Speaking of abuse, there's a three word post on the trending page at $80 with votes from prominent Steemians and bought votes, and only an insignificant downvote that makes me wonder if I'm missing something. Who is transisto, and why would his low effort post get a pass? Maybe there's some worthy beneficiary? How would I know?

You have my support, I know you have put a lot of work into all this. Greetings from Bangkok.

I have supported this proposal. Are Steemit using it to remove their delegation from accounts they create or is that a separate process?

There is a separate process for that, but I do have a blacklist in the API that shows those who have had delegation removed in the past.

Would you be able to direct me to where can I report an account that is using it's delegation to spam-downvote?

There really isn’t a group who handles downvotes. I would start with whoever is elevating.

Is there a proper way to get profiles removed from this list yet?

There has always been a #blacklist channel on the buildawhale discord.

OK, I'm not sure if I posted in there previously or not but I did highlight an account to you that was put on the list due to a technical issue with steempress causing a high number of posts to be made automatically without intention. As I recall you said you'd look into it but the account was not removed from the list and I didn't hear any more. This led to the account owner leaving steem - he's someone who appears on the BBC and elsewhere from time to time.

I know the user you are talking about as someone forwarded it to me recently. I don’t see any record of the account being mentioned. Just checked steem chat and we never talked. We only spoke once in #witness chat briefly about something completely different.

Not sure why someone would leave steem because they are on a blacklist because they posted 60 times /day. It doesn’t impact his ability to post or get votes. Just means he can’t use my bot. Now days many more services use it but very few bid bots did. Less than 5%.

Forcing people onto a Discord channel to resolve issues from the blockchain is user-unfriendly and unnecessary. Operators should provide the reason a user has made a blacklist and communicate on the blockchain.

Since I learnt that Discord sells their user info to advertisers, I have refused to use it. I felt it was my decision to give steemit my email because I wanted an account, but I did not and do not choose to take that risk with Discord. So, I asked for a Steemit account where I can complain ...but, no luck - so, good luck to you getting a favourable response.

I went ahead and gave you a vote..
