haha, nice you kept that spot. Really appreciate it!
I will have to see about the vote bot. It is not a traditional bid bot. I wrote it first as a gift/tip bot where you could only send gifts to other users. But that can be abused and only lead to multiple accounts or friends sending gifts to each other, so I changed it to reduce complexity. Perhaps with a proper support system for the whitelist, it might be possible to manage this to prevent self-votes.
The whitelist will take a lot of work to manage, but perhaps it is doable in a community like MSP, where there is already a system in place to deal with registration checks and blacklist management.
