RE: www.steem-bounty.com is live
This is really cool and next week I will try using the site for adding the bounty. When this project first started I wasn't 100% sure about it, but wanted to test it on my contest to see if it was a viable way to reward those who enter the contest.
It works great and I just make it clear in the post that those who show up to just try and grab part of the bounty by posting something and upvoting themselves will be flagged. Only have had a few try this, but overall most bounty-hunters have been very respectful of the rules of how we use the bounty. Thank You All for that!
Just this week with the contest going on I used another bounty to reward engagement while reserving my voting power to focus on the contest entries. This was great as I know about how many people comment on most of my posts and this allowed me to give them what I normally would have without investing the voting power. Allowed me to manage my VP better this week.
Overall I think @steem-bounty is doing a good job and they have earned my witness vote. Look forward to increased function, including a blacklist for those couple who don't respect the rules...hint...hint!
We do have a blacklist. Let me know if u have offenders that should be on it.
Thank you for the kind words!
yourinfo has more then annoyed me and even tried with a repeated comment last week including a very last minute attempt to gain part of the bounty. They have a perfect 100% track record of self voting.
Unlike many here I call things like I see them and you have earned my kind words and respect. I do a lot of watching from the sidelines figuring out who is doing what before someone gets my witness vote. More important there are very few that I recommend others to vote for like I have with steem-bounty.
There are very few efforts on steemit to make the platform function better for those of us that don't have large accounts and that is a shame as there are 10,000k of us for each of you that have a large account. Steem-bounty is one of the tools that helps those of us that are growing our accounts manage things like VP which is very important.
he is on the blacklist now
Did you see my comment that I tagged you in here
This clown actually has 25 accounts that he is using now.
Yep they are all on the blacklist
Thank you sir! I will probably still flag the asshat if he comments more, but at least now I don't need to worry about the last minute crap sneaking in and taking from the curators for the PIF Curation Contest.
@knirchy was wondering if you would be interested in doing a little interview with me. I started up a PIF Spotlight post series that I want to feature some of the witnesses and larger members of steemit that are doing good things for the smaller members. Think you would be ideal for this and we can talk about steem-bounty naturally and now the website you launched for it.
If you are interested I'm on discord same name #6765 or if you aren't on discord we can work it out.
Can you contact me on telegram so we can coordinate?
@knircky just installed it, now how do I find you there?
Oops, I see this is the same offender that I just commented about. Thank you for staying on top of things!
Thank you for mentioning the blacklist. I came to this post specifically looking for a recourse. Someone appears to have sniped a good portion of my small bounty by leaving a mediocre comment at the last minute, then upvoting it with 25 accounts, none of whom even voted on my post or the other comments. https://steemit.com/finance/@wholeself-in/the-problem-with-bitcoin-is-you#@birapada/re-wholeself-in-the-problem-with-bitcoin-is-you-20180611t001332503z
What is your preferred method for nominating people to the blacklist?
You tell me, ill verify and then put on the list
