Hello. It was nothing personal. It was bidbotting of the post rewards which goes against the spirit of the EIP

It's not bidbotting i am supporting EIP too and I used promotion service which is non-profitable . I didn't get any profit for buying upvote and I did to do that for promote my contest and get more visibilty & participators.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't make you a profit. What matters is the drain on the reward pool for everyone else by you purchasing votes. It goes against all that the EIP stands for. If it is promotion then you shouldn't profit from it so there shouldn't be an issue?

Also you used BDVOTER

I quote - UPVOTE & Post Age [ 5 minutes to 3 days ] ! UPVOTE ROI ~ 200%

ROI implies return on investment. So no profit, you say??

So you mean promoting a contest to get more visibility is wrong ?? thats zero profit and if you buy under 20 steem curve post you will get even lower . I spend 28 steem to promote that and got 24.5 steem worth upvote.(after curation cut)

It's not promotion. It's buying votes for ROI

Buying votes harms the Steem Ecosystem in general, please don't do it.

Also that's 24.5 steem that could have gone to non vote buying content creators

Post Age [ 5 minutes to 3 days ] ! UPVOTE ROI ~ 0% It's not buying votes for ROI. I did that for get more visibility & if you look at the participation on my previous one you will see the participators number and even i did talk with ocdb team about it, they said it's ok to use non-profitable bot for promote your post.

Also you got a ten dollar vote so you are being disingenuous if you are claiming that you dont make ROI on that for sending 20 odd steem

If you truly know what the EIP is about perhaps decline payout on your botted posts or burn the rewards like others.

I don't really believe that OCDB said that either. OCDB do not agree with buying votes. Not buying votes for profit just buying votes. Look at this quote from them...

The downvote you received is to discourage the buying of votes from bidbots. We kindly invite you to join us on the #NewSteem attitude, where good content receives votes and the organic content get the most attention. Buying votes hurts you, other authors and the Steem Ecosystem in general, please don't do it.

It doesn't say. Hey but buying votes for promotion is ok.

And again. TEN DOLLAR VOTE?! for 28 steem, no ROI?
