it seems to me that you and that infernal cat have decided that 3.5 days is the cut off for using the bots?
No, i did not decide.
In order to not receive a flag you need to set up the bot to not allow bids after 3.5 days. Which is why I write:
"I feel this would not happen if you changed your policy to 3.5 days."
I'm not sure about crab bucket, i'm thinking more chicken and egg.
You would have not received a downvote if the bot had changed it's policy. I assume you were not aware of the @grumpycat?
Imagine how many others aren't? Yet @sneaky-ninja and other bots continue to risk the post values of others, why?
a) because it is costing them nothing
b) because they lack the coding skills to change the bot
Allowing bids for post which risk being downvoted is like selling faulty lighters. 'One in ten will set fire in your pocket'
I don't understand why you are defending a Bid-bot that risked you being flagged. But that is your choice, as it is @grumpycats to flag any post for any reason.
Steemfest 3, I hope so.
because what he is doing is harming steemit.
because no one user can set rules for all of us without at least discussing his ideas with us.
because it is about freedom. letting him do this is actually giving up your freedom on this platform. if we let him take it this time what is next? We can't let whales just make rediculous demands like he is doing. Even if his intentions were pure his actions are far worse abuse than what he claims to be helping.
They are his rules, just like I have my own rules on what content I vote/don't vote/flag.
@sneaky-ninja's rules mean that unaware content creators are receiving needless flags. Much larger Bidbot owners have changed their policy, and I wont change my opinion in that ALL Bidbot owners should seek to protect users, and not their ego.
