never promoted the bid bot

Correct, but a new user that never heard of @buildahwale will click on it and found out about your paid service. So IMO, it is somehow promoting it.

one of these reasons

Exactly, so since you did not specify which one, new users were likely thinking I was a thief or something.. not cool.

you were spamming another resteem service you were fighting with

Yes, we were spamming each other and eventually @iamstan helped me out. But you blacklisted only me, not fair. And you never said the reason of the blacklist so I find out only now 2 years later. Not nice.

Resteem services don't do anything

Well, let the users decide, no?
When I joined steemit I start using those free services myself and finally got some visibility.
I decided to keep helping others for cents. Kept doing so, invested 3 grand and never withdrew.
And I have 1 grand ready in a BTCSTEEM trade in the order book. I care about Steemit and I think that you do great things for these platforms but should improve your blacklist logistics.

And this was the bully I was fighting with...

@themarkymark
Any update on this?

I found and sent to @guiltyparties 123 leaked private keys found in the STEEM blockchain:

Am I still a scumbag or does @gasaeightyfive finally qualify for removal from your blacklist?
