Hey Steemians,
It started a few months ago when spaminator hit the first downvote on my post. I just neglect it for that time then again next day spamintor downvoted my another post, and this happened regularly. Then I go to the spaminator steemit page and ask why they are downvoting my post but they didn't reply to me at all. Then I ask them every day and they didn't reply.
I felt frustrated for every day seeing those downvotes, then I finally decided to leave steemit, but... but... when I post that "I'm leaving" lots of steemians are commented on my post that don't leave steemit. Then I finally decided I can't give up like this, then I again go to their post, discord channel, steem chat: help, general. steemit abuse and spaminator etc.
Finally, I got lots of reply from the spaminator that they removed me from the blacklist and not only me, but they also removed everyone's from the blacklist who reply on their post and they told us what we did wrong.
My only mistake is to use automation and clever bot and I feel guilty. I will never do this again.
