it wont load.
What issue are you having?
unable to load the dashboard
Can you provide a screenshot? Is there any error message?
What is the url of that page?
http://shadowbot.us/shadowbot/dashboard.php
@shadowbot, thanks. with you guys disabling the resteem, I think I will sign up with you again.
Awesome, glad to have you back! If you have any input/feedback please let us know!
or you can configure the @shadowbot so every one can resteem the posts that he likes (based on tags, accounts or reputation...) this will be great in the futureone other thing @bigdeej about the shadow rank how does it change because i think my account rank is frozen or something like that and thank you for the update.
We are working on a new more advanced version of re-steeming that will allow much more control. Until then this feature will remain off.
Shadow Rank is calculated over a 7 day period and updated once per week.
May I suggest that neither resteem or follow ought to become automated - it would be better to provide a feed iniside your interface where I can see stream of posts by others using @shadowbot
This way, the process of supporting by re-steem or to follow will be made easier but not left to an automation. I guess you would also gather more support and use of the site this way because these fucntions are sorely needed I think.
Such a feed would obvioulsy have passed your own filters so I would probably spend more time there than on the main site in the end.
this will be a great new feature to have thnx for the update
Thank you because my friend has stopped steemit because he has resteemed 5 hundreds posts because of you. I have a problem :
Will take a look, Shadow Ranks should recalculate once per week. Which account is this regarding specifically, it would help us identify faster any potential issues?
It's my account, my shadowrank is 20
Will look through everything and see if/what is wrong! Thanks!
Seems to have been an issue in the timing! Just ran it, everyone got the adjustment they should have yesterday and we fixed the timing issue so should not be an issue!
OK thank you very much!
Do we really gain from @shadowbot ?
We find people earn consistently with ShadowBot. Here are our current stats:
Total Shadow Casters: 659
Pool Steem Power: 243,715
Total Shadow Rewards: 8,525.57326108 SBD
Past Week Shadow Rewards: 1,791.15529132 SBD
Yes I've earned more than 30 SBD!
i am very sorry this happened, it has been due to my own mistake. But it was horrible not being able to find my own posts anymore.
As we realized many people mistakenly were activating this feature and the results landed up being very intrusive. We as such have disabled this feature until we can give more "fine-tune" control over what exactly is re-steemed! A single number we now realize is not enough to use for determining which posts to re-steem!
Congratulations @shadowbot!
Your post was mentioned in the hit parade in the following category:
Please timely update the shadow ranks, its been like few weeks my ranks remains the same.
We should keep an eye on this, because as I understand it, it makes a huge difference because priority is based on ranks...otherwise it will be a small group that front-run the others...based on rank...
ShadowRanks are updated every Sunday night once per week. "vishal09: Shadow Rank Shadow Rank Increased by 2! 2017-12-04"
Thanks mate! Just keep up with the ranks , everything else is awesome about shadowbot. Loving it
I think for Re-Steem need more advanced configurable Dashboard
Agreed that is what we are working on now. Until there is a fine level of control we will keep the feature disabled!
Is this legit? How can I can I join?

Hello shadowvot ,i have not getting upvote please help me sir
hello shadowvote, i have not getting upvoted
same here
good tell me why you dont back upvote me after 3 days you dont upvote
hy @shadowbot I am not getting votes from last 3 days. I am following rules properly. What should I do to improve my condition.
How often does the Shadow Rank update?
I bought 1,882 Steem Power and now my account holds the 11th biggest Steem Power in ShadowBot.
And from what I have seen my Upvote is the 5th biggest upvote from Shadowbot.
I was hoping my Shadow Rank would go up but it has not. Please take a look at my account.
I have given full control of my account to Shadowbot and I rarely use my upvotes.
I hope my account deserves a Shadow Rank update.
Thank you.

good news here :)
The auto resteem thing is the reason I decided not to join, because a resteem cannot be undone and could be any random thing I do not support being posted onto my blog as if it were my opinion.. I know it was optional but it made me paranoid that by the time I get it turned off damage is already done, so I abstained.
Anyway, now that autoresteem is disabled I may join :)
Actually Im really glad you have done this, I unsubscribed from shadowbot because after not posting for a few weeks, I came back to Steemit and my blog page was just a huge list of @shadowbot resteems, not great for follower retention.
I have just rejoined! Yaay!
I agree with your decision. I just joined the your service last night and I am still reviewing the system. My natural sense tells me that curation ought in an ideal world, be left entirely to human beings. Of the two ways that I curate, resteeming is the one I would never wish to be left to an automated process as this can tarnish in irreperable ways, my reputation with followers. So, given this is NOT an ideal world, my upvotes, may be traded to gain some exposure while also assisting others in my situation. The $ for exposure bots I find repugnant, and I could never use them. So this solutiuon, I hope, may be a middle road where my votes can further my plan to gain initial traction, and later (if I grow power) I may contribute to the growth of others. For the moment, it seems this bot is a morally sound equaliser of sorts on steemit.
Concerning auto-follow- I have turned it off for the moment, as I have adopted the practice of very carefully scrutinizing content feeds before I choose to follow so that my feed is kept clean and of a high quality. I also do not wish to upvote inadvertently, anyone who I have assessed to be using indefensible methods to gain exposure or monetary rewards. I noticed that you have a blacklist based off of certain cheat or plagiarism lists. This is a good thing, however, I have my own criteria for making decisions about following and curation - For the moment, I mute followers who I deem to be objectionable or who engage in dishonest practices which downgrade the value of the steemit environment. I would love to explore some of these concepts further. I have already asked around about a filter which may eliminate account which I place on a blacklist of my own, for instance.
Perhaps there is room to build into a customizable list for those in your system, which could allow me to turn the auto-follow back on.
