I have tried everything but no one pays attention. The downvote power is one of the main problems. I have been fading away here. I think it's useless. But there is always hope...
I have been hanging in for a long time. I hope you're right. I'm sick of being ignored. I was doing a status course here, btw, but got so much bs I moved it to my own blog. Oh well.
But you are free not to follow the BS.
Posts promotet by bidbot is nothing else but "paid advertisement". And if someone spent money to promote his work he should have the right to ban unwanted bots spamming the comments.
The blacklist was a good step in the right direction but flag people who use is definitely abuse of the flag option.
You are a hypocrite, you are downvoting my posts for opting out of your service I never asked for in the first place, you are downvoting my posts at 7 days so they can not be recovered, posts I have not used a bidbot on, I use a bidbot once a week to make sure I have money for the $1 a day charity I contribute to. you run around upvoting your own comments with multiple accounts whilst trying to show everyone the error of their ways, you are taking curation rewards from my voters.
You need to see doctor, or psychiatrist more like.
You if you support him show even less insight, taking votes off a 7 day old post of someone like me, that contributes "all" of my earnings on here to charities, is beyond stupid, and if you support that, then I pity you.
My charity? a bribe? 11% of the sp is all that is in bidbots on this site, and me spending "my own" money on one, is your business why, and I have a stake on here, and bigger than yours, how is this "your neighbourhood" ?
Steemit is the most transparent shit I've ever seen! Everyone is able to follow every single transaction, comment or vote.
Maybe for some people those bidbots are a problem but the most annoying problem is the spamming on posts one spent money to promote them.
If you REALLY think the kind of service is useful (the people see it AFTER they read the posting - not before) you might design a browser-extention for firefox or chrome is exactly your strategy.
You might open the post to check the votes or follow the transaction in the blockchain. Just compare the the link people hit (or found in the html as a link) to your list of perm_links got from transaction and add something like "promoted with $$$xxx) after the link.
So everybody is free in decision to use it or not!
And the people see your information BEFORE they open a link. Not after they read it!
Here you can see what it's like to fight the bot @transparencybot. Its programmer @bycoleman gives it a flag. I just hope everyone's doing business with @bycoleman changes that. revokes his bot from all delegated SP. Defend yourselves and mark all his contributions !
I'm being threatened because I don't want any messages from his bot.
Ok, that wasn't my question. People buy x steem or 0 steem, come to the platform, get bullied, leave, sell x steem or 0 steem. How does that drive the price down?
Also downvoting someoneine in the last 12 hours the worst form of bullying here and i get a sense you do that.
HoweverSo, I haven't really checked in on whats been going on with you lately @bycoleman / @transparencybot, but I just want you to know that I've just looked through your latest activity and these last few posts, and I'm disappointed with the fact that you downvote people who opt out of your "service". I have been regularly using the #nobidbot tag because I share in your vision for community and quality curation as opposed to runaway bidbot usage. , your comments on people's posts were not requested, and your flagging of people's work once they opt out of your comments is unnecessary and irresponsible. I admire your projected dedication to integrity and community, but I find your actions hypocritical. I see that you're ending this project, so you may not see this comment or may not care, but I thought I'd leave it anyways. I have yet to decide if I'll be using the #nobidbot tag in the future. All things considered, I still agree with its premise. It's unfortunate to see this petty battle here on Steemit, I don't quite know what else to say. Peace to all parties, and Steem on, I suppose!

Bad Steemian! Bad!@transparencybot you're on the @abusereports naughty list for being a super douche!

Taken from my friends who I invested my time in and now they are just as weak as when I first met them. You show lack of insight.
You if you support him show even less insight, taking votes off a 7 day old post of someone like me, that contributes "all" of my earnings on here to charities, is beyond stupid, and if you support that, then I pity you.
Earnings taken from my neighborhood. I hope your charity is happy.
How is it your neighbourhood? I give it to the $1 a day on here that @pennsif runs, it goes worldwide, and your problem is?
That your charity thinks they got money from your talent when it really just was a bribe.

Thats easy stuff - you've done on a weekend.
How will bullying cause steem price to crash? Bidbots may cause steem price to crash as it is easy to promote crap and users may leave seeing that.

If you fight back then all accounts of @bycoleman come and give you a flag. But he doesn't seem to have much:)
