Daily "Introduceyourself Post" Bounty #33
🐟 🐳 Hello Steemians!! 🐳 🐬
@gogogadgetupvote here with another (almost) Daily Bounty Hunt!
I hope to encourage Steemians across the platform by rewarding new users introduceyourself posts, and by rewarding users who help me find the VERY BEST of the posts in that tag!
Everyday I will reward up to 3 users for sending me links to #introduceyourself posts. As well as Upvote and Resteem the posts that they link me to.
Not just any introduce yourself posts. They will have to meet specific criteria which I will outline in a moment, so you might have to do some looking 👁👁. I do ask that posts be in English or bi-lingual. Not that I don't want to support posts in other languages, but I can't judge if they meet my criteria if I can't read them. Thank you for understanding!
RULES FOR ENTERING THE DAILY BOUNTY HUNT ARE LOCATED IN THIS LINK 
You can click anywhere on the above image to visit the rules
(edits to the rules)
Rule number 3 should be two separate rules.
Rule # 3A. The age of the post, twelve hours to three days old.
Rule # 3B. Account activity. I want to see intro posts that have "Verification Photos" and replies to the greetings being left by others on said intro post. These activities help prove people are real and not bot accounts. I am not trying to reward one guy for making a bunch of different accounts and making intro posts for all of them. That is part of the reason that the #introduceyourself doesn't get as much attention as it used to.
Daily "Introduceyourself Post" Bounty #32
That is a link! If you click that link and scroll to the comments
you can see the awesome intro posts that were linked to the last contest! There were quite a few great links posted. They all need a warm welcome, so please help me welcome them by following the link and showing their intro posts some love. If you can't be bothered to check out the comments section of that post, I will post the links to the posts that took prizes in the last contest.- https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@planetweaver/introduceyourself-planetweaver

Okay, so sometimes I just can't actually make a decision on prize winners, and I end up choosing more than just 3 prizes(that in and of itself is a good reason to enter my contests)! Upvoting and supporting those posts isn't REQUIRED, but the more welcome we make new users feel, the more likely they are to stick around and possibly contribute something fantastic to the platform!
PRIZES!!
Due to the serious dip in the price of cryptos across
the board (not going into details, others have whole blogs dedicated to the topic) my Upvoting ability has been slightly hampered. Until the market settles down a bit, I am afraid that I may have to lower the prize values. I am going to do what I can to keep the votes up, but there is only so much I can do. For now, let's just hope for the best! Prize for the first bounty will be an Upvote at least $1.00, second will be an Upvote for at least $0.75 and third will be an Upvote worth at least $0.50. And hopefully the crazy markets will settle down a bit, and things will start going back up.
As always, thanks for taking the time to read my post!

You have been victim of a @GrumpyCat flag because you or someone else sent money to buy votes from an irresponsible non-GrupyCompliant service.
@sneaky-ninja is acting irresponsibly by selling votes to people on their post in the last hours before payout. = 99.99% abuse rate.
To know what voting bot to use, refer to https://steembottracker.com/ and use those that have 3.5 day or less in the "Max Age" column.

Ps: Buy votes on 6th day = Get REKT!
You definitely don't deserve to reward yourself TWICE for beating down a support project!
And you remove my ability to spread rewards to more users by forcing me to downvote you for the rewards you don't deserve!
Wow. News to me. You may want to check that 99.99% number. I am not abusing anything. I use the up bots to increase my rewards, yes. But am I taking my rewards and stuffing them in my pocket? Or transferring them off of the platform? Not at all, I use my increased rewards to in increase the impact my upvotes have on new users intro posts. To spread more rewards to more users. Because I make more STEEMPOWER by purchasing an upvote than by just powering it up. I have no problem being "grumpy cat compliant", but I didn't even know that was a thing. And slapping me with a big downvote with no warning on your ASSUMPTION that I am abusing something? I don't understand what I abused, and saw no post about it (not saying that one didn't happen, but Steemit is a big place, I didn't see it) C'mon guys, at least a warning! Also, you absolutely do NOT deserve a $2.53 upvote for your actions in downvoting a project designed to welcome and encourage new steemians. I am exercising MY RIGHT to remove your UNDESERVED rewards.
I rest my case.
Buy vote for promotion and not just reward. 6th day = no promotion value.
Did you even read the rest? Because there is some context that you left out there. What, you got to "I use bots" and quit reading?
I NEVER BOUGHT A VOTE ON THE 6TH DAY. YOU NEED TO LEARN TO READ YOU FUCKING MORON!!! If you are going to "punish" someone for doing something, you should at least be sure that they did the thing you said. I NEVER bought a vote on day 6.
He’s a huge scammer and a huge problem on Steemit. Go to his page/comments and start flagging.
I don't have that kind of power, man. That's what this piece of garbage is counting on. I have already used 4 full flags on him, but that is 4 full upvotes that I can't give out in rewards to people that legitimately deserve them....
Hi @gogogadgetupvote, @grumpycat buy votes from more non-Grumpycat compliant upvote bots.
@grumpycat and @checkthisout are the same person.
Check out this: https://steemblockexplorer.com/@grumpycat
P.S. The evil whale @grumpycat initiate a reward pool rape on Steemit.
It used to be called "Powering Up" - Grumpy seems to want to give that a bad name for some reason, except when HE does it
Right? I spent my SBD to get more STEEMPOWER! Not to take my SBD and send them to the exchange and cashout. which is what grumpybitch is going to do with his post rewards....

