RE: Unchecked bullying is destroying our platform and crushing the price of Steem!
So, I haven't really checked in on whats been going on with you lately @bycoleman / @transparencybot, but I just want you to know that I've just looked through your latest activity and these last few posts, and I'm disappointed with the fact that you downvote people who opt out of your "service". I have been regularly using the #nobidbot tag because I share in your vision for community and quality curation as opposed to runaway bidbot usage. However, your comments on people's posts were not requested, and your flagging of people's work once they opt out of your comments is unnecessary and irresponsible. I admire your projected dedication to integrity and community, but I find your actions hypocritical. I see that you're ending this project, so you may not see this comment or may not care, but I thought I'd leave it anyways. I have yet to decide if I'll be using the #nobidbot tag in the future. All things considered, I still agree with its premise. It's unfortunate to see this petty battle here on Steemit, I don't quite know what else to say. Peace to all parties, and Steem on, I suppose!
