Some of us that had been here on Hive/PeakD for some time already. We managed to talk one of our friends, Carrie-Ann Baade , a highly respected Art Professor who exhibits world-wide and is listed on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrie_Ann_Baade, to join PeakD/Hive. After her first post got some upvotes, she was harassed by @hivewatchers who posted on a blocked Twitter account of hers demanding that she answer them on there. She has not used that account since January 2020 when somehow her API with Facebook was not working anymore, and she could no longer access that Twitter account.
Apparently now they blacklisted her!
This is the post: https://peakd.com/art/@carrieannbaade/representational-fantastic-exhibition-kirkland-arts-center-washington-society-for-art-of-imagination

I can personally vouch for her - and if anything, then contact her on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/carrieannbaade or on her Website https://carrieannbaade.com/ - or her Instagram https://www.instagram.com/carrieannbaade/ .

This is not just some on-line relation I have with her - we known each other personally for a decade or more and have exhibited together in many shows worldwide, and so have a list of others that are currently (some of the few) serious artists with an international reputation that are still remaining on Hive. Many I know have however turned their backs on it and gave up posting.

It is very hard to recruit serious, world-class artists to this blockchain because of such shenanigans. I have a long list of great artists that just gave up on this - and what you got left are 90% of amateurs.

She was never blacklisted.... All HW asked was for verification it was her...

she could not reply to comments, and she could not post (she wanted to post another update about herself) - her message to me and my answer on FB msgr:

This is rather cryptic - I cannot make heads or tails out of it.

@thermoplastic, the RC stuff in her message is most likely because she didn't have any Hive Power/Resource Credits to be able to do anything on the blockchain. I've just delegated a small amount to her, so she should be able to post and comment again now. 😊

And welcome to Hive, @carrieannbaade!

Thank you!! I super appreciate your help :)

You're very welcome! Be sure to shout out if you have any other questions/issues & I'd be happy to help. 😎

The error she is getting is because she does not have enough resource credits to comment or post. I delegated her some Hive Power so she shouldnt have any problems with resource credits anymore. The error message had nothing to do with Hivewatchers either...

In personal conversation just now with Carrie-Ann via Messenger, she said she was able to untangle the API connection block and access her Twitter again, which she has not used since January 2020. So she did write an answer on it.

Please stop keeping spreading lies about Hivewatchers.
The account was never blacklisted neither was it ever harassed.

So she answered - what now? It would be appropriate to apologize to her!

@hivewatchers Thank you for keeping the hive safe but this the real Carrie. I invited her to join. she is a personal friend of mine and will be a great asset to the community :)

She's verified now. Due to an extremely high amount of ID theft we have to follow up with all reports.

I am glad you spoke up - this whole mess is unreal and bears the hallmark of someone we encountered before. I fully agree with your post.

I also 100% vouch that this is the real Carrie. I was the one that suggested she get on board! She has so much to offer to the community :)

Well considering that HW never blacklisted her or downvoted her, your comments are stupid
