RE: @Grumpycat answers @Wackou, (Grumpycat picture inside)

I will be very respectful now, because you show me respect..

Sir/Ma'am, to my knowledge there is no more nor any less garbage on posts promoted by any single bot - to prove so in any case would be a monumental task because one has to decide on what is 'garbage'. This is a decentralized system meaning that you or I and everyone else gets to decide individually without targeting anyone based on which bot they use or what content they produce, or what comments they flagged.. the flag isn't a punishment for anything except something directly related to the post itself. Targeting all people who have a green icon or all people who have used bot-x is simply unreasonable and unfair. Your assumption (that sneaky-ninja posts are all garbage) is with good intention, but without any support in evidence. On this question of defining 'garbage'. If you can say you read my post and found it objectionable, or without value, i can not object.

AFAIK @sneaky-ninja makes a decided effort to control the quality of posts - he/she has a blacklist as well which is updated regularly and transparently so. Others do as well, and other do not.

As to who pays you:
You get a free pass, sir/ma'am - you get to post duplicate comments and upvote them yourself.. several in a day. this is profitable for you. Also, you victimize people who are posting good content or bad content, in the same way. Your 'campaign' sir, I think, is misguided but it has amounted to everyone except @the-resistance standing up and saying 'no more spam comments - we downvote the comment so you don't get the payment'. Now, we are within our rights because your comment is spam: it doesn't related to the content of the post at all. I also have reservations flagging your comment anyway, because sometimes your comment appears below junk content.. but once again, the comment is not related and I believe you haven't read the post. If someone else leaves spam, i flag it too. One time @themarkymark came and flagged an unrelated post of mine because I flagged his spam left by a bot. I agree with what you and he may be trying to do, but I believe your common method of flag abuse, is essentially wrong, with all respect to your best intentions.

Mark does not upvote his own comments and he also runs a manual effort to scan things - i am sure he also reviews his decisions. Of course, these are great things too. In that regard, he is doing exactly what all of us ought to be doing - curating responsibly.
