Hi,

I understand your frustration, however there has 100% been bot activity providing the vast majority of the votes for the coin. For example - three users have created around 35 accounts between them, deposited a tiny amount of DGB and made a single trade, who each vote systematically 5x per hour 24hrs a day.

We will not being going back on the decision to suspend FAC for 24 hours. We will bring it back after this time period with 20% of the free votes in tact and keeping 100% of the BTC payment votes.

I'm afraid there was nothing we could do as other coins have been voting fairly, you should be directing your anger at the people who set up the bots and tried to cheat the system.

We condemn bots and hate them more than you do. We take FAC seriously and want it to have a great reputation. By all means discard every bot vote and ban those accounts forever.

But keep the legitimate votes! People here have been working hard on this. Throwing away 80% of the votes ARBITRARILY is outrageous! Let us keep the legitimate votes we worked hard to achieve.

For all we know another coin group might have used a bot on our coin just to get out of the list.
It's a great way to eliminate competition. And your system allows it. Don't punish us for it!
