Very nice. I love the attention to burning & promotion, and I see that you've already implemented this - at least to some extent:

Promoted Content - automated by transfers to the @null or @the-gorilla accounts.

For the flame icons, do you verify that they actually have the @null beneficiary set, or do you rely on the #burnsteem25 tag?

I agree on this point:

Bot Users - By default, any user that has delegated to a known voting bot will have their content hidden. I'm aware that not all bot users post utter crap everyday to get their vote but unfortunately for those few, the majority do.

There are some bot users who do post decent content, but they're wildly outnumbered by the other ones. It might be nice to add a whitelist, but of course maintaining it would be a chore, so maybe not worth the effort.

Anyway, thank you!

Oh, and I almost forgot, you might want to check the link behind here:

I'm not sure if that's really where you want it to go?

Yes, I had a bit of time today and was able to implement some promotion content. I'd like to expand this so that "VIP" users content is also more prominent which is on my to-do list 🙂

Currently for the flame icons, I'm only looking at the burnsteem25 tag rather than checking the beneficiaries. The beneficiaries are retrieved via a different API so I haven't implemented this yet. Given my focus upon performance and how quick the page currently loads, I could see how much of an impact this would have - if it's all good, then I could certainly include more information on the page.

I currently maintain the blacklisted authors manually (adding numerous every time I access the site and see some spam) - a list of 356 users so far - a whitelist shouldn't be too difficult, although I'd probably need the community to tell me which users. Perhaps the thought that if a bot user wants everybody to see their content, they could sacrifice some of their rewards to promote their content (which supersedes the blacklist).

Thanks for the heads-up about the logo link - it's fixed now 🙂

I like this.

Thanks - it fits in nicely with some of the ideas in your post which I've just caught up on (and I see is top promotion on my site too 😀)

Coming back to this...

For the flame icons, do you verify that they actually have the @null beneficiary set, or do you rely on the #burnsteem25 tag?

I've just remembered something I did to help identify posts that support wox-helpfund that only used a single query. I could use that to look up if a post really is burning STEEM and give posts that use the tag but aren't burning a different icon (💩)... imagine that pulsing like the flame... 🤔
