If you are mentioned below, you have a free all-access pass to our blacklist. This is a pretty exclusive club, with many benefits, none of which are an upvote from us.
Fear not, you will not be alone.
All bids from these users will be rejected and will be used to fund efforts to make Steemit great again.

I would seriously doubt that any of the people who are calling into question your motivations for the blacklist have ever spent any time interacting with you on the chat servers or reading your witness posts. Those of us that have, know what you are about and fully support your efforts to clean up the massive amounts of garbage that gets upvoted by unscrupulous bot owners that either don't know or don't care what they are doing to the overall value of their own investment. Sorry, rant over. Keep on keeping on, sir!
I really want to join dengen you but I right not know Kek where join the club that can we learn I carany @buildawhale
hahahahaha😀👍 @buildawhale you made my day with this reply.
ROFL !!!! :-D
I must say that your post was not even comparable to the comment you got in-terms of the level of enjoyment :)
Lagi ajak serius ini
It's cool. I take you seriously.
Itu keren. Aku serius
?
just so you know, it's seeing whales post shit like this that make people want to leave steemit. not the spam. want to know why the price of steem can't seem to come back up with the rest of cryptos? this is it. this guy is simply asking about your services @buildawhale. What you just gave is called "bad customer service". What happens to companies that have bad customer service? yeah, think about it.
What you talking about, Steem is coming back faster than most any other crypto and in fact is 500% higher than it was months ago.
As for this like this, he spoke 80% English then some "Gibberish" and basically looked like a spammer. I deal with hundreds of messages a day, most of them are spam, a good portion is people complaining they didn't get a vote when they did, and a portion complaining they didn't get 500% ROI. About 5 out 100 are anything meaningful.
If you can see how it can be taken that way, you haven't been here long enough. Plus it was funny.
so your buildawhale?
yes, it is my project.
why don't you pay the % earned on a bid. I gave 10 STD and you send 0.0001
also I sent 3 STD another time and you sent nothing and I had a percentage gain each time. I'm new here as you know and this is not right unless you have a good answer
It's cool @akmal1. I don't think @buildawhale knows kek about which club to join either. Unfortunately our very ignorant friends are making fun of your English and don't understand that you're probably Indonesian.
Sayangnya teman-teman kita yang sangat bodoh mengolok-olok bahasa Inggris Anda dan tidak mengerti bahwa Anda mungkin orang Indonesia.
Ignorant because I don’t understand something that looks like English but some in an unknown language in there? Sorry I don’t speak every language on the planet. It was 80% English so figured it was some spam gibberish
All I had to do was go read his blog.
BTW, have you considered changing the algorithm for @buildawhale? I think instead of trying to maximize the number of bids made pr round, you could find a way to maximize the potential profit for each round. maybe by creating a type of bell curve in which bids made early and late in the voting round are granted less vote power from the bot than those in the middle? And by closing out bids once 50% (or at least less than 75%) of the bots total vote value has been reached? You can make it so such a bot only grants votes to posts made in the first 8 hours. Set the minimum bid to 5 SBD. Bye bye spammers. I think people would put bigger bids into such a bot, and would probably use it exclusively. hell, might force all the other bots to adopt a similar style. You know? Put the power back into the people kind of thing? maybe I'm myself ignorant of how these things work. but hey, thought I'd throw that out there.
As for this language thing, Steemit is international and people are going to have to find ways of getting past that. I used Google Translate. Love you @themarkymark.
I'm not going to google translate every comment especially one that is 80% English already or go read the blog of every comment. I get hundreds of comments a day. I read every one, but I'm not going to go to everyone's blog or translate things that look like English word salad. If it was a meaningful comment, I meant nothing by it, but I do what I can with the time I have.
Bots are already abused as cash machines, they are promotional tools, not cash registers. Where in the world do you expect someone to promote your product and give you all your money back and then some and your asking for 50% more?
I pay over $80,000 a week in Steem Power leases, I'm not going to take a loss so it can abuse it even more.
I have noticed a huge reduction in spam when I stopped sending things to SteemCleaners and just blacklisted the worst offenders.
I hear ya. You have a big job to do and I'm sure you're doing well at it. I'm not really trying to critique you, and to be fair I've studied afrikaans which actually shares similar words, and so I didn't find his comment to be "word salad". And I understand not everyone has time to read every blog, but I do feel that a lot of what happens on Steemit is just people upvoting only the content they think will give them the best curation. Unfortunately, while you fight spam on the back end, I find that there's an entirely different kind of spam right in the Trending category, where popular posts are only really made popular because large steem power holders are the only ones who can afford to properly pay bots to get their posts into that category. Everyone else just makes them even more popular, not because the content is "good", but because they are all fighting for the big curation reward that come from being the first to "discover". what a crock since anyone can actually create a bot or go to steemfollower and have their account automatically upvote such content. It's my opinion that if someone took a more "philanthropic" approach to an upvote bot people might find that there are indeed ways to "build a whale." I seriously believe none of these spam accounts that you fight would ever make it into the Trending category. And yet this is exactly where I feel I see the most "spam". Honestly. because there are no "angel investors", and because whales are busy concentrating their efforts on closing doors rather than opening them, overall I think this will hurt steemit in the end. IMHO
People are upset bots are used to promote garbage, I have tried to stop it since I started the project, but apparently doing it on the sidelines going through the supported means wasn't public enough. So I started a more aggressive and public approach.
