self-voting is a dodgy way to raise voting power, especially if you are missioning against bid-bots... because in a way bid-bots are still doing more for the community than self-votes...
but i do absolutely see the mission that you're on. We've had run-ins about your self-voted intro comments a while back and you've explained this to me... upon which I lost my objections against your self-voting.
It's the same strategy as employed by many anti-abuse initiatives like steemcleaners etc who have to resort to self-voting in order to "stay in the race".
And maybe that's the real issue here, to little stake is willing to sacrifice some ROI for the sake of the platform.
Now, I haven't fact checked your statement on never cashing out anything so far, but granted that to be accurate, that's the deciding factor... are the "missionaries" extracting value from the platform or are they creating/protecting it on the platform?!
Yeah... I didn't say that voting-bot-whales don't abuse their VP... that's disgusting, but totally off topic here. Maybe you missed my point, it's a bit cryptic I guess :P
DAMN! I fault you a little for self voting...but not that much.
I hope that you haven't done anything too questionable with these accounts to raise SP for your project. Considering that you are trying to fight bid bots and they're primarily used to make a good ROI on shit content, I doubt this.
Might I suggest a program to encourage delegation? Perhaps similar to the MSP's votes for delegators. Perhaps with the caveat that they do not use bid bots.
I see one of my posts was downvoted by you and a bunch of others. Is that because i used bots? Did you even read the post to see if it was high quality? I spend a ton of time writing on here and posting all original content. It is not my fault that the best way to get noticed is from bots. That is how the platform works. Why punish people with good content?
Hey just a thought...... Why not use some of that sp to delegate or "sponsor by voting" authors/ creators who don't use bots..... Further incentivise it..... Because Steemits survival clearly isn't enough. If I knew posting something of quality would get noticed on it's own more often I'd never use them. I'd probably even post more often. Btw transparency bot was one of the first cool things I noticed about Steemit.... To be fair it's also what introduced me to bid bots....
Pretty cool. Didn't know about this. Thanks for getting back to me. My use of bots is minimal. Maybe I'll stop all together. What are your thoughts on stuff like Quator ?
Dead on! I think I've seen at least 2 bots I may be helping to kill. It's a slow assassination process though. They basically do get choked off overtime if I am able to outbid them.
Damn, this is how this platform works. You want to ban official bidbots and prefer when people trade Upvotes in the darknet?
This is NOT "abuse" at all.
Abuse is when a single person declare himself as the sheriff, prosecutor, judge and executioner as himself!
If someone uses bidbots it is obvious and most important bidbots make their own comment. This is all "transparency" we need.
For example in my postings I announce to use bidbots but wait for about 24 hours not to destroy curation for the others. They all will have higher curation when value of the post becomes higher because of bidbots.
I will be by EVERY DAY to remove ALL of your pending rewards.
Again, go fuck yourself @bycoleman. Your piddly fucking SP can't compete with the wrath that will be bestowed upon your accounts.

Great job sir!

if i didnt self vote, id barely earn a cent.
as it is, im luck to make a dollar a day off a post :P
You are not alone. Steemit as I knew it is destroyed.
Ehem... have you seen boosters self upvotes? They are triple digit.

@investfourmore
He flaged us to with his 100 accounts. You can send us your postings, we resteem it for free.
@resteem.bot
How do you opt back in and shouldn't that be mentioned with the opt out option?
Flag them instead, makes the comment invisible except for the note at the bottom ;)

Because @bycoleman is a real piece of shit. That's why. Easy answer!

Pretty cool. Didn't know about this. Thanks for getting back to me. My use of bots is minimal. Maybe I'll stop all together. What are your thoughts on stuff like Quator ?
I have been outbidding most of the bots. I think some might die.

What do you mean by outbidding?
Yeah I don't know if I can say it better than enforcer just did.

I'm a bot. I detect haiku.
I guess he means he's sending out so many delegation requests to be filled that it chokes out bots that rely on delegations to perform their services?
Essentially, artificially raise the barrier of entry.

I see. :)
@bycoleman
Can you please stop flagging our postings?
Our fight was weeks ago and over. Why are you starting that again?
What's that gonna do besides make you more enemies?
