Why does there seem to be a higher propensity for something to go wrong when you need it not to? You may have noticed today (If you're lucky enough to be a voter of witness) that there were automatic upvotes on your posts. You may have also noticed that it merrily upvoted and commented on your comments as well. I created 3 bots yesterday on a 36hr coding binge and apparently goofed on one of the scripts. This bot in particular had the task to automatically upvote posts made by anyone who has voted
as witness. The bot apparently mistook comments as "posts" and started to upvote EVERY comment as well. As you can imagine, this is something that could become quite frustrating and down right annoying. I've reprimanded the bot and put him in a corner for now. However, I'd still like to finish it and test it because I want to do this for my supporters. I've moved the robot account to
as he apparently doesn't want to play well with other scripts either. I appreciate you guys who reached out and gave a heads up about the bot malfunctioning today. Your feedback was well appreciated. The bot constructor was pretty straight forward and simple. If someone votes for
as witness, then upvote every POST they make. Not comments too! Currently we have about 35 witness votes (probably a lot less now due to this mishap). Just know that I feel indebted for your support and would like to extend my greatest and most sincere apology. I really wanted this to work so that I can show my appreciation for you guys support. The bot will return soon with different rules so please stay tuned for more updates regarding that. The bot also says "I'm sowwy"
