RE: I made the mistake of voicing my concerns about the upcoming hardfork.
@anyx I'm sorry you're off the top witness list but since you are still a back up witness perhaps we won't have to shut down @cheetah and @steemcleaners because the community really needs both ( If I'm wrong I stand corrected) - having said that perhaps it won't be necessary to shut them down - perhaps we could ask the community to fund it like what a few of us did with @crowdfundedwhale.
IMHO, @cheetah and @steemcleaners are both very essential to prevent plagiarism here and unless there already is an alternative to that I hope you reconsider - that solution. Perhaps you could also ask the community to fund them instead.
Thank you for the support. The community has had every opportunity to support cheetah and steemcleaners by upvoting things they do. They have historically not, although perhaps I have seen a decent amount more recently for steemcleaners (perhaps with the whale no-voting experiment).
Yet have seen next to zero support for cheetah. No one upvotes cheetah comments.
Now that I understand the situation I will upvote @cheetah comments. I had never thought of @cheetah as having been created by someone who needed my support! Now that I realize that there is an amazingly talented person behind it how could I not upvote @cheetah comments!
I just went and UPVOTED your last 10 @cheetah comments and I'll remember to do so in the future!
@anyx I see a solution so you won't have to shut them down.
I 'll try to remember to upvote @cheetah's comments from now on - as for the @steemcleaners I've been doing that already I think I have just missed a few posts cause either I wasn't online or doing something else.
I hope you hid the advice Javier threw you up there - or consider giving it to someone for now . I understand that you feel so being off the top or are you back? However, having seen Ned's consistency I have a feeling he knows what he's doing and I haven't read anywhere here that a top witness is guaranteed to be where they are for good. I still haven't removed you as one of my witness and I am not planning to but I respect anyone choices of casting their votes - it's their right to cast it and take it off anyone. Having said that - he could also put you back up again isn't it possible, too?
As for cheetah - I really love that cat and what that cat does to the community so give the community a chance to show you our support to that cat besides you created it for the good of the community so if you need to step back for now - then do so but I hope you take leaving the cat to someone willing to manage it - into consideration.
Yeah, Ill be taking smooth's advice for now. We'll see how the community responds moving forward. Thanks for the support :)
I use the cheetah comments as a guide when I'm doing the Steemit Ramble.. it's gives me a headsup there may be a problem with the post. Maybe add a comment to the community in cheetah's comment that an upvote if they support cheetah's work would help? I have never thought to do so. Similar to @namescreen's comment when he notifies someone their post is on the undervalued list. An upvote shows support.
Speaking of Cheetah, who I know I did not like at first but have since come to appreciate as his code has improved, are you also running the same bot on Golos?
Indeed, I update the code weekly if not daily. It has been a huge project for me, and I thought it has gotten much better over time. I'm not so sure anymore.
I have a fork of the bot running on Golos with slightly different logic (enabling Russian, basically). The cheetah there is going through growing pains as well, and if I shut it down here, I will ask the Golos community if they would also like it shut down there.
Don't shut it down, please. Just perhaps add a line telling it not to complain when I repost my Steemit stuff there! I haven't see the Steemit version commit any gross mis-tags like that early time I encountered it. It seems to work rather well now here.
If you're linking to the original source and you've verified with me that the content is your own, there is a good chance that you won't get the cheetah comment. There's more advanced logic nowadays on top of the whitelist.
I actually never thought about up voting @cheetah comments. I've never considered voting for a bot. Yet, I also did not know you needed that to support @cheetah. Knowing that would make a difference in whether I voted for such things or not.
