I agree with @watson's assessment and I believe this is not the first time you had been flagged for excessive overvaluation of your content using bots. Why not give it a rest and try out organic support for a while instead of giving your bot buddies kick backs?
If you don't get support, perhaps it is partially because you have alienated yourself from people by your extreme self-rewarding behavior? I think that would have a tendency to turn people away from you tbh.
Furthermore, I would venture to say that it is not "negative comments" (or what normal people call criticism) that are the cause of downward pressure on price more than users like you using bots to extract as much rewards from the pool using least effort.
You are barking up the wrong tree as the last time I reported it was @nolimit909 way back when.
The kind of posts your contests promote has been mentioned multiple times in abuse fighting groups. There are a few bot owners around so reckon they made a decision after seeing it again.
Can you really blame them considering they take heat from the public when they see their services are being used for abuse? What exactly did you do to remedy the situation when it was first brought to light?
Maybe I can talk to them but not really inclined at the moment on account if you being less than cordial in the last few replies.
If you think I am one of the main people reporting then you really don't see the whole scope of things. I reported 3 or 4 articles in the past week. While steemflagrewards often gets 20+ articles reported daily.
I actually enjoy your current behavior. It really shows what you are able to do because someone took... Let me calculate 0.014$ from you :D
The final thing I would like to mention is that flagging on steem should be normal behavior. If you don't like something you should be free to down vote it. This is why Steemit has actually moved from calling it a flag to a simple down vote. Down votes are something that keeps people with bot accounts or spam posts in check. Imagine there was no downvote feature. It would be total anarchy.
Thanks for showing your full colors man. Steem is great cause what once happened on the blockchain stays on the blockchain.
Thanks for your support and comment.
Some people says it is bid bot abuse, but How this is abuse?
These wedding pics are more than many dollars. You can think your way, it is your right. I have no objection for downvote and comments, but if you advertise this i have objection. So, Please don't advertise this, that this is abuse. It is your thoughts.
Your always welcome here. Thanks.
I think posting a few snapshots of wedding decoration every day is generally fine... but promoting each of those posts to about $100 every day, too... that's shamelessly farming for ROI with minimized effort.
I feel it is obligatory to draw some attention to it and minimize your ROI on this as far as possible.
Add in the fact they are not even his photographs. We been down this road before, he uses other photographers images he has no license to use in this manner and profits from it.
The pictures are bad enough (although that's ultimately a matter of taste I guess) that I didn't even bother to check, I just figured he's probably working for catering at these events or something along those lines?!
I again say this the view of some people. Becasue of this negative approach towards to platform, steem price has negative impact on market price. Why anyone here? Why are you and me here?
Please, think over it. Don't do negative publicity, it is not in anybody's favor/interest. Everyone want's steem price on the moon, but if we do like this, people are seen and mindset has develop about the platform and steem price on moon is not possible. Do some positive development on platform and take your energy towards steem on moon.
For me, that's it. Now, it is upto you. what you want from this platform? I can't say anymore. I understand your concern. Thanks for listen and understand the matter.
That's something I'll wholeheartedly disagree with you on.
In my opinion, it is the fact that people like yourself can farm this blockchain for easy rewards without contributing any value to the network that's exerting downwards pressure on the price.
So pointing out things like your self-rewarding behavior, making it harder for people like yourself to keep doing what they are, that's something that STEEM needs more in order to remain valuable and relevant.
If it would be that easy to earn tokens and gain reputation on the platform, what value does it even have then?
Please elaborate, how exactly does that make me a hypocrite?! I fail to see any contradiction between my perspective on the economics of steem and my activities on the platform.
I'm open to criticism, though, so I'd appreciate if you could help me understand where you are coming from.
screw you john he actually went out in the field took more than 1 picture moved them on to a computer choose the ones he wanted cropped them and wrote a post...
your wrong...
this is worth way more than writing 1000 words or printimg a chart....
I have no clue what @richatvns is so riled up about actually, you probably know more about that than me.
But, after some more digging and talking to the original culprit here. I must confirm he actually works as a wedding planner and has 1st hand access to the primary source of those images. He might even have taken them himself.
Doesn't change the fact that $100 rewards every day for posting extremely generic pictures from a venue/event catalogue is way over the top.
@mehta is dominating several trending pages for the tags he uses with this ... stuff

Hmmm maybe that has something to do with it. 🤔

Mr. Davis,
you are a piece an absolute piece of %#$@^.
You place me the runner of a contest on the blacklist for other individuals using bidbots.
I am going to find out where you live and use every legal remedy at my disposal to get the correct retribution against you.

SAYS HYPOCRITE WHO HASN'T PUT A BLOG POST IN OVER A YEAR.
OR CONTRIBUTED ANYTHING USEFUL EXCEPT ATTACK OTHERS!!

I'm sick of you trolls attacking people..
your driving people off the blockchain
get alife...
YOU HAVEN'T POSTED A BLOG POST IN OVER A YEAR!!!
YOU PRODUCE NO CONTENT FOR THE BLOCKCHAIN!
ALL YOU DO IS ATTACK PEOPLE FOR BOUNTIES!
Apparently those aren't even his pictures, though!
And what does all this have to do with whether or not I have written any posts myself lately?!
Because everyone needs to be a content creator. /s
Especially overvalued meme posts that says to other actual creators “fuck you!”
Oh, don’t forget the part where they can’t do their own research before jumping into a fray.
