(no matter where they come from)
That's what you don't seem to understand, it does matter where they come from. By buying votes you are giving bid bots the bid + curation rewards which outperforms honest curation by a big margin and incentivizes them to delegate back to bid bots and curation is again back to pre-HF. Is that what you want? To get a 10% ROI vote with no curation happening or getting curation because people genuinely want to support your project.
Bid bots should be a problem for everyone invested in Steem as all they've done over the years is give back inflation to the owners and big stakeholders.
From this side I certainly understand the problem, but there will be no balance. One can downvote as often as one likes, the social damage done will be far higher than the "lost" inflation rate. I think you should be able to use bitbots to help others and know that they can never disappear completely on this system. As far as I can remember ocdb was once a Bidbot service and therefore I find it doubly bad to try to stop other services.
You can do that if you do less harm than good. As I said, in the last weeks since the HF many people have left the Steem again, just because of the downvotes... It is not possible to make a "right" decision regarding this topic Bidbots. I myself might want to use one one one day, because I have something important to write. And then you will see how exactly you take it. Because such a post would get a Declined Payout from me. Would you then also downvote???

It's like talking to a wall. You say a non-profit project? Then how does the SP get together, one asks oneself? Through charity? :-) It's about individual decisions that have to be made a new in every situation in order to achieve the highest possible balance between for and against each other. Your service is obviously not capable of this and will therefore continue to be feared only for its power but certainly never respected. Don't forget that there are many who feed few, even in this system. It is far from destructive what you are doing according to this catalogue of rules you have put together. This is the result of our conversation. And I'm out with it and say thank you again.
Beautiful Steeming wished.

O please, always theese discussions.
If I try to talk with #YOUSES, I always am asking for a Post or something, a chart, whatever, making it all plausible to my simple mind.
All I got since are fantasy pictures and shouted loud opinions.
It seems to me like religious dogmatism, which has also no need beeing understood , but has to be obeyed.
I am steeming in fear and this is what you want ?

You are an asshole for flagging posts where other people bid bot it. At least do your due diligence or run a program that only flags self bidbotting. Im SURE If I bid botted YOUR post @acidyo you wouldn't flag yourself would you??
I know other people you have done this to it is very lame.
Don't you realize I could bidbot anyone I don't like and some doofus like you would come along and flag it. dumbass.

You are highly narcissistic to think I follow your piece of shit blog that is 80 percent re-steems and some garbage lets plays. This is why no one likes you, you just flag shit with no explanation most of the time and seriously expect people to dig through your garbage re-steem blog themselves.
