This was a thing that happened to some users, so we took steps to mitigate it. We are glad that the users are vigilant about unauthorized use of their accounts and try to be as accountable as possible.
No one will be perfect, but we will improve with every feedback we get :) And pinging our staff will get you a quick response to any problem you might have with our services.
Flags on concerned users are not our style ;)
Very professional answer! By the way I love beta.steemvoter ;-)
Seriously respect @reggaemuffin
I think the problem, as @reggaemuffin pointed out, is one of transparency. I remember signing up for Utopian and Dtube and both of those took my votes and I only noticed the small print afterwards.
Anyway like you say, good to see these services thriving and good people like @reggaemuffin running them :-)

Utopian and Dtube 'took' your votes? Neither of those are a voting service, and utopian doesn't even have a log in, just a method to use tags.
Are you sure you have this right? If so, could you explain a bit more so I can understand and avoid whatever happened to you?
I can't remember exactly, however I remember something like a percentage of either my vote rewards or direct votes went to them as a way of paying server costs etc. I just didn't like the fact it wasn't prominently mentioned, so I left.
Back when I was a member it did.

Yeah, you nailed it.
I did not know steemvoter before this topic, but your answers @raggamuffin makes me interested
