I think buying and selling votes should be legal.
Perhaps it is only discriminatory. TO be fair it would be hard for you to go after every single promoted post but it seems like the bots could do that.
I support the upvotes and downvotes but I also support fairness. I think a bidbot promoted post could be overvalued but I think it could also be undervalued.
Same with groups like OCD. I think their votes could also overvalue some posts and they seem very discriminatory in their downvotes.
Value is always subjective. Some people with high vote weight can strongly influence the payout on posts one way or the other based on their subjective valuation of the content. Paying to get votes exacerbates this matter and makes it a real problem, though.
What is with your obsession with legality? Legality does not define morality. I am not calling for someone to issue a decree forbidding or permitting anything here. I am saying, just as one individual to another, that what you have been doing to distort the reward pool is not cool.
You have called me a thug and a nazi in response, and continue to make irrelevant replies.
