I've been trying to involve myself in steemit and get myself up to date on most discussions and topics that goes on. I'm far from a place where I know everything at all, but even with my meager knowledge a lot of things feels wrong on steemit these days, and this is just one of those topics.
It's absurd that certain accounts can operate as random boogey men flagging people they don't think follow their own code of conduct just because they can. I'm using bit bots myself as a way to increase my SP in a more interactive way than just buying them on blocktrades, since I usually go about break even on SBD return and then get a slice of SP on top of that and that feels good to me. I put a lot of time into my long posts but I usually don't have more than a few views so it's also a good way to get exposure..
I agree that bid bots has gone out of control but random vigilantes trashing the account of honest users aren't really the answer to that problem, at least not without some kind agreement with the rest of the community.
Oh well, this is starting to become a rant in the rant and that wasn't the purpose really :) Don't let this bring you down man, I really feel you are above this petty behavior
