There is a large amount of responsibility that should be taken when deploying a bot on Steemit that is clearly not being taken. I followed your posts about being erroneously on a "blacklist" and how it took a good amount of time for you to dig in, go through the channels to track down the bot owner and finally get removed from the list. This is not right. You should not have to go deal with a "glitch" in someone's bot because the owner is careless in their deployment. I got a downvote last night (albeit on a month old post) on a post regarding my views on a news story at the time. The downvote came from a bot account created last month called @steembotalpha and its mission according to its page is "I downvote tolls!!". Now, I would like this bot to tell me how a post (not a comment) could in any way be viewed as "trolling" and further I would like this bot owner to tell me how down voting my post could NOT be viewed as trolling.
If this is a glitch, fine but time to take ownership. Responsibility is truly lacking on this platform at the moment and it is truly a shame.
