RE: Updated Sneaky Ninja Abuse Policy - Must Read!!
Hey @sneaky-ninja! Great service, but I just got back a bid return for blacklisting. Now I did, most recently us your service to bid up a post that was a fundraiser, posted by another and it was 5 days old. I just tried to bot a Brand new post of my own and got the refund and got the Dreaded Message! I'd like a clarification on this, and I will work to make sure it never happens again. Here is the link for the new post that got rejected: https://steemit.com/veterans/@underground/stories-of-the-old-ones-patriot-edition
And the one that was 5 days old: https://steemit.com/life/@powpow420/my-wifes-surgery
To make matters worse, upon further review, I may have another one of my own that I had the Ninja upvote that was borderline, or too old. MY BAD for not reviewing the "abuse policy" (ignorance is no excuse) and this will be avoided in the future! I may have to wait a week, but I will follow your EXACT Instructions for removal from your list. Please advise if this is the proper reason or not...
TIA, @underground
I just looked at your account. It is only about overuse of bots. Here is the basics of how we determine that one... If someone is consistently (every or most of the persons posts) using more that 5 bots on each post then the team will call it abuse. Hopefully that helps :)
Oh The Minnowpond is one transfer, they break it up and have that array of subscription bots. You should probably look at "transfers" if that is the actual criteria... I do not think I have had a 5 transfers per post. But yes indeed, minnowpond can have well over 5 bots LOL

You have recieved a free upvote from minnowpond, Send 0.1 -> 10 SBD with your post url as the memo to recieve an upvote from up to 100 accounts!
I usually send 2 to 3 SBD to minnowpond, and I can get up to a half dozen notifications of the voting replied on a post. Automatically... SEE?
I sent minnowpond HERE lol 2.000 SBD... check out all the automated replies
As you can see, Minnowpond throws multiples votes and notifications for one Transfer. I really appreciate what you are doing with @sneaky-ninja, but I reviewed my own botting and did not see any instances where I actually used 5 transfers. Usually two, but 3 on occasion. I like minnowpond and would like to keep using it but I really like the @sneaky-ninja and would rather use that service. I've been a good boy for close to a week, I'd like back on your good boy list but please let me know. I will check the post for those actions!
wow, thanks for severly over explaining that one lol....
Really, I mean it lol.
Now that I have looked at it in further detail it is minnowpond that they all come from.
Until now I was not aware of what minnowpond was doing so it looks like I will have to alter the training for my team to avoid minnowpond ones or possibly alter the rule itself. I appreciate you making me aware of this.
I'm removing you from the list. This could take a couple days so if you still get a refund and message after this just wait a couple days and it should be fine.
Sorry for the inconvenience
Actually, All's well that ends well, and if I have made a friend in the process it's a def. WIN/WIN! :) Minnowpond is unique, the originator made a very nice free set of votes to another fundraiser and he's a pretty solid "Steemitizen" and really promotes Steem. @cryptohustlin !!
Thank you for hearing me out, so glad that I was able to present this properly
😉
it looks like an ok service. Thanks for pointing it out
I will say that it gives a big negative return though...
Your 2 sbd here only turned into about 1.30 before curation and the split between sp and liquid. That is at least 35% negative ROI (before curation, 50% after) when most bots are set to not go below -10% these days.
Yes, it has been better in the past. Too many using it lately LOL
Needs better caps!
