RE: Introducing: Stem Assistant - No more wasting VP on science content thieves.
Well well!
This is a sight for sore eyes :D
Hi @mobbs, I'm not a @steemstem contributor (yet, always thinking I should get involved!) but I am absolutely delighted to here about a community become more stringent on what it is willing to use the key community account to vote on.
Of particular interest to me is the mention of the bots. You mention abusing bots going against receiving a vote, can I ask if there are more details to this policy?
e.g. Is there a vote buying limit? Are particular bots off the table completely?
This is taken from a post I made last month:
I feel this is the start of the above, even before 'Communities', as a method to 'protect' your tag.
Thanks for your time. Good stuff!

Our discord states the following:
The two accepted ones are, I believe, because we intimately know their trustworthy efforts to blacklist users effectively themselves, working hard to avoid spam and abuse of their services.
If we can easily filter them out that would be pretty cool!
Hey, thanks for the reply.
I think there are a number of Bots trying to manage abuse, it's a tough ask though as you can imagine.
Perhaps a limit to 1 bot, or a limit to the amount, would be clearer than 'reasonable boundaries'?
A list of bots could be gathered reasonably quickly. But with the vote selling services the votes can come in from anyone who's delegated, and so that is much tougher to track.
The application would need to check wallet sends to see if bids had gone out for the post. It's work for the Dev, but not impossible.
The early signs are promising to me :)
