RE: Bots upvoting posts? An investigation
For a completely different perspective on bots checkout this...

One thing is for certain we need a botowner code of conduct and to have the bots have leashes like a pet. Don't think we'll ever be rid of them though, but perhaps we can make them into something more useful by incentivizing the good bots and drawing away the mindshare away from grief bots into something useful.
I would love to have you stop by and give me
I saw your post, it's really good! Bots certainly have their utility and are part of Steemit. But here we are talking about bots which are just causing disorder.
Oh you missed the point I meant by solution...
Just start adding #STEEMBOTSTAY to the body of your posts. As we get the botbuilders united around this concept of leashing, the bots will stay out of where they aren't wanted. STEEMBOTS is providing a better financial incentive to builders that want to play along so you can expect this problem to resolve itself soonish.. Just add the tag and it will start clearing up.
Thanks, I'll definitely add that tag from the next post. :
I also received 1 minute more than 40 empty upvote.
Mind sending them over to some of my posts?
