Unfortunately the bidbot owners who boosted their trash to the trending page are not assuming any responsibility and keeping their votes. It's ridiculous! Even though they're pretty aware of the abuse, they still don't do anything to act against it - because it would reduce their earnings.

You make a lot of assumptions that are very far from the truth, I can't speak for other owners but I know my situation.

I got the report on it but I can't just remove votes because I don't like something. I very rarely remove votes, it has to black and white abuse or plagiarism and it has to be very bad for me to actually remove votes. I have received your report as well as others and I will look into it when I get to go through my queue.

I've skimmed the post but I haven't done enough research yet to make a decision. These things don't happen immediately when you request it, and there is no guarantee anything will happen. I get 100 messages a day and I can't deal with everything right away. I log it and then go through it when I am doing research. Most decisions are extremely difficult and subjective.

If you are asking me to remove a vote, I am going to take time and decide if it is appropriate and the right call to do. I'm not going to just go removing votes because someone complains about a post. Losing money would be the least of my problems if I responded as careless as that.

That being said, it's not like they made money on the post. They spent 680 SBD and will make around 485 SBD as of right now.
