Love em or hate em voting bots are part of our community. I've been selling my votes to minnowbooster and have done a post about my experience right HERE.
Today my wife tried to boost one of my posts and was refunded with a message indicating that I have been blacklisted!
Wow! What could I have possibly done to get blacklisted by a community that I support?
Well I'll tell you what I can.
The message indicated that I could appeal on the minnowbooster discord channel so off I go to see what we can do.
Not much apparently.
I was advised that I have been "flagged as a plagiarist".
Really?
Question: Have you taken a look at my Blog?
Answer: "sorry this plagiarisms reason is copied over from 3rd parties, who don't reveal their sources to us."
So, just like youtube deletes channels, minnowbooster blacklist users AND supporters just because someone somewhere said they did something. No investigation, no evidence....sounds like a government organization to me.
Look, if I did something wrong fine (although I can't for the life of me think of what, as anything from outside of my head includes sources and links), but at least have the decency to show some evidence of the crime committed.
Even their ToS indicate they will warn you.
Look at my wallet....no warnings.
Well I am sure it won't hurt them but I stopped selling minnowbooster my vote because they have handled this like a corporation - sorry, I don't know and can't help you, have a nice day.
I don't expect a resolution -- you can go to discord yourself and see the "appeal" conversation.
Thanks all, just wanted to share my disappointment of the community with the community.
Boo minnowbooster....
