Congratulations @Patrice! Sorry for your losses, but I'm glad to see you occupying your time with big renovations.

It's in the middle of such acres of land and I can see all the broken spots you've stated that needs to be renovated, nevertheless, you've got yourself a beautiful new home, and it's quite a huge milestone.

Congrats on buying your first house! That’s very exiting. It looks really nice and it’s always nice to have some space (not right next door to another house or two) and privacy.

I like that little tiny camera! I need to get one of those as I do a lot of home repair and troubleshooting around my house.

Congratulations! Looks like it could become a sweet new home.

The house is still nice, maybe it needs a little repair to be more comfortable to be in place.

Congrats on becoming a homeowner Patrice. Sounds like your pretty handy to have around the house as well.

Sorry for the loss of your friend, I went through the same in 1999 and was his executor for his estate too.
Congrats on the house! It's adorable! I will never forget my first house purchase! It's a journey that makes life so worth living!

First off, congrats with buying a house! I really like the looks of it, but it seems like a lot of work to fix all the pipes and other problems. I'm looking forward to seeing how it goes, @patrice :)

"Neighbours are close", try living in a terraced house :p

Looks great though! :)

This is such an adorable little farm house! I love the pale orange brick. I LOVE this time period from 20's to 30s. I don't know what it is. We have tons of them in my home town and I'm dying to go and renovate them someday. I can't believe you know how to do all that stuff. I'd be at a total loss...

P.S. I DM'd you about coming on to interview on my show. I hope you can join us! I think it would be really great to have someone like you to chat with on the air.

Oh my goodness @patrice its a beautiful property I can't wait to see the before and after photos.

congratulations

Dear @patrice,
congratulations with your house, nice post to read.
I have a question for you, can you explain to me why @salahuddin2004 gets downvoted everytime he post something? Is there a way how we can solve this situation, hope to hear something from you soon.
Thank you for your reply!

Hi again,
Congrats on the new home and project.
If you need any wisdom from my 35 plus years in the construction/remodeling business just ask.

It is a pretty house I hope it gives you warmth health and many happy times.

When @lovenfreedom and I bought our house 6 years ago we had to move into the garage while we fixed it up enough for us to move into the back half.

It took us about 8 months to completely remodel it. We put a new roof, AC/heat pump, all doors, cabinets, baseboard, paint, tub, plumbing fixtures and valves, and we installed tile throughout the house.

3 of our 4 children have been born here now. We have 9.2 acres and its still much work to be done it was also abandoned and a repo.

Now that the children are getting bigger we're thinking about adding some rooms and another bathroom. It will be fun and we will post about it when we get to it.

We are happy for you we know how it feels. Did you pay cash or finance?
We had a Construction loan for the first 9 months then another loan for 3 years and now it is ours if you don't count the fact that you have to pay taxes to the county for ever.

I'm just really hoping you paid for it with SBD's or it doesn't count. LOL,
Congrats and I hope you plant a garden.

You out here buyimg houses whilst your bot downvotes people just trying to make a living.

My congratulations with your new home @patrice! Be happy there! Also I have one question! Your @mack-bot voted today on my post like on phishing links, but there are no one phishing link! Can your remove it's vote? I can prove that trere are no one phishing link!

Where is the house? which state/county?

Unsure of the beginning of your article, did you buy the house with the estate money of your friend?

Please stop downvote. I posted special posted.

@patrice
Will your bot eventually stop down-voting my every comment or is it permanent censorship?

Dear @patrice,
congratulations with your house, nice post to read.

Great house. Love the bricks. Love to be in the forest. Seems like a lot of work, but it is worth it to fix up older houses which were generally built better.

But @sakurasui seems that your account has been flagged incorrectly. She is an important member of the Japanese community.Please correct it.I think your activity is wonderful.
https://steemit.com/japanese/@sakurasui/fanny-episode

Wow I had no idea of any of this Patrice, good for you..... I have been in real estate nearly 30 yrs --- there is a lot of work there but your house looks great.

I do not know at all where you live, hope you can grow some food. I like that metal roof!!!!

I came here to find you on this actually LOL......and thank you again for all you do.

I voted for @anyx today to support him / his witness and also @neoxian as he is a neat dude and active and helping everyone. I never knew he was running for one, or I would have found a vote for him a lot sooner.

I came to review my votes and get one in for @anyx.

Sorry to bother you but this new account is out of control and I mean not just on my page.

Please have a look, it is one of the worst I have ever seen! I even warned them last nite.... they are going thru posts a year old and commenting on everything......It must be a bot or something.

Hey there I found you from your flagging account after you downvoted my post. Can you please let me know why, I can understand im my stuff isnt to your taste but the account you flagged from indicates that you are flagging spam. My posts are certainly not spam and everything created on my account is all mine and have worked very hard to get it to where it is. Can you please check it out https://steemit.com/dlive/@xr-hammergaming/ba62ec5a-846d-11e8-8ae8-0242ac110002

Have a good day.

