This should be easy peasy for @therealwolf / @smartsteem (20-25% of the total vote)

(voting to counter the malicious downvote not that I necessarily agree with the message or even read it) :P

It's perfectly fine with me. I've been voting late all along, most recently at about 5 days.

Excellent! I hope @therealwolf sees this.

I've reduced the weight on it drastically for now. The real solution would be to either hide those posts from the trending page or to have a separate tab for it.

I didn't say it was "the solution". It is one thing that does reduce trending, which can be used right now.

I mostly agree with @therealwolf that the better solution is for UIs should have better tools for deciding what shows up on the front page other than just votes/payouts. The latter should go on a leaderboard and dedicated curation tools.

Yeah thanks for the clarification. I think we are making progress :)

Thank you for being patient with me.

@smartsteem uses its own autovote mechanism AFAIK, which is @therealwolf's project. That's specifically why I picked on him! :-)

And there is some human interaction and engagement on a bot post! Viola! This blockchain in alive!

;) I didn't implement comment voting for Smartsteem, which is why I was voting higher on the main-posts. I do understand that people get frustrated with seeing automated posts on the trending page, but this could be fixed with UI. (i.e reducing the weight regarding trending on them, or moving those over to a separate section and hiding them for main-trending)

Great
