As some of you may have noticed, I have an argument with the imitator bot - @resteem.bot
A lot of spam was made due to that and I want it to stop.
Here is some information about the 2 bots:
| Bot | Created | Creator | Actions |
|---|---|---|---|
| @resteembot | 34 days ago | @investigation | Advertisment, Retaliation |
| @resteem.bot | 29 days ago | @flauschi (*) | Accusations (**), Spam (***) |
- * - @flauschi never admited being the creator of his bot, or if he did - I didn't see that.
- ** - he accuses me of spam, because of the volunteer bot program. You probably know it, because it is likely the way you learned of my bot.
(There are 4 active volunteer advertisment bots. One is me. The other 3 are my friends. There was a fifth one, but he has more important stuff to do with his account.)
They do indeed write unrelated comments in many posts, but they also upvote all these posts. 90% of the replies (excluding @resteem.bot's) they get are "Thank you! I will check it out."
Therefore the reason I do not take his accusations seriously is that the people being 'spammed' are thankful of it. - *** - he writes his accusation in posts that have nothing to do with me, other than being resteemed by me.
Here's how it went:
- He wrote accusation comments, insisting I stop advertising (for the crazy reason that people might think it is him, doing it)
- I tried reasoning.
- He wrote the same accusation comments, insisting I stop advertising.
- I tried ignoring.
- He wrote the same accusation comments, insisting I stop advertising.
- I tried told everyone to stop advertisement for a week, hoping he'll forget about the matter and do something else.
(Everyone needed to recharge their voting power anyway. A pause was needed.)
- I tried told everyone to stop advertisement for a week, hoping he'll forget about the matter and do something else.
- He wrote the same accusation comments, insisting I stop advertising (after that week passed)
- I tried trolling him (with this image)
The problem is - this dude is really stubborn and thick skinned.
Help me!
No, I don't want you to act against him. That would be stupid and childish.
Instead - tell me how to resolve this.
I honestly don't care if he exists or not, nor do I care where he posts, as long as he is not deliberately targeting me.
I just want him to leave me alone and do his imitation thingy by himself.
He can follow and get followed by all the fake users he wants. He can post his picture around in as big resolution as he wants.
Just to stop trying to sabotage me - the person whose idea he stole.
I want your ideas in the comments, but before that, some notes.
- I do not want to downvote him. This will waste the Voting Power I dedicated to You, my customers.
- I do not want to spam on his client's posts.
- I already tried ignoring him and it didn't work. Still... If you think that It will work if I persist longer... say that in a comment.
- I thought that if I humiliate him enough, he'll be ashamed to post more accusations. I was wrong. I don't think he knows shame. I only made him more agitated and active.
- I can simply terminate the advertisement campaign (and admit defeat) but I don't think that will stop him (because I do not believe that the advertisement is his real reason for spamming). I believe he'll just find another thing to annoy me with.
So...
