STEEMAUTO - Two New Features and How I Will Start Using Them

Big shout out to @MahdiYari who is the programmer behind SteemAuto. He has worked very hard on this at my request. Please, go vote for his witness and look at his latest request on utopian.io (he wants a new homepage)

Which Features I Requested and Why?

At this point, I'm getting at least 100 comments per post. Many of them by very loyal followers and fans...more than anything I want to support them and help them get as much SP as possible. At this point, I'm at least 3 articles behind when it comes to upvoting the good comments in it.

So I have to partially automate my comment upvoting while keeping a close eye on people who would want to abuse it.

Feature 1: Knowing Who My Real Fans Are

Right now those fans are:
@ryankofi, @kerdan, @steemit-arabia, @fermond, @mhmegh, @thethreehugs, @himshweta, @videogeek, @mahdiyari, @raj1511, @sr944, @damzxyno, @jaka87, @leyebiz, @fitzgibbon, @gardeningabc, @marshalllife, @investor7, @franklin92, @nadabrahmasounds, @njokuoluchukwu, @cryp2me, @driftingvoice, @arcjen02, @traba-emo, @opportunity4u, @bluetechno, @tronthetechie, @samiwhyte, @cinelonga, @chieppa1 , @jasonshick, @phgnomo, @rival, @gauttam, @underground, @diana01, @valth, @leahlei, @amoshaley, @clweeks, @fishyculture, @acdevan, @shencoin, @madlenfox, @robrowe, @hornblende, @droucil, @stackin, @regards, @steemitpatina, @wdougwatson, @kingyus, @olyup, @romaincrx, @slider2990, @aboutyourbiz, @shreetbn, @adnanrabbani, @bitland, @fabiocola

Thanks for all of you and for your support. You are my inner circle and the people that I want to help the most. Most of you do not have much SP and my goal that is through genuine interaction with you and my upvotes that you can make the most out of your experience on the Steem Blockchain.

You can become a fan by signing-up to SteemAuto and then add me to your fans.

Which leads to the second feature...

Feature #2: Auto-Upvote on Comments

As I said, I don't want to miss an upvote on the comments of my fans while simultaneously prevent abuse. This is why I still review my comment section to make sure spammers and abusers are punished.

SteemAuto allows now for you and I to make a list of people we want to auto-upvote in our comment section!

How I will use this

For those of you who are my fans. I will manually curate a list of people that I consider "TRUE FANS".

My "TRUE FANS" are:

1. Those who added themselves to my SteemAuto Fans
2. Those of you who have a track record of being genuinely engaged commenters

I have systems in place to see if someone would abuse. If I get messages that could not be differentiated from a bot or comments that do not add to the discussion, I will take that account off the list and maybe even put on my auto-flag list. I don't want spammers in my comment section.

Rolling it out...

I'm testing this and I'm going to start with a 2% upvote for now.(about $1.20 or $7.80 after SBD conversion) As soon as I am sure that it's working well, I will up it to 4% ($2.40 or $15.60 after SBD conversion)

It may take a little bit of time for me to manually enter and review everyone on my fan list but I will try to get it done quickly. Sorry if you are not being automatically voted right away. There may also be bugs to be worked out on that feature...so please be patient.

Conclusion
