Steemit Bot Etiquette
Hello Its WEENIS. Not the bot but the guy behind weenis bot.
Id just like to take a moment to point out a few bots that are claiming to protect the steemit community, while at the same time using the worst etiquette possible.
Info on the Weenis Bot
First I should point out that weenis never posted in the same thread twice. Not unless the thread caught my attention and I visited it personally to speak with the author myself.
Secondly, the entire time that weenis was running, I was here monitoring it. It was 48 hours (ish) of on and off testing. After all it was testing I was after, not harming. Being here allowed me to monitor the bot at all times and correct any screw ups. I took it very seriously.
Weenis upvoted, posted animated gifs and gave words of encouragement. Thats it. No downvotes, no harming, no chasing specific users. It "could" record those who upvoted weenis and chase specific users however I changed that to watch categories instead.
Example of Bad Bots 
In this example you will see a legit post being commented on multiple times by a bot named @cheetah created by anyx :
This guy (or girl) is not monitoring their bot. tsk tsk
In the same example we will see the legit post being downvoted by bot @randaletouri created by @pharesim:
This person has created a downvote bot for blog posts. tsk tsk This person is also not monitoring their bot. tsk tsk again.
Monitoring your Badly Coded Bot
If they were being monitored, those downvotes would have been removed and possibly the comments deleted or fixed to reflect the mistake.

https://steemd.com/@cheetah (Has a ton of bots all voting each other up)
Incidentally it seems I may just have plagiarized from myself though...
So thats a first....
Conclusion
Weenis was an annoying bot, but again it was never ran without being monitored and it never did anything but upvote and posting encouragement along with an animated gif.
Id like to end with this. Its irresponsible to create a downvote bot especially if you are running it without monitoring it. It is irresponsible to run any bot if you arent there watching it as it bots. Downvote bots should NOT exist no matter the reason.
Your Friend,
