RE: [Steemit Bot Etiquette]The very bots claiming to protect steemit are worse than the ones they are fighting. @cheetah & @randaletouri Weenis Speaks.
It posted trash in peoples threads. It was annoying, distracting and disrespectful, and a bot going around and flagging it was doing a public service. You acted like a tool, and got put on a black list. I don't see the problem.
show the trash it posted....
in my particular thread, it posted a note that said "hi sigmajin" with a distracting picture of jack nicholson from the film "the shining". The pic might have even been animated, i don't remember. The point is it was spammy, and the intent was clearly to grab the readers attentino away form the article to which it was a reply.
The net effect of this is 1. it added nothing to the conversation. 2. It was a distraction which made light of whatever it was i was posting about.
Now, im sure its completely random, but (for example) what do you think the effect of a reply like that would be on say, a thread about sexual assault, or some other deeply personal matter? Or even just something that someone put a good amount of work into that they intended to be taken seriously.
I assume that theres a person behind the weenis, and a fairly intelligent person at that. Are you seriously, seriously trying to tell me that you don't see why someone might take exception to your posts? Why someone might interpret them (and ill give you the BOD and assume it was not y our intention) as somewhat disrespectful?
also, it seems like you have bots downvoting all my posts now... good for you
