To All Reward Pool Abusers...
I am creating a "rekt" list. I will be relentless and won't stop until your abuse stops.
This is your fair warning, continue at the cost of your own dime.

Awesome. You guys finally decided to join up.
Some good news.
@deathcross, @zaku, @chbartist havent posted in over a week and they were the biggest bot costumers and abusers on the platform. @majes.tytyty and @hatu got rekt recently so im sure they will get out of Dodge soon enough.
If you make it a big enough risk to buy votes.... people will start to avoid it, vote selling profits will drop and bid bot delegators will take back their delegations.
What is needed is CONSISTENCY which is why i hope this will be a continuous effort and not just a temporary occurrence.
Ive never seen the bids so empty
It's swinging back in the right direction. Some of these people may try sneakier methods, e.g. voting comments, but I'm sure smart people can spot those.
I just checked @deathcross and Im not sure why did you mention his name.
it's me again @lordbutterfly
I personally know @majes.tytyty and I consider him to be very valuable user on this platform. I hope you guys wont after him with downvotes.
I dont know about "the guys", i can only speak for myself but if i see him trend with bots again ill flag him for sure.

I hope all together we have enough free downvote mana to fight against bidbot, sock puppet alts and other.
Hey Dan!
I would really appreciate if you guys (you and @themarkymark) could put together what/who you are targeting with this rekt list. What is spam and what is abuse of the reward pool?
When I look back at my posts I'm really questioning if some of the stuff that I posted would be considered as spam. For instance I post a bunch of infosec posts (mostly declared as via so and so) on a regular basis because I found it important to raise awareness on infosec and privacy issues.
Would this be considered spam for instance?
Cheers!
No one can control spam if someone has RCs they can post all day. Earning is another thing. If you put up a low-value post and then use bid bots to promote it, that would leave you open to being downvoted. You are 100% in the clear, you don't spam nor do you abuse bid-bots.
When I get the chance I will make sure to make a clear list of who I downvote and for what reasons.
Thanks Dan! Much appreciated! Cheers!
This was pretty majestic today.
Got something I am working on to make it much easier.
I remember this. Watching it go below $1 was a nice moment.
Like looking at a beautiful sunset. Which post was this? I missed out on some fun!

Also demolished a few others, recharging my accounts for tomorrow.
Dan I am posting videos on 3speak every day, not copying anybody just having good (I think) 15 min videos but in my post I paste always the same discription. Because I want them to listen to me what I am saying not just read Contest and thats it. I is abuse or not. I am just asking so I can make some changes
If the videos are unique and not stolen, then I don't see any problems.
yea it is always new and uniqeu vid I am only one from my 2 countries who is doing crypto vid form my people in my language. Thx for answer
Why only now (after HF21) and not before?
The abuse of bidbots has already damaged the reputation of the community.
Because of New Steem. We didnt have free downvotes before.
Thank you for responding to my comment.
I was not expecting that.
Cool, you can start by monitoring the top accounts. Running only after the poor isn't really

Cheers,
this is an important message to all shitposters.
...and yet . . .
This could be the start of something good for Steem. I see people have already flagged a lot of junk posts on trending. This will free up rewards for the rest of us. Anyone buying votes needs to be confident their post is of appropriate quality. 3 lines and a photo will not be enough. Less self votes by big accounts would be nice too. They can earn better now from votes for other people.
