RE: PSA For Bid Bot Owners Who Fail To Unvote Abuse

in #zappl7 years ago

Hi @anthonyadavisii, I had come here to chew you out over the @fushcarbon bot but I'm glad I read the comments first to see that this is some asshats being trolls under your name. You're now the third person I've talked with this week who's run into exactly the same problem (a low-powered downvoter bot spoofing another legit blogger).

This is definitely a flaw in the Steem ecosystem -- over at @steemsmarter we're working bot flagging tech that will isolate or ignore bot behavior as part our analytics -- still the community needs a better way to prevent bad actors from relentless trolling.

I can set up an auto-down vote for that @fushcarbon if you think it would help drive his votes and reputation down.

Yes, we like to call them the Steemit Doofus League. This all started as part of their beef with Bernie. Then, I decided to call out their shenigans and counter their votes with my own bots so they started playing even more dirty.

Agreed. I'll check out your project.

Appreciate the willingness to help but the problem is the account doesn't post so nothing to downvote. @themarkmark and @berniesanders are both taking appropriate actions to remediate the problem so I am optimistic.
