The reason @steemcleaners was self voting their comments is a little complicated. When it was made clear to us that any of our reports that made the trending page would be flagged we had to ask our larger supporters to stop auto upvoting our posts and look for alternative support for our project. One of our supporters that owns @adm (who also allows us access through community members for flagging) started upvoting our comments instead and so did @steemcleaners.
Since our 1M SP delegation we no longer use the @steemcleaners account for upvoting and @adm continues to support us by upvoting our comments.
Currently @steemcleaners has 2 full time members (40+ hours a week) and several part time members (2-10 hours a week). We also payout a small reward in SP to those who report abuse to us.
Hey @patrice...thanks for taking the time to explain that. It makes total sense.
TWO people!?! Wow.
You know y'all need only ask to get a ton of help from the community. I'm sure this again a case where my ignorance kicks in because I'm sure the work is sensitive and vetting people is a factor. Just know, there are a lot of people who'd like to help.
Thanks again!
There are a lot of things that are not as transparent as we would like. Many of these conversations take place in chat and in the comment sections of posts on other accounts.
There is a bit of a problem with finding time to screen new members and incorporating them into the team. I'm looking at some alternative solutions to get the community more involved.
Thanks for your support.
Just two?! Oy. How can one join part time and help?
Oh for crimini's sake you are seriously a team of 2 and a few part timers?!? OMG I knew you were an angel before but holy jeebus. I am going to DM you on steemit.chat
