I [removed about $820 USD in rewards](https://steemit.com/plagiarism/@themarkymark/plagiarist-with-multiple-usd600-posts-should-i-remove-our-vote-or-just-blacklist) from his posts but he still stands to walk away with $2,800 in post rewards.

I removed all votes from my bot, blacklisted him from further abuse, and tried to raise awareness but he's got a nice payday coming.

They was directed at me in this case, but fortunately, she was sadly mistaken, but I stand by my response.

Who doesn't, me?

If you think that, you haven't really paid attention to me.  Show me a bot owner doing what I am.  I've been writing daily [Curation Digests](https://steemit.com/curation/@buildawhale/buildawhale-curation-digest-02-16-18) for 6 months trying to encourage and promote quality content, and have been reporting over 1000 of users to SteemCleaners.  I am now blacklisting myself at 20-50 a day.

I have done it in past, and I took shit for it, so I wanted to confirm it was the right decision.

All votes from @buildawhale and @upmyvote have been removed.  I hope other Bot Owners consider the same.  The user is blacklisted and joins our [exclusive club](https://steemit.com/buildawhale/@buildawhale/4eexgp-buildawhale-blacklist-update)

But hey, tell me more about what I don't have the balls to do.

I do appreciate the chance to show off my talent to select wildly appopriate gifs though.
Sorry to interrupt your Dmania memes, carry on.
