DashPayMag Kicked Out Of BernieSanders Bot Program
Important: The nature of this information may not be well received by certain groups who participate in the actions described below. The rewards they have received have provided the means to censor this information.
This needs to be said to maintain the integrity of the steemit platform.
Who is involved:
@dashpaymag
@berniesanders
@thecurator
@steemservices
@steemservices1
@steemservices3
@steemservices5
@steemed
@steemroller
@itsascam
And many other accounts participating in this rewards system performed by bots, orchestrated by their creators.
The community will decide whether @dashpaymag was aware of the advantages being offered up. But without a doubt, this bot program is alive and well and needs to be shelved.
Background:
DashPayMag has been receiving generous payouts for author rewards in recent post. That ended when a recent post was flagged for reasons I will not cover here. You can view the post at @dashpaymag blog home.
The flagging of this post led to the removal of @dashpaymag from the bot voting group. The proof provided below will show this bot program in action and also the removal of @dashpaymag.
Observing the active post following the post that was downvoted, I noticed the active post (7 hours old) was not receiving dollar amounts comparative to the previous seven (7) post that were generously rewarded. Although normal in most cases, this peaked my curiosity a bit.
Immediately I started to look at @dashpaymag and the post history. What I found was revealing, yet very disturbing.
Please note:
My objective is not to discuss quality, or if content was deserving of the author reward paid out for each post. But rather to point out the gaming of rewards with voting performed automatically by bots. The bots I will collectively name the "berniesanders campaign".
The Proof:
We are going to look at some screen shots that show the @berniesanders campaign in action.
Below are screenshots of voters in 7 previous post before the downvote of a post:

In the first 4 post you will see votes cast by members of the @berniesanders campaign.
@steemed
@steemroller
@itsascam
Are also in the 4 posts.
3 Ring
Broadband
ETC Gaps

The next 3 posts shows the bots before @berniesanders campaign was added. You can't make this stuff up!
Notice the 15 minutes between post creation and bot post.

Now lets take a look at the most recent active post following the downvoted post.
Active post in it's 10th hour
You will notice @berniesanders and steemservices(all four of them) are gone.
These three didn't get the memo.
As you can see members of the @berniesanders campaign are missing. There are other voters missing as well that I have not mentioned. But soon will.
For all the writers who feel your content wasn't given the reward it deserved. You may have a reason to be pissed after seeing what goes on!
I will offer this advice. Continue to write, this will eventually fade away as the community gains awareness and speaks up against it.
So what now?
The bot program is deep.Some serve a purpose in the community, while others like the @berniesanders campaign do not.
These voting bots need to be shelved. The steemit platform has matured in such a way that human curators will provide fair voting across the platform, and not just a chosen few.
Steemit needs to implement a voter delegate system to assist highly weighted voters in distributing rewards to post deserving of such rewards, especially with new memberships on the rise.
I want to take part in the future success of the steemit platform and will not sit back and watch it be destroyed by those not serving the community in goodwill. I will continue to watch these bots, and will not hesitate to bring about true ownership of those operating them. The damage to public perception of the steemit platform may be irreversible if these practices continue.
Keep on steemin!
Flagged for tag abuse. This is not an #introduceyourself.
thats a great way to expand our platform and invite new users. scare them away, brilliant!
It's not a new user. It's your sockpuppet.
anyway man. you do business like this, you may have your tag police privilege taken away.
Why don't you have the balls to post under your main id?
you are a NOOB i get it...have fun big guy
lol..thats real nice.
so, let me ask you this..when we start onboarding new members and they have a tag out of place,,you will downvote them? So, no educating on proper tagging? just downvote and the user leaves the platform.
You may want to reconsider how you handle this.
This is probably just your sock puppet. "yes. I am introducing myself." You said this, and then you changed it to "yes. It is not introducing himself."
either way. the issue is how will you handle new users? you cant jump them like this everyday, just not good for retention.
Ok, a brand new user would clearly not know about politics of steemit. This was obviously a sock account. Which you have now admitted to. No education is need because you should know the rules.
damn dude, who and the hell gave you permission to downvote post. you obviously are too young to understand the implications of downvoting things that could easily be corrected. Im going to find out whose bright idea it was to let someone as irresponsible as you, have influence over our new members!
what are you ...like 12?
keep in mind perception of the platform..ok dude. have fun
I am. That's why I flag spammers.
yes. It is not introducing himself.

Oops, i was confused.
Edit: This is a sock account. He accidently answered me using his main account, and then edited that comment, thinking that would cover his tracks.

you are the problem in this community. dumb shits like you will keep ordinary people away from this platform. I will explain it all in my next post.
Sure, go ahead. I look forward to reading it. Be sure to tag it properly.
