Yo @themarkymark, that's great, you put an end to shitbags such as @nuovisa and his/her many aliases. Sad to say buddy but there are way bigger arseholes than this dude. When is someone going to put a stop to @grumpycat or @transisto and his bitch @newsflash. These bastards upvote 5 word comments to over 200 SBD. How about @ranchorelaxo and the scam he/she is pulling. Then there is this idiot @berniesanders, hogging trending with stupid rants. There are many more. I have been on Steemit less than than a week and these dumb fucks are shitting on the Steem platform image.
This is not the sort of crap big investors want to see if they plan on bringing serious cash to the platform. You and your other witnesses need to sort this shit soon.
I am powerless against anything at that level. I can only address why I have control of. Steemit ya spoken they are perfectly fine with all that. I’m just trying to do what little I can do to make the place better than when I got here.
On the other hand this isn’t a witness responsibility. It is the community, a witnesses job is the blockchain itself, producing blocks and maintaining a price feed and a few other things. Many of us care but many aren’t even here anymore and just come by to collect rent.
Thanks for your response. Anything positive is better than nothing. Regards to the community. I might be wrong but it looks like 99% are close to completely powerless. Witnesses on the other hand, seems like you guys have exposure that regular dudes don't. If you want the community to act, maybe they need to be incited just a little.
In regards to those heavily invested, a clean image is essentially to longevity. You seem like a good guy. Maybe you can get the wheels rolling on something.
I try doing things all the time but I have very limited power.
sounds like we need to bring the brute squad
Yea there IS something "fishy" no pun intended with some of the whales here powering other whales and collecting rent, it definitely makes new users very discouraged. Id love to see a list of people that are ACTUALLY GOOD contributors trying to help people over WHALES that are not.
