'Technically' how? There isn't an 'official rule against it'. There aren't any official rules at all, other than what the blockchain does, which is money-follows-votes.
If people don't like it, they can vote otherwise, comment about it, post about it, etc. But when this sort of response becomes hostile and negative, then some of us are going to consider the response to be abusing the system as much or more.
The system is more than the code. It's more than the blockchain.
It's the people in it.
People befriended or at least identified with msgivings because she was saying some powerful stuff.
Look at my response to her abortion post. I NEVER open up like that. Whoever was behind the account found a powerful author who could make people feel stuff.
People formed an emotional connection with a non-existant entity. But what's worse about this is that there was a real entity a real person or persons behind the account. So where did that emotional investment go? It disappeared in a puff of smoke when she did.
Frankly, I want whatever author(s) behind @msgivings to know they reached a deep emotional place inside of people. Even me and I don't usually leave myself open and vulnerable like that.
All these people talking like they're mad? She touched a lot of people and they're really just mad she wasn't the person they thought she was.
The system is designed to be subjective and emotional. Exploiting the emotions of others in order to gain a financial advantage is all I mean by abusing the system.
Frankly she could come back tomorrow, say "I'm sorry guys I didn't mean to trick you. I was paying for content to be written. The thoughts and topics were mine but I paid for quality writing so everyone could enjoy it because I'm not that good of writer. Then I bolted when I found that someone I paid to write had plagiarized cuz it freaked me out."
I'll bet you that post would be the highest rated post for the entire day, probably the whole week.
