@calva bot is busy spamming threads with the same pricing message hoping to rake upvotes. Right now, it seems that the bot is designed to give downvotes to anyone that downvotes @calva in the threads. This isn't a huge problem because this bot doesn't have much Steem Power, however it has the potential to destroy new posts and force them out of gaining popularity. I imagine this kind of act will grow worse over time without some kind of intervention.
Perhaps, downvotes could be anonymized for 1 hour?
Throttle heavy downvoters?
So beware if you see this bot out in the wild. It may destroy the ability for your posts to gain ground. Especially, if your account is fairly new.

@calva has been added to the @steemservices spam bot. if you see any more of their messages, please let me know directly.
Good job.
I think this kind of thing should result in action being taken against the offending account. Too bad that people like @ned will ignore this. These kind of malicious bots could ruin thins for everyone by putting people off downvoting.
