Thanks for the honest and wise reply.

I really agree with you. I also know what its like to be targeted by the whales :)

Everyone has a right to upvote anyone they agree with on rewards. That is if they feel a post deserves greater rewards they should up vote it.

If ANYONE feels a post deserves less rewards they should downvote it. This is the pure and simple foundation.

I downvote posts that use bidbots simply because I do not feel a post that purchased votes deserves this vote as it was ill gained.

BUT ... The bot ignores all such posts as long as they allow the bot to post a summary about the paid votes, this is a massive compromise. This means the bot hands out grace, not retaliation.

Deliberator has been taken off the auto select list for the moment.
