There is another factor that is at play here at think, and that is their simple rules to follow. The ones you posted. Noticed a few times that vote counts for position 2 were higher than those of position 1. How can that be? Easy: Duplicate votes. A lot of them, from people who think too small.

Correction may not be obvious but given any imbalance or displacement, the fix is on the way and future possibility often takes a lot of the impact.

Creating more work for their admin team is a bad strategy.
Encouraging others to be as unethical and selfish as you are (this is by no means directed at you halo)- to do the same is just stupid.
If in need of insight, head on over to SteemBounty.

Itś steemits new ¨Paid To..______¨ site.
Paying incentives is one thing but lets ask- has ¨system gaming¨ ever been a problem on steemit? And what is the harm in this? Give a child a power tool - expect that it will be used recklessly, create something delightful while destroying something that is essential to someone else.
Not saying Iḿ against it, but my first impression- lets just say that some of the rooms may be poorly lit at the moment.
Here´s what I saw-
¨Iḿ using my sister, brothers, mothers email account and Iḿ using the Tor network so I vote multiple times¨ ¨but I know what I´m doing¨ he says.

The promoter / bounty payor- says ¨Yea guys, vote twice- you have to vote twice and take screen shot to share in the paid bounty¨ (not verbatim but close)
What´s more-
You have a project, you search where your project is mentioned (prepared to respond in some way), you read what people are saying. If you dont do this, you wont have that project for very long.

I don´t want to curb enthusiasm but I want to say ¨please close your account and go hijack somebody´s web traffic for the chance at internet riches¨
I really try to be nice but holding back is like being dead. There are more than one way to see a thing but if seeing prompts me to choose. Then Iḿ either out or moving to share in the ownership.
