Having bad taste in my mouth for group promotion along with ethical concerns, I must say that @thesteemengine so far has a ... good track record. The manual votes is a big plus. I realize that it's more work that bot-mania, but it's honest work.
In reality, our closest followers and ourselves have always mutually supported each other out reciprocity and high sociology. Having it a bit more organized does not hurt.
Always remember the wrecks of others and learn from them and be a good conductor. [insert ancient Chinese gong being struck]
The train pun is noted and appreciated.
We're doing our best to be accountable to the members while maintaining high standards for where we cast our votes. I believe we've done a great job so far, and I appreciate your support of our initiative.
We hope to avoid any major derailing events, so I'll do my best to maintain our course!
