and now it looks like ref-link-spam!

Sorry if it annoyed you. I was kind of pissed by the out of nowhere ban even though all transfers were manual. Though of letting people know about the competition. I used to think of 2 services as pretty much equals. The inaccurate bot detection Vs White-list only made Smartsteem look much better now.

Yeah, I feel you... but I think it's generally not a nice practice to deploy referral links without clearly marking them as such.

It did seem like an obvious thing as I habitually read the link before clicking it. Edited it to make it dummy proof.

Actually I did use @smartsteem already twice or so.
I didn't know that they judge my posts before upvoting O_0. Respect2them!
I thought no one cares. They upvoted, so they liked apparently. :)

@piotrgrafik,

We don't look manually before the upvote. @smartsteem's upvotes are currently open for everyone, but many votes available on smartsteem.com are only available for whitelisted users.
