Hey there! I have a question. Back in the old days (before the fork) experiments like upvotebank and coindoubler were OKAY to use and no downvotes took place because of them. How come things have changed? Who authorized that bots should downvote minnows who use those programs?

I'm just curious. I used to be on steemit 2017-2018 and I recently found my keys, and found my post downvoted because I had upvotebank autherized. Also, who removes the downvote after deauthorizing. And why is there so many rules here. It used to be a site about freedom.
