RE: Introducing: Stem Assistant - No more wasting VP on science content thieves.
Our discord states the following:
- If bidbots were used on the post, there will be no steemSTEM vote. Already given votes might be withdrawn if abuse is detected.
- Usage of minnowbooster and qurator are accepted, if the bought votes stay inside reasonable boundaries (a 100 SBD vote for example is not acceptable).
The two accepted ones are, I believe, because we intimately know their trustworthy efforts to blacklist users effectively themselves, working hard to avoid spam and abuse of their services.
If we can easily filter them out that would be pretty cool!
Hey, thanks for the reply.
I think there are a number of Bots trying to manage abuse, it's a tough ask though as you can imagine.
Perhaps a limit to 1 bot, or a limit to the amount, would be clearer than 'reasonable boundaries'?
A list of bots could be gathered reasonably quickly. But with the vote selling services the votes can come in from anyone who's delegated, and so that is much tougher to track.
The application would need to check wallet sends to see if bids had gone out for the post. It's work for the Dev, but not impossible.
The early signs are promising to me :)
