MinnowBooster Update: Automated Upvote Buying is Officially a Breach of MB Terms of Service

in minnowbooster •  7 years ago 

Same happened to me

Do you mean the getting blacklisted or the kicked off discord without any comment part?!

I totally understand that a blacklisting can happen, but I am a bit shocked to get thrown out the door for asking about it, without any correspondence at all.

A was blacklisted while sending bids
I usually send quickly many requests from 0.04 to 1 SBD
You know: send / backspace /change SBD value / send again/ repeat
It may look like bot's work :)
I hope blacklisting will be temporary or revised.
If not ... oh well, tough luck :)

P.S.
LOL, I didn't expected sending 10SBD or even more is legit and brings effects :)

ah ok... well i guess that's not really a poblem then... as I said, blacklisting can happen for many reasons.

I really appreciate their effort to weed out spam and abuse, so a zealous blacklist is great imho. It's when you get thrown out for just trying to appeal, without being given any comment... that's where I think things start going wrong.

10 SBD works... there are a few big vote sellers on minnowbooster, they are hard to catch, and so yes, it takes repeated attempts similar to what you're doing at the right time to get these.

So I guess I did that too much?! I usually buy a vote every second day or so... it's really not that much compared to what i see others doing on much less original posts (well I guess that's subjective.... but anyways...)

Feel free to join the discord room again and inquire about MB service and your account again if you'd like..

yeah... well, the invite links in the MB posts all seem to have expired? Do you have one for me that works?

Well, I do not know if 10 SBD is too much. Actually "The Steemmarket" will adapt and adjust itself. I often see people bids much higher. I thought you just have no chance to "win" upvote this high. I thought only minnows with small voting power sells their votes to minnowbooster. But thinking this over.... Whales can sell their votes too. It makes sense. Lol I'm constantly learning :).

From my point of view:
Minnowbooster is ok (although it blacklisted me <no hard feelings, they can do what they want >) In my case MB helped me to gain reputation and gain some voting power.
I truly believe that making good content is the best way to succeed on Steemit.com, but with no reputation and no followers you can stick your GREAT CONTENT up "Y.A."

That is why MB is a great tool to make a change

You can cite me.

No, you can't.

krkrkr... lol

yeah... let's heal the world alright :D

Getting kicked out is pretty unprofessional. I've been a big fan of minnowbooster and now I'm just disappointed. If you don't mind waiting to get white-listed try smartsteem

I'm not sure you have much to say about this @vimukthi as your clearly an abuser in addition to fraenk... I'm sure getting kicked out of discord was a mistake but considering you guys have both abused the system I don't think you have much to say at this point that will make you look credible or make people feel sorry for you...

Here's a sample of the suspicious behavior i found in your wallet just a minute ago for other folks to see...

They are all manual transfers. I don't even have enough knowledge to code a bot. I re-send my transfers because they keep coming back with the same message. It didn't used to be like this.

I used to just check the graph and send a bid. But I haven't seen a value above 0.5 SBD in weeks. Getting an upvote is pretty much like a gamble. I have to try many times to get an upvote.

Even though the message say to look at the chart most of the time only about 0.1 votes are available. I do not stare at the charts all the time. So I may have missed some.

I assure you that all transfers were 100% manual.

You're not an abuser @vimukthi!

Thanks! I guess you'll have to get busy reviewing accounts. Lots of new people are going to join Smartsteem. I even dropped a couple of links to your website.

Kudos for thinking ahead and setting up your services in a future proof way.

sorry... did you just say I am "clearly an abuser" or did I read that wrongly?!

fair play. get rid of those who abuse the system. I'm new to steemit and have been watching this argument closely....
Keep it up so content stands out by itself...

nice way plugging your ref-link ;)