Apparently I'm way behind on this one.. but you could invest in adjusting the slope of your patio if there is a history of issues where water reaches the house. I imagine if you redirect the water away from the house more, you would be able to keep the wood floors... unless you just prefer a tile entrance (which is definitely not a bad option).

Hi @patrice, I understand you own Mack-Bot.

This bot has has just downvoted me despite the fact my account has never posted any spam, please can you review and get back to me?

Thanks,
Nick.

Congratulations!

Hey there @patrice .... as apparently is not an isolated incident, your flagging accounts are flagging my material. I don't really care how you have them set up but it definitely needs to change considering I'm not the only one with these issues.. yesterday I spent SIX hours on a post(literally 6 hours) writing and I woke up this morning to a downvote from your bot. It didn't do much but it still sucks when I'm make about $0.12 per hour as it is. Congratulations on buying a home, help out the little guys and change your bots.

I want to ask you why you keep flagging me?
Would you like to explain my sin?
Do I make something wrong as a steemit user?

I really hope you like to answer my question.
Thank you in advance for your explanation.

Best Regards,

Congratulations on buying the property, it looks great. I'm sure now, 3 Months later, you're all settled and happy with it.

I would like to introduce myself, I'm @idikuci and I'm one of the leaders of #comedyopenmic. I believe we have a number of friends in common on Steem. Firstly I'd like to say sorry for bringing @mack-bot down to 1.99% VP, might have even dropped to 0%, I'm not sure but I haven't seen that, lowest VP I've seen is 1.99%.

I'd like to explain a few things and hope you will bear with me while I go about it. I promise I will try have a point as soon as I can.

4 months ago (I promise I'll speed to the present soon) I posted in utoptian.io outlining v1 of a bot that would help the comedyopenmic community account maximise it's payout to try and keep out little community contest going and stop out VP from ever hitting 100%.

Link here: https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@idikuci/community-account-vp-control

There's not much there other than what I wrote above. Now, the VP bot will only work if it has something to upvote, a post or comment. In the start it wasn't an issue but as the contest has grown we've had difficulty giving the bot enough comments because we spend less and less time with the community account and more time working on the admin stuff to try keep the contest growing. To counteract this I've started working on a bot that will make it's own comment if one isn't available to upvote. That's what you saw in my post. Naturally with new code I wasn't about to test the code on a 40,000 SP community account before I was sure it was working, so I usually test the code on my account, then on a couple of other accounts then finally when I'm 100% happy I use it on the community account.

The community account still uses the original code even though I've had 4 versions since then.

I would have liked to explain all this to you but you put me on your list and disappeared.

What really bothers me on Steem is when people indiscriminately try to mute people in Steem from having any kind of voice. I don't think it's an appropriate use of resources or a good way to interact with other people. When I saw your comment specifying "comment farming" I thought that your bot would actually target comment farming. but no, it targets any and every comment and post I make, irrespective of whether or not I was comment farming. and you mention in your comment that if I stop you will take me off the list. Well, I did stop like I said I was testing the code, which btw, is buggy so pretty much what you saw is the total sum of upvotes that I got. Now if I want to say something I have to upvote myself due to your bot. Seems a serious waste of resources. You have 250,000 SP and get stopped with 10 lines of code.

Having seen the issue that allowed me to bring Mack's VP to 1.99% (while mine remains at 100%) I'd like to offer you my services to amend your existing code and enable it to stop itself being lead down the garden path by a curious smart arse. This is a genuine offer to help if you want it, if not that's ok too. Here is what I believe you should do:

• You have 7 days to flag content, there is no need to stream the blocks and spend 1 core just to flag people.
• create a cron job that executes every Y hours (I suggest 6->12 hours).
• When the bot wakes up, loop through the black list and check comments and posts
• Anyone on black list who comments on posts and self upvotes more than x% (I think 80% is a good target) you flag them but only if above the dust threshold.
• When looking at posts and comments only look at them in the range of 5.5days -> 6days or 6days -> 6.5 days. The goal is to stop profiteering not necessarily to censor people.
• You can even set up the bot to have different voting thresholds for different people. e.g. set it to 0% and flag everything. but only if above the dust threshold.

By doing this it should save you some CPU time and will save you a lot of VP. Even this has holes and can be gamed but it becomes much harder.

my code, not to demonstrate how good I am, My code isn't very good, but to show you what it took to get mack to 1.99% VP:

from beem import Steem
from beem.nodelist import NodeList
from beem.comment import Comment
import time
import sys
import os
sys.path.append(os.path.abspath('../keys'))
from idikeys import Posting_Key as posting_key

accountname = 'idikuci'
Failover_path = "@idikuci/don-t-be-nervous"
Failover_msg = "Giving Mack Bot Something to Flag, so he's not lonely"

nodes = NodeList()
nodes.update_nodes()
upvoter = Steem(node=nodes.get_nodes(), keys=[posting_key])
failover_post = Comment(Failover_path,steem_instance=upvoter)

while True:
  try:
    failover_post.reply(Failover_msg,author=accountname)
    time.sleep(41)
  except: 
    print("Error in voting")

Looks like I was wrong earlier, it's more than 10 lines, sorry.

