Great work @transparencybot ! Keep going and ignoire the territorial doggies.
I think your bot is great, and anyone opposing it simply has got something to hide. You are only reporting and not punishing like grumpy cat etc. They are probably jealous that they didn’t came up with this themselves.
The report is fine just don’t put on people’s comments. If people wanna follow and look they can.
This is just the typical comment you expect from people who come here and want to kiss butt hoping that a whale will want to mate with them in exchange for a good upvote. By the comment you can tell that they don't really understand how blockchain works since they put the words Transparency and blockchain together in the same sentence. Steemit is still too young in the public's eyes to see what is wrong with this bot and how it is actually the scammer that is offering NOTHING but spamming and upvoting itself. It brings sand to the beach.. It brings your gf to the stripclub so ur not lonely and these people don't understand it because they stumbled on steemit and became haters because they probably only get a few cents here and there and their inner hater just can't stand that you can have a post with some money on it so they come here and say things that make it very clear that steemit has a ways to go before we start seeing the kind of intelligence here that is required to make a real change.
I have to say that while I find it facile to argue that @transparencybot isn't providing useful transparency (that doesn't require digging through the blockchain data personally) in an immediately and useful context (when you're considering whether to upvote a post), I do admire your attitude.
Keep spitting fire!
The fact that vote buyers are trying to hide the comments is ALL TOO TELLING. There is something inherently dishonest about using bots and your kind are merely proving the point.
The truth is vote buyers don't want their audience to know they are propping themself and each other up on hype.
oh yeah all too telling hahahaha.. that they dont like spam!! Are you guys saying that you advocate for spam on the network!????
I think the principle of transparency is a good thing but I can see the case for it being spam due to it's unsolicited nature so I get that. Still, the whole idea brings to light a real problem even if people don't like to admit it.
However, it is not made plainly evident which votes are submitted programattically via bots versus manually via a human especially to user that aren't really familiar or new to the platform.
If that were so, I'm sure some people would opt out of upvoting because some people just don't like that sort of thing when they are made aware.
Unless it's the SuperBowl, a lot of people tend to avoid commercials / paid advertisement. I know I don't come to Steem for that shit.
You flagging @steemflagrewards was some bullshit. I don't recall there being any dialogue predicating that action. No discussion at all. Nothing.
No trying to convince me of your points etc. You just went straight away with a flag.
Relevant gif.
Can you please stop this many spam comments?

A lot of users are really pissed because this spam.
@resteem.bot
why shouldn't it be put on comments? it seems like pretty important information to know since we can't see exactly how much of the payout is from bots unless we use busy.org.
We (we are a team) have absolutely no problem if this bot wishes to inform our users that we use bidbots to upvote nor the amount. We are confident in our work by the amount of time that we put into our research in order to write quality articles about topics that we believe our followers are truly interested in. We don't reach an ROI because we have never sold a single steem or sbd, we are a website that has been around since 2011 among the Truther community and don't intend to leave this platform anytime soon. Our problem in particular comes from the SIZE (there is a reason for the caps) of it's comments. It takes up so much space with it's comments while at the same time begging for upvotes and steem delegation... That space should be used for meaningful comments related to the article. If you MUST feel it is your duty to report our bidbot usage then stick that comment at the bottom of our page. DO NOT take up so much space that upon visiting the article someone must scroll down so far just to get to the real comments. This is spam and merits a flag (though we have not flagged this bot as of yet, in all honesty we have a bit of a bet going as to it's life expectancy due to it's methods of delivering transparency to the blockchain.. sorry that just tickles me every time I think about it) Every case is different and in ours we don't care since we are not profiting nor do we intend to change our plan to turn a profit. With that said we improve steemit since we brought our hard earned cash to this platform and did not remove any because without investors steem is worth less than a facebook like. (e.g: Do you know why sbd is worth $2? Because someone is willing to pay $2) bycoleman was smart enough to create this bot.... they should be smart enough to fix the problems with it so that their "Anti-Spam" bot does not present itself as the biggest spammer on our posts. (BTW, bycoleman has used bidbots themselves on a level that we did not even know was possible once we did some digging and seen they joined in Dec and have a rep of almost 60 and bid-botted themselves into a succesful position and an account that is worth a decent tax return even while steem is at a low... Want to know how much this hero was giving themselves when sbd was around $7-$9 a piece instead of $2? We wouldn't be Truth Beyond Lies if we didn't know the answer ^ ^)
sorry about the book we wrote if you read it all but we hope that it does atleast explain what our real problem with all of this is.

What is there to hide? You can view all transactions?
If everything is transparent.... what are you doing?!
