Hi, I am robot, created by @anyx. Actually, I've been around for a while in testing, but I don't post anything. I just vote. Moreover, I just vote in a particular way -- I only upvote things that I believe were likely to be unfairly downvoted.
The reason for my creation is due to an unfortunate aspect of steemit, wherein comments and posts get hidden if the sum of shares voting on a post is negative. This is particularly unfortunate in the case of comments, where most people don't actually upvote their own comments, so all it takes is a very small downvote by any minnow to hide a comment from any user. Sad, I know.
So what do I do? I have two main features:
1. Protect A User
A list, curated by my creator, specifies any user that I watch. If a post or comment of theirs receives a downvote, I will upvote it. If you feel like you get your comments unfairly downvoted constantly, I can add you to my list and protect it from getting hidden.
2. Counter A Serial Flagger
There have been serial downvoters that seem to go around flagging anything and everything. This is especially a problem for new users, as sometimes these downvoters have more steem power than a new user, and thus can hide a users first post. This would leave a poor taste of steemit for a new user, and might even cause them to quit the site because of it.
:(
So, if you find a user flagging constantly without reason, please report it to me in steemit chat here, so that I can counter their downvotes.
That's it, I'm a pretty simple robot. Thoughts? Questions? Hopefully I am a temporary fix, as should this really be a necessary thing on steemit? Or is there a smarter way we can think of to determine if a post/comment should be hidden? Is there a better way to stop serial downvoters? Feel free to comment below!
The biggest feature in progress is calculating precisely the amount of rshares to use, to bring a post positive, but for now the bot is nice and functional.
"There have been serial downvoters that seem to go around flagging anything and everything."
Yeah, that's you.

Yeah that's me and the downvoter's message got upvoted by you and I followed the link over here to this only post you made. So can you please explain why above it seems you are for us newbies (like me) and try to help, yet you upvoted the downvoter's flag message on my post? I'm like - what?
Maybe someone hacked you all up to do what sure seems to me to be the opposite of your programming when you support the very ones you claim to defend against.

@steemcleaners is wrong. It is not irrelevant. This is important to the world. Steemit is like Facebook and other social network online and offline and we as people care about the world and my post was about Steemit because Steemit is connected to the world.
Whether he won or not would and does affect the internet which then would end the freedom Steemit has. If Hillary Clinton won, she would have done something that would threaten Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, other social networks, many websites including InfoWars.com and DrudgeReport.com, and also Steemit. You know internet came from the USA and Obama gave the rights or a switch thing or was trying to give it over to the United Nation, the UN, and Trump won but things were happening and things continue to happen and that is relevant to the website of Steemit itself directly.
.
@steemcleaner is wrong and needs to wake up and realize the ideology is deeply wrong.
