RE: Altered my steemvoter (curation=mining) account in preparation for HF 19
A thing or two before you use steemvoter:
They will use your post key to upvote their own posts without your consent.
Altering the settings will disable the rule you alter. So if you reduce from 100% to 25% in one rule, it will disable it. To fix this, change your rules till youre happy, reload the page and sort the rules by "Active" and enable them again.
When new users sign up this is very clearly explained in the Terms of Service that must be accepted before you can use the site (so you have to explicitly give your consent upon signup). It's basically the way that we get paid in exchange for providing such a valuable service to our users.
Thanks for pointing this out. We are aware there is a bug with altering rules that can cause them to become disabled. We will work on fixing this.
Another disclaimer I didn't read, ha? In all fairness, I didn't know what the fuck it was at the time. AND this is true for the majority of users. I don't mind it being used this way as long it's not ABUSED. I respect that for a service to work, someone has to get paid. I just found it odd that someone voted for something I didn't approve.
Sorry for any confusion caused, and we appreciate your concerns. We want to remain in good standing with the community and do our best to use these votes responsibly. The Steemvoter Guild vote is our way of giving back to the community by shining a spotlight on authors who deserve recognition but haven't necessarily been getting much of it. And we carefully regulate the voting power on our self payment posts to make sure our payments stay consistent and in line with overall rewards pool growth.
