Ah.... forgotten about bots. Yeah, that could be an issue. If you're someone who has a fleet of bots supporting you (or even just a few, really) then you wouldn't want to jeopardize that or be seen as taking advantage of that.

I think the picture I'm getting for most of us is that unless you're someone who plans on using the platform fairly regularly and already have a decent amount of votes per post (and some confirmed bots) it doesn't really matter and isn't worth it to start a new account.

I suppose for someone like yourself it makes sense if you plan on using it fairly regularly.

Hmm... I'm tabling the discussion for myself until I see what the Steemit devs do and what happens as far as an Android Zappl app. Without that the point is moot for me, anyway, as that's where I feel the real value of that platform will be - mobile.
