Many bots follow this same policy, and I think most people would agree 16,000 posts/comments a day is spam. Especially when they are not even your content and just reposting other people's content.
Either way, he didn't give any time to even have a discussion before threatening to flag everything I do permanently.
I'm sorry to say but I have removed my witness vote(s) for you. Your "refund" transfer to the null account was (funny but) not acceptable for a Witness and that is the reason for my vote withdrawal. Like any downvote, I believe that an explanation for the action is appropriate if not required.
It was an emotional, not a professional move on your part and steem won't succeed if the people "running" it act like that.
Keep up the rest of your good work, it is noticed and I will vote for you again if you find a way to resolve this.
Who said it was his Steem. What was the serial number on his?
I know as a witness what an awful thing preventing pull ftg from buying 400 steem of bid bots for a post with just a link to a third party site. Or preventing him from posting 16000 times a day and buying bid bot votes.
YOU said it was his steem when YOU posted the screenshot that said.
@fulltimegeek's refund (With the Memo of) Fulltimegeek refund
I'm assuming those are your words as you posted them.
By the way I do agree with..
I think most people would agree 16,000 posts/comments a day is spam.
And I do appreciate any effort to reduce SPAM.
However,
We (I) am not talking about his actions here. He is not a witness, you are and as a witness I expect something more.
A reference to your TOS policy with a clear and unemotional reason of why the refund was not given would have change my decision. But that is not what happened.
This went from a busines dispute to a flag war in 12 minutes. And as a Business Owner (Witness, BidBot Operator) you can't do that. You have to keep the emotions out of it.
You have to take the high road.
Update. After reading other posts I'm seeing that FTG is also a witness? If so, my comments also apply to FTG. And if so, shame on you for SPAMing.
I'm sorry for any misunderstanding. Let me try to make it clearer.
As a business owner you need to keep the emotions out of it.
You have a TOS policy for a reason, use it. There is no reason for personal attacks, inflammatory words, actions or emotions. They only make things worse.
You are trying to make an emotional case to justify your stance. DON'T! You don't need to. Your TOS makes it clear. If he violated the TOS point out where and how and let it be. PERIOD
I'm sorry for calling this a flag war. I am happy to see you haven't stooped to that level.
I guess a better term for this would be a "pissing contest" or a "shit show". Whatever you call it doesn't matter, it will only hurt steem in the long run.
When our started the development of SteemBet Dice game, we couldn’t imagine that our game would go so viral and that SteemBet would become one of the pioneers in this field.
Some times it fucking amazes me how much drama there is on here, when there's really a small number of people (in comparison to other social media sites) that use this site.
Yeah "money"... But we're talking about 60 STEEM ($18 USD) from someone that has +/- 350k SP, which is enough that he could circle-jerk himself the same amount on a daily basis.
That's more "crazy and looking for a fight" than just "angry about losing a couple bucks".

popcorn bot, do your thing!
Haha, he's apparently hesitating :-D
Certainly, 16,000 posts with spam should be on the blacklist.
Is the blacklist available to the public, where can we find it?

Hey markymark. I came across a nasty experience yesterday on Steem and it was pretty unpleasant. I don’t know who else to reach out to nobody answered my post. Sorry if this is off subject here.

I left you a message on your linked post.
Thank you I appreciate it. I’m trying to ignore the person but they just keep at it.
Same
Can't we all get along on this beautiful social media , fancy faucet, oligarchy place?
Lol what kind of fantasy land are you living in? This place is a powder keg for drama.
I'm putting my money in Orville Redenbacher stock. This blockchain alone will create such a demand that I will be a millionaire in a couple years.

Hahahaha, good thinking in investing in Orville Redenbacher ! It creates more demand for popcorn than for STEEM!

It was symbolic to show it was nothing about money, all the steem is unserialized and just tokens.
I never flagged him. It isn’t a flag war it is him flagging. So I really don’t know what you are talking about.

Some times it fucking amazes me how much drama there is on here, when there's really a small number of people (in comparison to other social media sites) that use this site.
When money is involved, people get crazy.
Yeah "money"... But we're talking about 60 STEEM ($18 USD) from someone that has +/- 350k SP, which is enough that he could circle-jerk himself the same amount on a daily basis.
That's more "crazy and looking for a fight" than just "angry about losing a couple bucks".
Did you refund in the end?

4800 posts! I never knew that was even possible.
Sorry, I was wrong, some days 16K
I struggle just getting one post a day lol
Well he just posts links to third party sites that promote his agenda, he doesn't actually post anything.
Damit you could have bought some crack houses and meth labs with that!

My favorite one!
