RE: MinnowBooster Update: Automated Upvote Buying is Officially a Breach of MB Terms of Service

in #minnowbooster7 years ago (edited)

I'm agree with you that bot to buy upvotes are not correct but I think you set your level of request too low because I just have been also blacklisted while I did only manual requests...

"Vote request failed! You have been blacklisted!"

When we receive a message as below, what is the problem to send one or several new requests with another amount to try to match ? :

refund: Sorry, we could not upvote you with *** ⇒ $****, please try a different amount. Our website https://www.minnowbooster.net has a graph with what sends are currently working.

Please tell us what we can do to have again access to your services as I never used bot to buy upvotes. I'm just using your website with your internal wallet.

Sort:  

Automated upvotes are destroying the Steem Blockchain it is MinnowBooster's job to be a custodian and practice responsible behavior in terms of facilitating votes. Stay tuned for new improvements and if you feel you have been unfairly blacklisted and you upvote QUALITY content then drop by the discord and and leave your steemit URL for review! Thanks!

They just block people from their discord channel, even before they got a chance to prove they are innocent. Im pretty sure it meant to be innocent until prove guilty but it the other way round and they dont give a shit who they block or they are just bad developers that cart create a system that cart detect bots properly.

Do you want these guys to just pat you on the back when you abuse their service and break their TOS?? Look at a screen shot from your wallet sir and think about who is in the wrong... Pretty sure it is you @liaminit!

How is that breaking the rule, all i did is brought some SB because i did not have any at all and when i had more post i wanted to upvote them but didnt have enough so i brought more, what am i meant to do get SB out of thin air to use the service. This service is very misleading and i thought this service is to help people to get notice, but i guess not. Also blocktrades is an exchange not an account. So stop trying to make me look bad

Stop crying and go elsewhere....

im also blacklisted.i am not using any bot.i just buy upvote from minnowbooster website and wallet.

Same here i been blacklisted for no reason and when i try and prove i wasn't a bot they just blocked me from their discord. It seems to me that they dont care who they block and just complete bad support

Actually no you were banned because you blantently abused the system, broke TOS and were rude! But nice effort trying to spread lies... You own a farming account. I encourage everyone reading this to look @liaminit's posts and see for yourselves!

How was i farming i was only upvoting my own post to get notice, i do not get why you think im farming and yea i reinvest my earning but there is nothing wrong in that. If i was farming i think there would be a better way to do that then use this service. Also i never was rude so stop spreading lies, i got screenshot to prove i wasnt rudeScreenshot_20180313-154458.png

Also there is a 40SB daily limit, so if you say im sending excessive amounts thats just plain stupid, i honestly not intended to farm and i honestly dont know why you thinking that, all because i brought some Sb from an exchange and sent it to minnowbooster. People do things differently from others doesnt mean they are doing something wrong.

Same here. :(

They say, I am using upvote bot, but I am not. I was doing it manually. THEY SHOULD HAVE MENTIONED OR MADE THIS CLEAR ABOUT HOW MANY TIMES WE SHOULD ASK FOR UPVOTE A DAY.

Many people got into blacklist even though we are not using any bot. This is not fair.

That's right. I have to say but minnowbooster has been doing really really bad moves lately. It started with their stupid update that made the graph definitely incorrect and now their program supposed to be for anti-bot is hurting those innocent users like you. That's why I'm starting to like smarsteem more.

This is the same problem that I have. I was called an abuser because I repeatedly sent SBD to the bot as they kept returning. There were no warnings or even parameters. I don't know how this blacklist was made. I didn't send repeated bids when the chart was working. I don't even know how to code a bot. I did manually sent about 10 bids in about 20 mins. Guess it was above the limit(which nobody informed me of)

sent about 10 bids in about 20 mins.

Even bots won't send that far... (Bots can send faster but they won't do it because it's a very suspicious move.) I think sending 5 bids in an hour is overdoing it.

But that's just my opinion maybe because I don't like posting many posts a day and I consider it spamming depending on quality.

My point is, 10 bids in 20 minutes would seem a bot work to anyone who checks the wallet without checking the posts that were voted.

