After a very successful run of Minnow Booster Day with our new design, we have seen every minnow up voted (including the ones that joined during Minnow Booster Day)! This was a huge success as many of these smaller fish have spent over a week not getting a single vote!
Upon review, we found this system was so efficient, accounts would actually run out of posts to up vote! This means we can expand further the concept!
In addition to the successful run of Minnow Booster Day, we have decided to create another day dedicated for the mid section "dolphins" we will be calling "Flip Flop Day":
Flip Flop Day
Saturday each week for 24 hours we will have a different voting policy from the rest of the week. All accounts will begin voting UPWARD (not downward) from the bottom of the Shadow Ranks (UPDATED):
- Casters under 20 Shadow Rank will only get up votes if they are over the FVL.
- All Casters over 20 Shadow Rank will get up votes.
- Voting will start at the lowest Shadow Rank and move upwards.
- All Minnows will be skipped since they have their own day! Pool Priority will still be enforced for members of the same Shadow Rank but votes will be Cast first to members of a lower Shadow Rank (all things equal).
Flip Flop Day will ensure everyone in the middle is getting a full day where their posts are ranked first, Minnow Booster Day will ensure everyone at the bottom is getting a full day where their posts are ranked first, and the remainder of the week the Pool Priority decides your posts' rank in the queue.
We greatly appreciate all the feedback and support that went into this! Without all of you none of this would be possible!

I changed it to only grab 3 votes a week. How long will this take?
When will the chat function be available?

The 3 votes per week function is per caster not total votes. There are 1108 total casters currently which means that would limit each of them to 3 votes total per 7 day period, not 3 votes total for the entire pool.
The chat is currently in alpha development and will be rolled out shortly! We will announce the beta launch soon and invite all to join!

Absolutely! I wouldn't want to give up my level 22. I personally think you would get more participation if users had the option to scale their vote or just do lower vote % as you are essentially limited 11 100% upvotes in a day before it drains your VP beyond a 24 hour recovery. Other than that, I like it. I think @grandpawhale was a great addition to it

@grandpawhale has been a saint with us since the beginning! Beyond that, the FVL is a level of SP you must hold in order to vote with a Fractional Level (Fractional Voting Level). Those over the FVL (currently 1250 SP) are able to fractionally vote and the way things are scaled, they are able to provide votes to most every member of the pool while still maintaining manual voting ability.

First of all: Awesome bot and a very good service!
But it seems that I have a different problem than everybody else, my voting power seems to be at 100% based on https://steemd.com/@takowi , but the bot is rarely voting other shadowbot user up. Hence my voting efficiency is quite low at 20%.
Is this a normal situation for a newbie like me and my low SP?

Nice to hear about the flipflop day! Being a minnow and shadow caster level over 20 didn't get me into the minnow club. Now that seems to be solved.😄
Further, my account only voted two times yesterday where I guess it should be at least 5 times. Could you guys look what is happening?

Can you provide an example, we are not seeing any votes on posts that are expired. Expired posts would not earn any value and we do not vote them. The person with 0 SP actually has a fraction of an SP but we do not display fractions of SP.

Quick question for @shadowbot, I got a vote that seemed way too small from a shadowcaster over the fractional vote threshold. I looked at their account and it turns out they've delegated most of the power away for a profit, but they are still getting the shadow rank benefits of having lots more SP that they are currently voting with now. Are shifts in SP only getting taken into account when shadow ranks are recalculated every Saturday or si there a bug?

The SD is currently set at 6 and the FVL is currently 1250. We always have the numbers in the FAQ set to the current values in use.

But my Shadow Rank is 41 so divide it by 6 and I get 6,83 round it down to 6. So I should be getting 6% votes from all above FVL. But I'm getting only 4%. Can you have a look on that?

Shadow rank is only part of the equation now, they also figure in your SP as a component of how much you contribute to the pool. See https://shadowbot.us/shadowbot/voting.dec.31.2017.php for a full chart.
