RE: Steem experiment: Burn post #99
After reading the "Rules and update" post, it seems @burnpost is about flagging spam, selling SBD for STEEM to exert downward market pressure, and to eventually burn the STEEM.
My question is, has the flagging been occuring? I may simply not know the correct tool to fact check, however looking at SteemDB in the Votes section (I believe a flag is simply a vote that goes against the post), @burnpost seems to not be voting at all..
However, it's sitting at 98% voting power, rather than 100%, so for "not voting for 2 months", it must be doing something. That being said, if it was a bot flagging known bots/spammers automatically, it should be hovering around 80% voting power to constantly be maximizing its effectiveness I would think.
Can anyone shine some light on how I would validate it is doing its job against spamming? Or did I misunderstand "stop spammers and similar forms of clear abuse" to mean flagging, when it is accomplishing it some other way?
@burnpost delegates essentially all of its SP to @mack-bot, which flags spam constantly (also a smaller amount to @spaminator), leaving only a small amount of bandwidth so the account can function.

Unfortunately I don't know of a tool to show currently active delegation (without a program to use the API), but you can find the delegation actions in the transaction history for @burnpost if you search for them

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but steemreports.com has a tool for that.

Thanks for the link! That's exactly what I was looking for
Ahhh it delegates to @mack-bot. That makes a lot more sense. Thanks for the clarification. Awesome project :)
After taking a look into those bots, I decided to donate a bit of SP to them. It's not much, but I can delegate a few percent of my SP to this noble of a cause
Get over, and read it again and again......and again
