Sneaky Ninja does not fund spam or abuse in anyway and is in no way irresponsible. This cat is simply a theif, stealing your money as well as so many others. Not to mention raping the reward pool heavily in the process. This rule of his is not real. It is simply his way of covering up the massive reward pool rape he is conducting on our platform.
In fact, if you would like to see what steps Sneaky Ninja has taken to fight bid bot abuse see this post and this post. There is also much more being done behind the scenes right now.
@sneaky-ninja is a very responsible bot. This is simply slander to hide all of his ill gotten gains.
Well, the sad part is that it doesn't matter - the cat has fire power and can act as a bully (a bit like the orange-haired guy with a big red button). Therefore, when in doubt, one is better off avoiding the sneaky-ninja and aksdwi bots - why take a risk with the cat ?
There is this African proverb I like a lot: "When elephants do battle, it is the grass that gets trampled ..."
As the cat's paws spread damage and respected members of the community (such as @teamsteem) advise, even if implicitly, not to mess with the cat, I suppose you'll see less and less bids on the sneaky ninja bot ... why take risks with my hard-earned SBD if the boost from sneaky ninja attracts the attention of the cat ?
So probably you'll be better off re-configuring your bot to not allow bids for articles older than 3,5 days just as the cat wants ...
Or you can sue the cat ... yeah, I thought so ...
I get your point.
Just giving you the real info is all.
And yes, with proper identity I could sue him actually. So could many others.
Going to 3.5 days actually takes the abuse responsibility off of bot owners and puts it directly onto the community who do not have the manpower to stop it.
It basically makes all those compliant look good while the problem is still rampant and nothing is being done about it.
If I follow you, you should then be able to explain how does sneaky-ninja avoid funding spam and abuse ?
What steps do you take to prevent people publishing crap articles and then paying the sneaky-ninja bot to upvote them ?
If you can explain that credibly maybe even the cat will stop doing what he does ?
Ya know, I thought that to but it never mattered. Most of what I do to combat it is behind the scenes. However I have made several things public. Here are 2 big steps with plenty more to come:

Hey, that is great ! I quickly skimmed over the first one of your posts because I have to run and I can say: you need not be a "sneakyninja" because sneaky rings "untrustworthy" and from your thoughtful article I feel you are a rather straightforward and trustworthy guy !
Keep up the good work, Michael ! I'll come back to read your posts when I find a bit more time !
Yea i guess you are right. The name came from an old fried at a party running around jumping on things yelling sneaky ninja actually lol.
In the beginning I would find undervalued posts that were approaching payout and give them big upvotes to brighten their day. Leaving a comment saying "sneaky ninja attack!" So that I guess was kind of sneaky lol.
I guess it's more just that ninja's have to be sneaky.
Well at least @grumpycat is powering down. Late this week he'll go from 97K to 3K and thus as a small kitty won't be able to bully effectively anymore.
Curious what he plans to do with @madpuppy.
One has to believe that his intentions are rather positive but his tactics leave a lot to be desired.
Maybe the @madpuppy will act less irresponsibly than the cat.
