If you have used upvotebank at any point in the past, your posting authority is being abused.
It came to my attention when a user I have been flagging came to my discord and asked me to stop flagging his account.
After a bit of some back and forth, he says others are upvoting them and that it is not freedom.
In the end, I didn't agree to stop downvoting him as his posts are automated reports of token prices which everyone who cares knows where to find the prices. I also saw fishy voting patterns on the account as well as other accounts he owns.
After some research, I can see he is behind the account upvotebank which acts as a vote bot sort of service. He uses these accounts to upvote his posts to over 500 votes.
Shortly after our discussion, I had 488 flags on my most recent post within 5 minutes. Looking through them I can see they have posting authority to upvotebank.
Not only does he abuse his service to vote on his posts, but he also uses it to retaliate.
Ironically, the 488 flags added up to around 10 cents so I suspect it is a lot of old accounts that are no longer used. I scanned all the accounts and none of them have any current rewards.
You can find the full list of accounts below, I will tag everyone who is on the list. I recommend removing posting authority to upvotebank immediately if you plan on using your account.
