SmartSteem didn't opt out, they stopped maintaining it as they no longer ran a bid bot and anti-abuse wasn't their primary objective.

@Smartsteem by so doing took a noble decision. Do you still run a bid bot? If not, why do you still have people like @Majes.tytyty on your list? Malice is the only answer that comes into my head.

I remember you all spamming me over and over across multiple accounts.

You call the voice of genuine community members "spammers"? Is this different from Sun who calls the elected witnesses " hackers"? Well, it is your blacklist the same way Steemit is Sun's you guys can do anything you like with it. Regards sir.
