RE: @sweetsssj is the largest abuser of last minute upvotes!
@berniesanders you should make a bot like randowhale (or make it bid based) where people can buy a flag but also have it so that delegators get a percentage of the profits received from transactions. You could also add a list of users that are blacklisted from being flagged by it (like say your accounts) or something. just an idea!
I'm considering going that route, I've been hesitant to up to this point but we're almost there.
I had thought about doing it but I do not have the infrastructure in order to run it and have a constant uptime etc.
Please make the Flagging bot so at least new users can pay back whales who are abusing their power. I for one have a few on my list
i dont wanna name but, have u seen 5-10 post of same member on the trending page? also doesnt show face in any of the post. @berniesanders
Flagging this reply:
-abuse of your multiple sock puppet Steemit accounts used to upvote yourself
-unmerited rewards that you upvoted to yourself
No one would use this bot. It literally burns money.
What profits would there be? Transactions? Do you understand how any of this works?
Profits is a bad term in this case since you will not be making money. Minimizing losses is probably the closest to what he meant.
The transaction that he is referring to is the buying of the flag. It would technically be a service one is buying so transaction is a proper term for it.
He could have worded it better, yes, but for you to act like he doesn't understand how this works falls on your lack of understanding what he was trying to say.
Maybe the people with large amounts of voting power might but there are some of us that do not have the voting power to fight abuse as much as we want and would be willing to use some of our SBD to actually help fight abuse.
My vote, for instance, is worth ~$0.26 (dependent on value of steem and how much is in the reward pool) and so when I see someone comment 13 times on one of my posts and each one gets upvoted to over $1 (and they are absolute spam shitposting) and I can't do anything to fight it, yeah I would pay to have that sh!t flagged.
As for transactions, a transaction doesn't cost money but buying a flag for someone elses post would definitely earn money, you know how many people I have heard talk about something like this? Asking if such a thing existed? Like I think your ~$40,000 USD account and rep of 70 has you sitting up on a high horse not realizing what its like for the little guys.
Profits recieved from transactions is if I send 1 SBD to the bot then it has a debit of 1 SBD ergo profit, say 100 people buy a flag with an average of 4 SBD a flag (400 SBD) then maybe the delegators would get say 50% of that split between them and the bot keeps the other 50% (just how randowhale and most other vote bots split it)
It is, by definition, profits. So I do not know what you are implying but I think you have a lack of understanding on how steem works.
