I agree, vote sellers need to be a part of the solution, I have some ideas to bring to the vote sellers that I believe can make a substantial difference without killing their bottom line.
I don't comprehend your position. Why it's ok for this bot to create a focus around getting rid of bid buying when both the buyer and the seller are equally responsible for the situation. I hear you say don't hurt the seller... but what about the buyers... hurting their bottom line is ok? And getting rid of buying will infact hurt the bottom line of sellers?
I think you have identified a problem, but before trying to implement solutions, my opinion is that, we need to fully understand the market conditions that are driving this behavior and change the system. Shaming people will not work.
transparencybot is not making judgment calls just posting stats. This is simple transparency at its core.
@mulletwang I wholeheartedly agree.
