I thought you are powering down? I have dealt with @patrice and she is SOLID, and was very honorable when I asked to remove a flag (which she did). I was using improper tags, and she was kind enough to remove the flag.
I would go onto steemit.chat and reach out before you power down. Sometimes we don't know the policing methodology on Steemit. FYI if you invested 500K in STEEM your self votes would be a problem like some of the bigger whales here.
-clear it up first before leaving. Just my two cents.
@patrice said this giveaway is spam. The wheel of Fortune would be spam to this person. They did not remove the flagging bot but instead when I said I was thinking to buy more steem they hit me with a 1,200,000 down voting bot. The people at the top are trash! How else can you explain down voting someone for a giveaway?
I think they want to concentrate on more of a blogging platform rather than a giveaway platform. With that being said, I only wish you success in all of your endeavors. I worked my way up from ZERO without buying any STEEM. If I had 500K I would have to be responsible with it. There are many whale/flag wars and it can be avoided if you learn the unofficial rules. I get it though, you want freedom to do what you want.
