RE: [Urgent Announcement] @steemhunt will exclude all bid bot upvoted hunts
Thanks for the update. What happens if a post has been "bid bot voted" by someone else than its author ?

Great question, would love to get that answered. People can just bidbot all other posts made that day to remove the competitions to get on top. Maybe one way to get things to work is to only count votes made on the steemhunt website. Votes made elsewhere else doesn't get counted. Just my idea, hopefully the creators have a better solution than me.
That's exactly the potential outcome I had in mind. Thankfully, they just said they will also check that the bot votes come from the author !
Yup, but they already have 80+ posts coming in a day, its going to be some hard work for the mods. I wish they come up with something so that mods don't have to go look through everything. And what about alt accounts, I own like 5 accounts, what if I just buy a vote from one of my other accounts and say that I don't own the account?
Well they could automate that process but I guess it's good enough considering it will only last two weeks. As for the alt accounts, I hadn't thought about that actually. I don't see any solution to that problem sadly but it should matter less once the ABV system is in operation.
Sadly enough no system will be perfect. Even the Steem whitepaper covers abuse and mentions that it can not be prevented.
But trust that we are constantly watching what happens and will try to design and maintain a system which minimizes abuse as much as possible. Any system will be constantly monitored and tweaked where required.
It is at the end as mentioned temporary as the ABV is in full development mode and the time is needed to implement it. Until then the mods will have a lot more to do to deep check it and yes after looking what the mods are doing, it will be a a lot of work :) Chill out~
That will be implemented once we have the ABV ranking system, @rishi556. Then only upvotes from whitelisted (3 hunts submitted previously) will be counted.
we're doing this process manually by our mods (checking their wallet transactions, etc), so this edge cases can be handled.
Hi Tabris, how do you Steem holders qualify for the airdrop?
Cheers
Thanks for the clarification !