He is absolutely right, he used the same way with several amounts to see if he gives me an ascending vote. That has not been added, but I have been added to the blacklist, when I only use the manual purchase of votes. I should solve this. Otherwise, all users will be on the blacklist. @cryptopassion @techblogger

I've got to say the behavior on your account looks very suspicious as well! Clearly MB is doing something right spotting lots of suspicious activity... From your wallet I can see you have several accounts... Farming perhaps? How many accounts do you own 3? 5? Care to explain these recent activities?

I do not understand what you mean by "Agriculture maybe?" I have only one account for almost a year, the ones shown here are @roseri (my sister) @ismael (my brother in law) @etnique (family) .. In my family, I am in charge of changing the SBD or STEEM to the currency local. You can see in the transactions that the same amount of STEEM that I transferred was the same as that transferred to the service @Change an account of @cervantes. In the same way, the account of @mlaura is a friend who did him the favor.

And the transfer to @etnique has nothing to do with @minnowbooster.

If you are so kind, you can verify each of the accounts that you consider suspicious.

I'm even using the leasing service they offer.

By the way, good idea of the catcha system they implemented. I hope to continue using the service.

I can say this can happen, and not necessarily suspicious.

In my family, I am in charge of changing the SBD or STEEM to the currency local.

I'me too, in the charge of about 4 users money when they want to turn them into local currency (My brother, two sisters and a friend of family who is also in charge of his brother.) Because they aren't technical they tell me whenever they want to use SBD for something and sometimes I find it easier to use them through my own account.

Don't know if that is considered farming.


By the way @osmerj: Farming and Not Agriculture is the when you make more than one account and use each one of them to get money then put all the money in one account to cashout. Like what you did.

@techblogger , take a look at my account and tell me your opinion on if I too am abusing. it seems like the other examples are transferring a bunch of funds between accounts, but I have been re-investing my post rewards. When I got banned, I had done 2 orders for minnow booster, but only 1 per. if you track the previous day, you'll notice that I only put in one order per post otherwise, and they technically didn't even go through.... Any insight would be great, because my intent is only to use the service, not to abuse it.
Thank you for your time!

Someone have a link to acces to minnowbooster discord channel because the link doesn't work

Same for me and I think there are many more who got blacklisted for requesting too fast. Just reduced the vote amount by 10 cent per request until it worked and well that was too fast for the bot detection ^^
I think they need to install a time limit between the requests

same here :\

i am photographer and i write my photo settings as long as possible. some of them i add poems. its not spam...

Yes, I am also been banned recently. There's is no clear mention why I am banned. I am manually sending bids.

It's time to change services I guess.

Sure, you can do that but if you post quality content its much easier to just drop by the discord and show your URL if you've been banned unfairly and you arent a spammer or scammer I'm sure they will take you off the blacklist!

well... I tried reaching out on discord and was instantly kicked off the server?!

what's up with that? Oh and all discord invites on your sites and posts are expired? Or did I actually get banned from re-joining, too?!

That was a pretty shitty experience guys!

P.S.: I left a comment on the top of this post with more detail on my case if you'd care to comment on that, I'd appreciate that a lot!

@fraenk I've taken your points to heart. I've got nothing left to say other than just leaving this screenshot of all the votes you bought. The system picked up your account and auto flagged it. Please join the discord again and we will fix this up.

lol... dude... double check that... exactly ONE vote is purchased... that's the peaceandlove one!

reggae voted me manually, ausbit has a follow vote on my account... You should be able to double-check your logs on which votes came through MB...

you're being pretty damn impolite with those assumptions... and I am actually not upset at all (well, maybe now i am a little bit)...

P.S.: Glad we cleared this up via discord eventually... just for the record: I am no longer blacklisted - I did not cheat - everything is hunky dory - MB is doing the right thing by being overly cautious!

I'm glad as well. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Sir, can you please recheck. I haven't used any automated bot for upvotes from Mb. I have just used usual Minnowbooster balance window. Please remove my account from that blacklist.

~Thank you!

Luckily I at least have bandwidth. Just think about minnows repeatedly getting the above message and running out of bandwidth.
