Added 15 bots for the utopian-io.js
Done adding another 15 bots on utopian-io.js bot list.
Since our beloved utopian is a jealous bot and more of us know about this. we should be aware that using bots are not a good idea and will be penalized once use.
Utopian Bot is Jealous
This is funny. The Utopian bot is jealous and does not really like other bots. This is why you will be penalised a little bit if Utopian detects bot votes on your contribution. While bot votes may be good to help minnows on general matters, for Utopian they really don't work, because on Utopian you don't write about the steak you just cooked, but about the hard work you made for contributing to Open Source projects.

since the bot making an additional reward to contributors when they have more upvotes. its really unfair for those not using bots. penalizing those bots user is right. so they will not use any voting bots and they will be encourage to make a quality contribution and got an upvote from a real readers not from bots.
I also make sure and study that the above bots I added are really bots.
they were use to boost a new user but in utopian we dont encourage contributors to use a bots like this.
you can also check the list of bots that I entered comment here if you feel that the bot on the list is not should be there.

i was having issues where my posts were flagged as having bot votes when they don't. what criteria are being used to discern whether an account is a bot or not?
also, what is to stop people from limiting the effectiveness of utopian by paying very small amounts to bots to get them to vote on 'competing' utopian posts so that they can then earn more from their own utopian posts?
if a user pays 5 cents get a cheap, blacklisted, bot to vote on 100 utopian posts, then there will be more payout for the 1 post that didn't get voted on.
@ura-soul we encouraging people to have a true reader follower and upvoter of their post. so using bot is not helpful at all. this way contributors will give a quality contribution. :)
you are missing my point here. i am talking about the way that the utopian bot can be exploited by people paying for bots to upvote other users of utopian.
if the mods has proven it that way. @elear has a power to revote the post to make it fair. @ura-soul :)
Hey @ruah I am @utopian-io. I have just super-voted you at 25% Power!
