Well I do take it personally as it effects my reputation. Choosing to not opt of payment was my choice and having bots vote on this post is not my problem, if people are running bots that do not work well, ( as in do not check if the post has a spam tag) then they should prolly fix them. This is not the purpose of a flag, I would suggest that you reread what the purpose of a flag is.

There is a significant amount of debate going on about the downvote feature, that became a flag. I'd invite you to to read some of the debate if it interests you. https://steemit.com/steem/@dwinblood/voting-the-ups-the-downs-the-smiles-the-frowns Essentially, the upvote downvote relies on game theory to even out the rewards pool. The current purpose of the flag, may well return to what it was orginally, a simple downvote.

I am well aware of the debate however none of this has actually been implemented as such it remains an attack and I take it as such. Care to discuss this on https://www.steemspeak.com

I don't see much being achieved by moving the conversation to another platform. I understand you wish to take offense. That is your right to do as a free thinking person. I wish you well in your endeavor.