Anyway, Have a good day.

hi @patrice / Patricia,

just dropping you a quick message to clear up some misunderstanding.

i think you might have flagged idikuci thinking he was comment farming, which i think generally means anyone who is commenting only for the sole purpose of self-upvoting

he wasn't, he's one of the developers for a community of clowns and joker and he's been commission to update the community bot comedyopenmic (we have a number of bot, for welcome, for notifying judges, for updating our excel data for calculating scores ) to create a comment when it's voting power is at 100% to utilized the upvote so the earning can be used for prizes.

as you can see from his delegation, he has given away a majority of his SP for community use, nobody who is comment farming for self benefit would do this, he's one of the good guys who's building up the Steem ecosystem

here is what COM has done since launching in the first 20 rounds (we're in round 24 now), it's all a bunch of international volunteers, giving their time to help build retention for Steem, increase the quality of post, the number of Curie won per entry per tag speaks for itself, and the one of the highest earning per tag since it's conception with almost 99% upvote bot free earning, i think this is clearly at false positive trying to identify a pure comment farmer

hii plz dont flag my posts i am depending on steemit only its my heart plz remove flaging from mac-bot plz plz plz

Hi, turn off the mack-bot from @rashkin.dima. Thank you.

@patrice, By stupidity and ignorance, I got on the bot's black list. Please remove me from the blacklist, I follow the policy of steemit. I do not speculate on payments, I just write. It's a pity to throw a resource ... This is a misunderstanding ...

Dear @patrice. And what do I do now? How do I get my reputation back? How to quit the bot bot? Please, tell me.

In other words you either found a terminally ill person to live with until you inherited his possessions, or helped him die in one way or another and then you had the money to buy a new house.
Typical patrice.

Oh, what shall I do? Please help me relieve the robot. Thank you.

Hello, my blog, stepped on by your robot mack-bot, see my reply, please help deal with it, thank you very much.

Dear @patrice. And what do I do now? How do I get my reputation back? How to quit the bot bot? Please, tell me.
Have you seen it? My posts are original. I don't know why. I was trampled by the robot. Please help cancel it. Thank you.

@patrice，Do you see comments? Can you solve it?

Dear @pactrice. Hope you are doing well.
This user @cherryzz got downvote everytime she made a post or reply to a post.
I checked her posts, there weren't anything wrong with the posts.
Can you investigate this and remove the flag from her account? Thanks a lot.

Hello @patrice,

This comment is off topic but I was wondering if you would consider removing me from any of the anti-spam accounts that I have been placed on such as @mack-bot. I now understand that front running upvotes to curate sp is not considered appropriate.

Thanks for your consideration.

@naegling11

@patrice / @mack-bot why am I on your flag list?

I've seen you downvote my comments that I leave on my subscribers posts.
I leave that very small and generic comment on the accounts that are subscribed to my Resteem Subscription Service as opposed to the huge self promoting comments that other resteemers leave when an user uses their service - see for instance here.

And the reason for the low rep is explained here.

Please get back to me.
Thanks

No wonder you bought a house with all the self upvotes you give yourself

I'm at a loss, please explain why you put the flag on my post - https://steemit.com/monomad/@cranium/monomad-photography-contest-balloons-against-the-background-of-a-cloudy-sky-d993345f980d4est? This is my original picture for a contest of black and white photos on the theme of the sky?

Hello Patrice, this may be off comment for this post,. I noticed down vote each time I posted from @mack-bot, I regret any form of plagiarism that I endorsed in and plead to be taken off the bot's down vote list .

hello, sir please remove from mac-bot. i am real user.

hello.....@patrice Sir I am tanisa.

Please help me somebody naned @mack-bot. @mack-bot continiously giving me downvote without any reason. please please help me.

you can check here also @tanisa

Sir I am from a poor family and I need some pocket money. That's why I contact a group of my entire friends. and I told them to upvote my all post till my reputation gone 50. After that I will be alone and If my content claims that its good then some steemians will upvote me or not. I mean totally my luck. meanwhile your bot @mac-bot starting downvoting me. please help me and remove me from that list. I promise I will not take support from my friends if my reputation gone up.

Sir it is a matter of sorrow that a little bit earlier your bot again cracked our communities another two id named @akazad, @tahia

Sir, For God's shake please do something.... we all are in depressed. Please make us survive.
