Yay. I never bought bidbot votes, stopped self-voting after 3 months on the platform completely. Then reggaemuffin thinks one time it'd be fun to have an April Fools joke on trending and drops a ton of money and that's the moment people choose to start cleaning up trending.
Not asking you to withdraw your flags, it's your right and I expected them to come sooner or later when the votes came rolling in. I'm just slightly annoyed by the whole thing.
Hey @suesa, using this tool, It recognised that I organically voted for your post, and it excluded it from my downvote barrage. Not that my voting power counts for much, but yours was a post genuinely enjoyed!
Thanks and thanks for letting me know! I'm mostly a bit worried that this is going to harm my reputation (both the numerical and the one in the community) a bit. That's my main concern here. Not like I can do anything about it though.
I think the problem could be solved (or made worse) if bid bots refused upvotes for people voting for their own content. (And kept the money, to ensure that the next upvote for a genuine piece of content would be even greater) - the only problem is people pay x to pay y to pay the bid bot to vote for themselves.
Yeah. People will always find a way to cheat the system.
I agree that you give downvote to an article that is not of quality like a memes or a short publication that does not take any effort .. and that has abused the service of the bidbots. Tell me who is interested in seeing a memes in trend?
You never bought bidbot votes ...
... yet, your main supporter is a major vote-broker :D
I think I kind of get the joke ... I am glad the flags only slightly annoyed you.
Can I pick my voters? :P didn't know I can choose who likes my content.
I mean, I can't do anything against the flags anyway, no use getting more than a bit annoyed. Can't turn of the annoyed completely tho.
