We already spoke about it in the informationwar Discord a long time later and you half apologised, as I recall. Though I think we later talked and you said you didn't remember.
I think it was more than one user, but the first one was thebasesproject - here's a link to a comment from one of your bots on Steem (afaik): https://peakd.com/bases/@badcontent/re-steppingstonestoawarenesswithmichaelshrimpton-sr22gc7mlb-20180807t214554
What actually happened with that account is that the large youtube archive the guy had was being imported to Hive via the Steempress import function and there was no rate limiting, so a large number was imported without any delay between them - which triggered the bot. I communicated at the time and nothing was done. I then mentioned it years later and afaik nothing was done. The account owner just left the network.
This was brought to me well after it happened and spamming the amount of posts was a reasonable and logic reason for it to be identified as a spammer.
I do remember Steempress having issues with some users and the ones identified I resolved on my end. Out of the 70k+ users I blacklisted you would be hard pressed to find 5-10 examples.
When I identified a problem I made it right but it was so rare it almost never happened. I did everything by hand and double checked everything I did.
