- It employs automatic refunds and already refunded an authentic user which is not its owner in disguise or one of his accomplices.
- It has an automatic prevention against overbidding in a round
2*. less than automatic refunds in case of overbidding, but still better than nothing, is when it automatically refunds bids over a certain size - Its owner, his family and accomplices do not interfere in the bidding rounds. No self votes either.
- Its owner/operator is responsive in steemit and does not hide behind steemit.chat / discord / other platforms accounts
- The bot account vests Steem instead of only renting it.
- It votes on comments
- It employs a blacklist against spammers
- The higher its total vote value/minimal bid ratio the better.
- It shares its revenue with its frontrunners in case it has any. Frontrunners should be considered as steem delegators or vote sellers.
Personally I prefer bots which are not "grumpy compliant", and allow late votes freely, due to comfort, but a grumpycat vote can destroy most users' reputations, and also hurt their post's reward and ROI.
I know a good vote bidding service which does not obey this rule, and it causes some injustice both for earlier bidders and for frontrunners.
It is a property that I would rather have, even if not one of the most necessary, it is still necessary nonetheless.
No bidbot that I know about does it this way.
