We don't believe that there's any blackmail involved here, nor does any of the users being followed by this bot account have the ability to blackmail anyone on the platform. It would seem that the downvotes that were issued to your service stemmed from frustration from not receiving a response through official channels.
So, putting aside downvoting and focusing on Spam, can you explain the rationale behind the refusal of the service to take action against obvious spam?
If we understand your comments above correctly, you're stating that there are different rules for different users, is that correct?
User has been blackmailing and releasing aggression on various users for not doing what he wants or just out of plain aggression for personal reason, since months ago. He does that by flagging and attacking various great content creators and reputable Hive community members.
While upvotong and supporting all sorts of scammers.
He is Steemit and Justin Sun shill on Hive which can be evidently seen in his curation trail and comments on Steemit.
The bots that you are talking about (he reported) are not set up randomly to spam on anyone. They are created by one user to comment on certain group of accounts that have had dubious relatinonship with current Justin Sun witnesses/shills that have been active on Steemit. This is a private bot clash between few users and it's problem between these users. Hivewatchers do not intervene in private disputes between users.
mmmmkkkk311 tried to blackmail us to blacklist these accounts and started flagging all our posts and comments (as well as private accounts of Hivewatchers memebers) because HW refused to accept that report.
On the other hand mmmmkkkk311 blacklist has been long due. He has been flagging and aggressively commenting on many Hiveian's accounts. Often just because he didn't like someone's opinion or comment (for example, someone's criticism of ridiculous pseudoscience trending on Hive such as flat earth posts, covid-19 caused by 5G network or anti-vaxxer nonsense).
He has also been undermining progress of Hive and it's development by supporting abhorrent characters from Steemit while flagging and attacking respected and legit Hive witnesses or projects. Some of these characters managed to get on Hive now and are actively trying to exploit it (many of them can be seen by checking up who curates him).
Thanks for your comments and for expressing your opinion in a civil manner.
This is not a 'private bot clash' as you put it.
This account (@deepdives) is followed and trailed by @iflagtrash which claims the "spreading dangerous misinformation" with zero evidence.
In fact, this account doesn't post articles at all.
It has always held contests for researchers that requires fully sourced factual information by all participants. Often, sourcing comes from primary documents provided by Wikileaks and official government archives.
Additionally, this account has nothing to do with Justin Sun or any Steemit related scams.
So, this so-called 'private bot clash' claim is null with regard to this account on Hive.
The bots are designed for the sole purpose of intimidation, harassment and provocation.
What's interesting about your comments regarding the alleged abuses of @mmmmkkkk311 is that they perfectly describe the owner of the @iflagtrash account. Which, you refuse to acknowledge as participating in precisely the types of activities you describe as abusive.
The reason why deepdives is commented by this bot is quite certainly related to what you have said in conversation with the owner of this bot while having interactions with mmmmkkkk311. It also is likley related to having something to do with other ultimate Justin Sun shills and sell self offs.
So this is private beef between the owner of this bot and you with mmmmkkkk311
Which user do you refer to? I don't recall Bernie ever supporting Sun Yuchen on Steem when I was there, although they sure did all the rest. I sure as hell never did any of those things.
We don't accept blackmail.

That doesn't address either of our questions about blatant unwarranted spambots which we're seeking clarity on.

Please define blackmail. Your comment seems to be saying that what you do is blackmail. I'm sure that isn't what you mean.
Or, is it?
