Steem experiment: Burn post #99

If the initiative would be to drive SBD closer to 1 usd, then this SBD should be sold at exchanges for BTC(or usd is possible), then the BTC should be used to buy steem at the same exchanges, and then back to steemit account.

Trading It on internal market Will only drive the steem price up, wich Will discourage people to trade their SBD for steem, because they Will get less steem/SBD (unless you people are Trading on both ends). Actually this would encourage to sell their steem

After reading the "Rules and update" post, it seems @burnpost is about flagging spam, selling SBD for STEEM to exert downward market pressure, and to eventually burn the STEEM.

My question is, has the flagging been occuring? I may simply not know the correct tool to fact check, however looking at SteemDB in the Votes section (I believe a flag is simply a vote that goes against the post), @burnpost seems to not be voting at all..

However, it's sitting at 98% voting power, rather than 100%, so for "not voting for 2 months", it must be doing something. That being said, if it was a bot flagging known bots/spammers automatically, it should be hovering around 80% voting power to constantly be maximizing its effectiveness I would think.

Can anyone shine some light on how I would validate it is doing its job against spamming? Or did I misunderstand "stop spammers and similar forms of clear abuse" to mean flagging, when it is accomplishing it some other way?

@burnpost delegates essentially all of its SP to @mack-bot, which flags spam constantly (also a smaller amount to @spaminator), leaving only a small amount of bandwidth so the account can function.

https://steemd.com/@spaminator

Unfortunately I don't know of a tool to show currently active delegation (without a program to use the API), but you can find the delegation actions in the transaction history for @burnpost if you search for them

Ahhh it delegates to @mack-bot. That makes a lot more sense. Thanks for the clarification. Awesome project :)

After taking a look into those bots, I decided to donate a bit of SP to them. It's not much, but I can delegate a few percent of my SP to this noble of a cause