Doesn't matter if he is on trending or not, he is diluting the value of Steem and creating even more bloat on the platform.
I can't deal with the abuse people like Sweetsssj's abuse as I have no power to do anything for that sort of abuse.
I can deal with things I have the power to do something about.
What's with the blacklist? It's so suspicious. Tsk tsk tsk.
It's preventing frauds like this from abusing Steemit and driving the price of Steem to $0.01. You may be happy with that, I am not.
Just so I know... what would call for a ban? Excessive use of the buildawhale voter?
Porn, Plagiarism, Abuse, any of those will you banned
We don't ban for porn or nsfw content. (unless it is stolen)
Plagiarism, Spam, Abuse, Fraud, Scam. I am very picky though, I need to be near 100% sure of it before I blacklist.
Why did you blacklist me? I want to know exact reason
Ok, thats good to know, I wanted to make sure that I wasn't doing something without knowing it was bad. thank you
dmania has become a platform to post "jokes" thats circulating via whatsapp and such messaging platforms. Just pointing out as it has become very difficult to deal with it. @indiaunited community has decided to avoid dmania completely from curation due to spam. Thought of mentioning it many of the videos posted are regional ones and for a person who is not familiar it will look original. Though not sure how to handle the solution.
Google has come up with a solution to auto delete junk whatsapp messages and I am thinking of somehow getting access to the API they are using internally and write a bot. Though no luck with the API / DB yet.
"And another one!"
Upvote my posting plaseeee
ON which bases you block these users?
Spam, Abuse, Fraud, one of the three.
He throws a sheet of paper with random user names on his bed... those that fall on the ground are banned!
Thor is very powerful hero
posting very interesting friends
I really like your post friends and your post is very good I am glad to be able to join you thanks steemit friends good for sharing interesting things I can learn from you
follow backUseful information for me, thanks good post. @buildawhale
I need friends ( icon smile )
You are going to refund them right? Can't you just reject and auto send back payments from those on the blacklist?
I appreciate the Bot blacklist very much. I like to use the voting bots, and the spammers give both the bot creators and the bot users a bad name.
Why? So they can go submit a bid it to another bot that doesn't care and continue to do it?
It goes to an account to fund efforts to stop spam and abuse.
@themarkymark, you are my guy atleast I voted you as a witness and I use your bot anytime I need one. Your job is commendable. Lets stop the stoppers. However, is there any law court that gives you permition to use these blacklisted people's money for the purpose you mentioned? Just asking???
There is no court law against it.
I think what they do with it after you refund it is out of your scope of Interest. Just one opinion. Anyway, I want to acknowledge that I appreciate the attitude of stopping the obvious abuses.
Some might even think it is a privilege to be included in that list.
Would be glad to assist you with identifying such accounts. However, is there any benefits for people like us who help you?
Genuine question
If you know abusers, send them over and I'll look it over.
Iam send you 3.000 sbd....
You no upvote me...
Help...tranfer sbd me...cek your history you i am tranfer 3.000 sbd
I am link https://steemit.com/animal/@giokaceh1992/jenis-muka-ayam-petarung
Iam send you 3.000 sbd, you no upvote me..
You've come on the post where your name is blacklisted and still want a vote? Now that's epic.
the op is a bot that mentions other bots/spammers that auto vote when their name is mentioned. Hence it gets the money from those bots.
uh what?
@buildawhale is my promotion bot. I publish the last 24-48 hours of blacklisted users we added to prevent Steemit going from 80% spam to 95%.
Prior I would just report them to SteemCleaners because they should be addressed with the system in place to prevent it (flagging) but there is just too much to deal with and having to flag against paid rewards makes it even harder.
nice :)
ROFL - this thread has made my day!
:All bids from these users will be rejected and will be used to fund efforts to make Steemit great again" sounds ponzi to me.
Why don't you take a moment and look at the list of users on the list? They are all spammers, plagiarists, or abusers.
@themarkymark. Thank's for protecting the community brother. I damn sure appreciate it. As a newbie its tough enough to learn all the available tools here without worrying about someone ripping you off. Props to you bro.
I am a newcomer from aceh. and I just follow you new today., and your upvote, I want you upvote if you do not mind
@themarkymark Realized my account has been blacklisted for not apparent reason, how can i move from the shame list. Thanks.
