Hey, do you just flag without explaining? Is there any warning? Or is it shoot first ask questions later?

Why do you want to stop people from buying upvotes at the last moment? (assuming the post is substantial and not spam)

Is there a way to combat the actual bot itself vs targeting potentially unsuspecting users of the bots...

Also based on the way the blockchain / Steemit is set up (and since bots are allowed to exist...) does it make sense to flag someone for using the service at the last moment as opposed to flagging shitty* content or spam? Shitty could be spammy posts, no citations, etc., vs subjectively shitty content.

Wouldn’t it be better (albeit more work) to try to enlighten someone instead of punish them first? If you use the above without the initial flag you could still upvote yourself and use it as a way to try and teach users how you think they should behave, as an initial warning...? I don’t know how easily that could be automated into a bot.

Thoughts?

I’m prob not the first person to suggest this so excuse any redundancy and if you could link me to somewhere that you might’ve explained this before that’d be appreciated too. Thanks
