One of the highlights tonight are the spam comments by @tofayelahammed which were upvoted by bid bots. It takes a special kind of account to say, "wow nice post" and then pay a bid bot to push that comment to the top of the page.
Still working on my scripts and hope to have some exciting things to share soon!

Love your work mate. I tried convincing some idiot that his spam commenting would get him no where after your bot started flagging him. He didn’t seem to understand why his shit comments were shit. So I had to help with a few flags.

On Steemit a 'slider' that allows you to adjust voting percentage appears when you have 500 SP or more. Yet...
Those percentages are part of the SteemPlus Browser Extension, which somewhat poetically also allows any account to set a voting weight!

I just flagged a few of those comments. The baffling thing is he doesn't buy upvotes for his blogs, just comments. I guess it's easier to upvote 10 "nice pic" comments than it is to post 10 blogs.

I found a bot fighting flagrant comment self upvoting I think I may delegate so SP to. https://steemit.com/@sadkitten
I want to fight it myself but I don't want to end up -15 reputation like berniesaunders. Flagging people with more Steempower can be deadly for your rep

You have to be careful. I've been hit for taking action. Even delegating has risks as it's all visible, but if enough people do it is not feasible to attack them all. The alternative is to buy a new account with crypto and give it enough sp to flag on your behalf. That's more anonymous, but more work than most would want to do

This is the second time you have asked me to remove my comment, after I offered a calm reply to your aggressive tone.
There are no flags to take back as I did not flag your comment, however you have flagged me.
Would you consider removing your flag?

That's crazy - the bot comment voting is something I've only just become aware of. Something happened on a post with a bounty on it. I've included a screenshot below. If you go to the guys account almost all his comments are voted on by the same people - resulting in similar payouts. I deduced it's in an attempt at scamming the bounty system.
