MinnowBooster : Abuse Cases Defined

Hey there, @techblogger here with an important announcement about policy changes in regard to abuse cases with @minnowbooster. We would like to restate our committment to making Steem the best blockchain ever created and our sincere desire to assist the Steem community in every way possible. So, with that in mind we would like to formally announce that we will be closing loopholes that have allowed some users to abuse our system, upvoting posts that are either plagiarised or too short to be considered valuable contributions.

As of today we will be taking new measures to eliminate inappropriate use of our service. Abusers be warned, a new policy is being put in place and if you continue to upvote content that violates our TOS, we will be removing your upvote and declining a refund payout.

What constitutes abuse of @minnowbooster?

Using multiple accounts to post duplicate content and purchasing MB upvotes for all of them.
Upvoting posts with MB that are written in a copy / paste style.
[Edit] Using a MB vote for very short or repetitive content. Length is subjective, but 150 words is a good safe guideline, however original art, photography, video and animations will be exempt from the 150 word guideline.
Please use discretion in upvoting posts, using a small MB upvote for short content may be okay under some circumstances but think about the content you are upvoting and decide based on the criteria we have laid out.

What is @minnowbooster's new policy in dealing with abuse?

Users who violate our TOS regarding upvotes will face the following consequences:

1.) Your post will be unvoted by Minnowbooster
2.) You will not receive a refund for the original upvote.

It is our hope that this new policy will eliminate abuse of @minnowbooster and create a more fair and logical enviornment for Steem community members to thrive and prosper. Together we will continue to make Steem a viable alternative to other social networking sites and a world-class blockchain and cryptocurrency.

Thanks for your understanding and support. We also welcome any helpul feedback to assist us in defining our abuse parameters or just to generally improve our service. Tips and reports of abuse content are welcome to be submitted in our abuse channel on our Discord Server