Buy votes on 6th day = Get REKT!
I bought my vote on the 5th day, not the 6th. You just downvoted me on the 6th day... You really are just looking for an excuse to reward yourself, aren't you? Your math doesn't add up. 20 hours to post payout, and YESTERDAY for my ninja vote, that's two days. 7 minus 2 is 5. 5th day, not 6th... If you are going to say you are downvoting a post for a specific reason, like a vote on the sixth day, you should at least make sure that what you are accusing the person of is true.
It has nothing to do with you but @sneaky-ninja. You're merely a collateral damage.
Stop using @sneaky-ninja in the future to avoid trouble.
Pro-tip: Even after he lower his max age.
Fuck you! You collect from the ninja too!!!
So true. Look at the pot calling the kettle black. This is fucking ridiculous.
My vote was at 5 days, not 6. I didn't do anything wrong, by YOUR RULES, and you still flag me anyway? Garbage.
I notice that you don't have the balls to respond to my legitimate accusations against you. Were you neutered? Is that why you are so "grumpycat"? And if you flag me, you only prove me right. Really, this is worse behavior than what you are accusing me of, and I didn't even do what you said you flagged me for...
Three times? You had to reward yourself THREE TIMES on one post? And you are accusing ME of abusing the rewards pool??? This is a bad joke, right? What the hell kinda cracker jack stand are you guys running????? Rewarding yourself for your cut and paste comments is just as bad, and just as abusive to the reward pool as the posts that you are flagging. C'mon, we aren't all scammers, a warning would be considerate, considering your behavior is just as bad as the behavior you are crying out against.
Rubbing it in.
$163 self upvote for saying Rubbing it in. You are a real piece of work. While you "flag" innocent posters rewards, you upvote yourself for more. In the end, what you are doing is reallocating rewards into your pocket. Theft.
My point exactly! Thank you for the Support @bitfiend! Not to mention the fact that before my response to him, he posted 3 comments and upvoted himself for all of them.....
Holy.... I was tunnel vision on responding to his bs upvote and just noticed who he actually flagged on this post. @gogogadgetupvote I appreciate what you do for the introduceyourself tag! You of all people certainly didn't deserve to get flagged. You're not the only one either and I think his approach is wrong.
Yeah, I am rather upset about this. This kind of self voting is worse abuse than the scammers he is downvoting. At least when a shitposter makes a bad post and pays for votes, they have to use their SBD to do it. This kind of self voting is way more abuse to the platform than any of the people PAYING for votes. Like, "oh, I have 3 million dollars, how can I use it to bully people today"
I feel you. Plus downvoting innocent people, eliminating rewards. He claims to have gotten all his steem dirt cheap so he doesn't care one way or another, all while cashing out thousands of SBD to bittrex.
Not everyone got in dirt cheap @grumpycat
DUDE, that's bullshit. My vote was at 5 days, not 6. What a fucking joke, you are a true fucking piece of work. Garbage. And I am the one abusing rewards, huh? Your behavior is worse than the spammers. 5 days, not 6. I didn't do anything wrong, according to YOUR rules, of don't vote on the 6th day. I never did, you just rewarded yourself for bullying someone. You are trash
@grumpycat compliance is 3.5 days for post age. Just remember to check for @grumpycat compliance seal.
Don't care. His behavior, especially the ridiculous sized selfvote, is far more detrimental to the platform than anything I have ever done. If he "cared for the platform", he would have tried to contact me or make me aware of the situation. I didn't even know this "compliance" shit was happening. Maliciously downvoting an account just because they used a specific bot is terrible. "Hurt the customer to damage the business". By not taking a few moments to actually LOOK AT the accounts he is flagging, he is doing far more harm than good. And regardless of the rules he is imposing on the rest of us, there is NO EXCUSE to abuse the reward pool by self voting a bullshit comment to 163 dollars.
That doesn't help the platform, that is just him lining his own damn pockets like a selfish prick, while telling me and my support project that I don't deserve rewards? My post that he flagged is far more worthy of his 163 dollar UPVOTE than it is deserving of a flag. There is no excuse for this behavior. Not to mention the fact that as a good steemian, knowing he doesn't deserve that much rewards, I had to use my voting power to flag his comments. He doesn't deserve hundreds of USD for saying "rubbing it in", and by forcing me to downvote him, he is further harming the platform by removing my ability to spread rewards to people who actually DO deserve them. As I have said, I understand what he is trying to accomplish with the voting bots, but his method and how he is going about it is all wrong....
Let's not forget the fact that this fucking douche uses the very same bot that he is telling people not to use. So what, ONLY grumpycat is allowed to use that bot, why, so he can pay pennies for huge upvotes, and no one else will bid on that upvote for fear of getting downvoted? How is that good for the platform. This is most certainly a bigger form of abuse than anything I have done.

First Second Place prize!
Awesome, thank you very much, @robileo also took the opportunity to thank me in my own post, this is the first time it happened, also I told him if he needs any help about literally anything or any questions that he can get back to me or you, since I didn't get the impression of him looking at you like a bible of advises, rather than just a contest-maker. I don't know why though.
This is Anthony. He looks ready to take on the world and bring the light of cryptocurrency to everyone through Steemit SNS.
