I cast the downvote with @ocdb, it was because of the rancho votes landing often and your content in general getting overrewarded, doesn't matter if you're a community leader. As you can see from the chain, I first downvoted your post about to be paid out and then this one after checking how many rancho votes you've been getting lately due to your posts often being on trending. I noticed the downvote someone had placed on your latest post when casting the 2nd downvote and when I saw this comment I honestly wish I had downvoted you more as this retaliation to a new small user from someone who's been doing well on Hive for a long time and constantly been trending is truly dispicable. On top of the last warning I had to issue you not to self-vote the @poshtoken comments to then find out you're doing this, it is very hard for me not to see your activity here as just attempting to maximize rewards "at any cost". Really disappointed.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
I am sorry for everything.
I have behaved like an imbecile and, in truth, I deserve your repudiation.
I hope to make amends in the future and I have written my sincere apologies to the aggrieved person.
I can only feel ashamed and I can only promise that it will not happen again in the future.
Trust me, it happens in the heat of the moment, downvotes are still very stigmatised and people still overreact to them and it brings out the worst in them. I just hope you realize why the initial downvotes happened and why acting like this to random people who may downvote them cause they feel it's overrewarded shouldn't be something we should punish but embrace. Without downvotes this place isn't going to scale and post rewards remain in the realm of reality for high earners.
I fully understand what you mean. There are some actions I have taken from the gut and passionately within the chain that have gotten me into trouble. In this case the following happened: I always expect an explanation in my content, because I give them (the explanations) when I give downvotes (it has been a mental question of reciprocity, which I now understand as childishness).
And I assume the corrections made to me from the moderation that should exist here... I am not against downvotes and I will never be, because I perfectly understand the reason for their existence.
The aggrieved person has been very courteous with me to receive my apologies and not only I have lifted the downvote but he has received two 100% votes for the inconvenience.
I hope someday in the future, I will be able to regain your trust in some way. If there is anything you feel I should do to make amends, feel free to let me know.
Thank you.
I respect people that leave comments when they downvote, but I also respect those who understand that it's not always needed (when you get as much rewards as you do, that's why I don't always leave comments with @ocdb because often it should be obvious as to why). Some (especially new members like here) may even do it by accident as it seems happened here which only makes you look worse for retaliating. The other day I saw a new member leave 8 downvotes with nice comments about the posts as she clearly didn't know she was hitting the wrong button, it's just sad if someone would react in a retaliatory way even if the downvotes were on purpose. Anyway, thanks for explaining your side, in general I have 0 tolerance over retaliation downvotes and would keep it in mind in the future but not going to do that with you as you understood why that's bad, not many do.
Precisely, the reason why I am so embarrassed is because he explains that he did it by accident. Sometimes I think these things happen to learn more.
In my case, next time I will just ask before take any action.
And I feel, truth be told, that your position is quite clear, so if people don't understand you it's because they don't want to, simple.
Thanks again.
