RE: Help me flag @iamgrootbot !!!
The harm comes in the self-upvoting of content that is absolutely pointless. The rewards pool is finite, meaning that it is not infinite. Stealing from that steals from the community. Flagging returns ill-gotten gains to the rewards pool for more appropriate distribution.
I agree @matt-a... mostly my point here was that things like Groot and "I only say meep" are just "quirky and weird," while an army of copied "Nice Post, please upvote and follow me, here's my latest post" comments are what really needs to be buried.
Meep doesn't upvote itself, while Groot does. If Groot doesn't upvote itself, there's no problem, but since it does, it's a problem :-/.
Good point.
