@someonewhoisme I understand this got caught in a whales war... but man !
The post you downvoted is an educational initiative to help and facilitate minnows start their journey with Steem... the platform you are supposed to be the guardians of!
This is a very bad signal for the users we are helping get onboard.
I conceive just fine that you are doing this by principle (and retaliation) and that the monetary incentive you just destroyed means very little to you. However this projet takes a lot of time and energy... reducing the post values to zero is extremely depressing... and raises questions about the purpose of the very idea to bring people to Steem in the first place.
I hope you will be able to solve this issues without hurting other users in the future.
I feel very bad about this, I have discussed with @roxane in steemit.chat and told her that I was really sorry. I will probably compensate her for the flags when/if this get resolved.
Be aware that @mindhunter has had dozens of educational post downvoted, @newsflash @transisto has been flagging this account for well over a week now and retaliation is the only recourse I have left.
Money is not the problem here... I do not really care about the 30 $... it's what it represents. It is all about the attitude. You took us hostage in your fight.
I have not clue about the @mindhunter situation, he might be doing some good things... no idea. All I know is that @transisto fights against different kind of abuse. I do not know him, but I know he takes time to explains the reason behind a downvote.
This is also the approach we have with this educational project : we explain how Steem works on the technical level, we promote the etiquette, share tips and tools, we organise Steem meetups. This is meant for everyone to be able to join the Steem community feeling confident.
I feel people like you should help us promote Steem, instead of fighting each other. Seeing this makes me sad. You say that this is the last resort you have, what resort do you left me with ?
I do not know, I kinda like it here usually.
Well, maybe... but I would like to express what I feel/think
I decide to stay because I truly believe there is something special happening here.
I hope we can still agree on that.
I don't know to much about what is going on here but I grateful for the support you have thrown my way from time to time. It is recognized and appreciated.
