Critical Update! Abusers will be punished!

A few users thought they could game our system. They figured out a way to delegate the majority of their Steem Power away from their account signed up with us and still get credit for this. One particular user Hive account@suggeelson we have to call out personally! They asked us to endorse them for witness months ago which we did, only to violate our trust by delegating 3,993.093 or their total 4,231.898 SP! They were gaining credit for nearly 4,000 SP they were not giving back to the pool! This is why you may notice a slight drop in the total pool's SP.

Thanks to our critical update we now are able to determine when a user is delegating our their SP and NOT credit them for it.

EVERY user who was gaming us will be dropped to 0 or 1 Shadow Rank! Those who SHOULD have told us and known better will go to 0 rank.

IF you are effected and believe you were unfairly penalized you may either power up your account (or revoke your delegated SP) OR you must plead your case to us and we will determine what the fate will be.

Thank you to all the GREAT steemians and casters who DID NOT try to abuse our system. We work together to learn and earn! ANY user that takes more than their fair share is not in this system for the right reason and is not welcome with us!

Thank you to everyone who helped identify and track these things down!

PS. You know who you are, you know what you did, you run a witness and should have told us this was going on. We will not support abusers! Play fair or leave!
