If your bot has upvoted abuse or a blatantly low effort post and fails to unvote after being notified, comments with payout will be flagged. Encourage others to do the same so the vote sellers become more accountable.

Hi @anthonyadavisii, I had come here to chew you out over the @fushcarbon bot but I'm glad I read the comments first to see that this is some asshats being trolls under your name. You're now the third person I've talked with this week who's run into exactly the same problem (a low-powered downvoter bot spoofing another legit blogger).
This is definitely a flaw in the Steem ecosystem -- over at @steemsmarter we're working bot flagging tech that will isolate or ignore bot behavior as part our analytics -- still the community needs a better way to prevent bad actors from relentless trolling.
I can set up an auto-down vote for that @fushcarbon if you think it would help drive his votes and reputation down.

Yes, we like to call them the Steemit Doofus League. This all started as part of their beef with Bernie. Then, I decided to call out their shenigans and counter their votes with my own bots so they started playing even more dirty.
Agreed. I'll check out your project.
Appreciate the willingness to help but the problem is the account doesn't post so nothing to downvote. @themarkmark and @berniesanders are both taking appropriate actions to remediate the problem so I am optimistic.

Example.
I let @sneakyninja know with about 3 hours to go. Apparently, they have some SteemBotCleaner account that is supposed to audit their votes. Not sure if that is happening but this is the second time I tried to get a post unvoted and it just didn't happen. They even mention something about rewards for abuse reporters. All things aside, that is a great idea.
@postpromoter's, run by @yabapmatt, policy is to unvote plagiarism. With the spectrum of abuse and shitposting we have present on the blockchain, this narrow policy is woefully inadequate.
I believe it is important for Steem to convey a culture that hard work is rewarded which I believe trumps maximizing payouts to delegators.
I commend @therealwolf and @appreciator for unvoting low effort posts in the past that I had submitted. (My memory is fuzzy but think @themarkymark / @buildawhale had in the past as well.
If you believe you must buy votes and care about the future of Steem, recommend you take your business to them as they have a more vigilant stance about shitposts trying to game the system.

Hi @anthonyadavisii, your bot @fushcarbon downvoted my last post here https://steemit.com/elegance/@artmom/lighthouse-sketch-with-watercolor-markers
Can I know why?
I draw that sketch myself just yesterday. I hope it was by mistake.

It's not my bot. They are using my identity and flagging people to make it seem like I am behind it. Real sleazy move. They also are doing the same with my fellow abuse fighters @soma909 and @johngreenfield.
I had been running a couple bots to counter their dowmvotes, @neutralizer and @randohealer, but now @berniesanders is now working to cancel the downvotes with @flagfixer. I may still run a bot to follow @fushcarbon's and the id theft accounts downvotes and reply letting people know it's not us.
I've probably been asked by 4 people already about the bot so it's getting quite burdensome.

Thank you for a quick respond! I’m sorry to hear that somebody is using your name for such a bad move.
It’s just so disappointing that someone thinks that I’m a plagiarist🤷♀️

Any chance of explaining to me why your @flagbot has flagged my post please?
The post is Heartbreak in France

It's not my account or bot. Someone is stealing my identity basically. You should see some counter upvotes from my bots though.
Sorry for them flagging you. We're working on getting their power pulled from @steem.
