A newbie's guide to raping the reward pool and draining it for genuine bloggers

This is why we can't ever have nice things.

About a month ago, the user @fabien released a bot to help the community known as @promoted. The purpose of this bot was simple: It would up vote you every time you promoted your post. It was a really nice initiative that was aimed at promoting the use of promotion (Yea I said it). Unfortunately we had some hungry, selfish minnows that didn't want to help their entire colony grow but rather exploit the generosity of this platform and steal the profits while affecting the earnings of genuine and hard-working bloggers. @fabien @promoted I would like to request that if possible, all of these users be unvoted/downvoted again to remove those rewards? I will be explaining exactly how a specific group of users exploited the shit out of the reward pool and are still at large.

As I said before, the bot @promoted was supposed to upvote you every time you promoted your post. Unfortunately the creator added a condition in which even promoting your post with 0.01 SBD would make it liable for an upvote by this bot (This has been patched now). @fabien did this because he genuinely wanted to help the people. I don't think even he knew that people would take advantage of something as generous as that....

Each upvote by that bot got the user 0.09 SBD. Now assuming the user got this upvote after 30 minutes, that would still get the user about 0.035 SBD and 0.03 SP for every post. A pretty neat profit right? Unfortunately some people realized this and decided to exploit this by spamming the blockchain with plagiarized content and useless comments and getting them all upvoted by this bot.

Below is a list of just a few users accused of commiting this crime. I have also gone ahead and taken pictures to prove some of them guilty just so you get an idea of how badly these people exploited this bot:

I would like to point out that all the rewards for these people from all of this exploitation will be due in 2 days (You will see that in a minute) and I would like to request any and all whales who take care of the spammers and scammers in this community to look into these guys. I noticed that @sadkitten / @personz took care of 2 of the accounts (which I haven't added on the list) so hopefully he/she can take care of these spammers and scammers as well.

I will try my best to get a list of all the comments/posts that were upvoted by these users in a different post. However, I do not have the tools to do this efficiently :/

I will be posting the proof on a few of these users one by one:
