Comment farming is not a practice that Hivewatchers has any legitimacy in involving itself in. It is not fraud by any definition and is not listed in the Hivewatchers HPS proposal.

@spaminator IS downvoting accounts that have perfectly legitimate original content (I have personally checked). Something is wrong and you should be taking feedback from the community and not attacking the messenger.

I have advised that comment farming should be removed from Hivewatchers reporting forms and procedures.

As Hive's lawyer I'm formally stating that Hivewatchers is on dangerous legal ground when it asks for HPS money from the Hive community on one basis and acts in another.
