I want to point out some things about @steem-ua that have come to light recently.
@scipio has made it clear that no action against users that exploit the UA system. Personally, not sure, if it is because now that @holger80 is MIA, maybe he doesn't know how to penalize blatant abuse or he doesn't want to lose delegations from the bad actors.
Either way, I perceive his ethics are suspect and I have also noticed the SP being powered down almost every time I checked. It's not a real community project like what we at SFR do. (Steem is powered up and SP retained to further fuel efforts to curb token manipulators).
You mention of it has prompted me to go ahead and remove mine when I get home. I get a nice return of vote value from a fairly small delegation but it's not worth forsaking principle over.
As I gather, @scipio is either complicit, apathetic or incompetent to implement administrative overrides into the code that could penalize bad actors thus influencing better behavior.
He's deferred to the community which he seems to forget he is part of. Or maybe he's just siphoning off Steem rewards to build his empire on WhaleShares.
P.S. Thanks for considering us at SFR!
Thanks for that, it certainly makes me lean more towards undelegating!

I forked the code.
I plan to make sure it is actually working as I have suspicions that it is not for the following reason. RPC API limitations have been put in place on Steem RPC nodes that @holger80's Beem library has not been updated to address which leads to issue w certain methods.
Considering UA is dependent on Beem functionality, there is a good probability that it is affected. I will be performing a deeper analysis. But for the reason of not addressing the exploits as mentioned, I have removed my delegation and will be encouraging others to do the same.
I'll work on developing a UA model with proper oversight and measures to penalize exploitative behaviors that is unless @holger80 returns and corrects the issue(s).

Wow great work,
I think holger might be busy with @nextcolony, I know he's part of that!

Interesting. I've heard rumors that he ditched but maybe that isn't the case.

I just checked his activity on GH. Active 21 hours ago. So we know he's alive but people say he has not been responding to DMs.

Could it simply be that my original answer, which you published here in your screenshot, for which basic etiquette would have dictated you'd at least mention to me over DM or ask me (ask somebody? do people still do that?), is actually true ?
I said - in essence - let the algorithm solve it.
But no, that possibility - which is the truth - doesn't even occur to you. Instead, you choose to publicly call me "complicit", "apathetic", "incompetent", "have suspect ethics", that I'm "building my Whaleshares empire by just siphoning off Steem rewards".
Dude: WTF?!

Let the algorithm solve it my ass!
@steemychicken1 still shitposting for UA rewards. You have proven yourself either incompetent or apathetic as stated previously. (I gave you opportunity prior to public rebuke)
Both entail bad stewardship of the Steem power entrusted to your bot which I will expose if you continue to allow the unmitigated abuse.
The screencap is from a public channel on the UA discord so fair game. I didn't nor would I have shared had it been a private DM.
Tagging @holger80 as am advising he shitcan you for the above stated rationale unless you take appropriate action.
I've already forked the GitHub so request you turn this around @scipio before I escalate to the broader antiabuse community and start coding a abuse resistant replacement.
I gave your courtesy from the start and now you're starting to annoy me. If you know history, you know the shit storms the community is capable of when abuse is brought to light.
We've already worked to drop the chickens shitpost rewards in the past but don't have the time to monitor him continuously.
Do the community a solid and do the right thing and blacklist the user from irresponsible use of UA stake. I will do my best to bury the hatchet / commend you publicly if you choose that course.
Presently, you are on our naughty list and it's not a good look tbh.
