To be fair, if you have no clue what you are doing at all, there is little point in operating a witness node in the first place, as the main job of a witness really is keeping Hive intact.
I only started because there were witnesses in high ranks, who publicly displayed their own incompetence and I thought: I can at least learn and at least would do something productive with the rewards.
I quit, when I saw enough witnesses to vote for, who actually knew what they were doing.
Today, I see the same problem again, so I will step up again.
Übrigens dachte ich du ignorierst mich seit ich arcange für dreistes Votekaufen geflaggt hatte. Etwas wofür halt jeder Neuling direkt schwer auf den Deckel gekriegt hätte...
Hast mich aber anscheinend überlesen und ich hab das falsch gedeutet.

I once heard it should be possible to do this even without an IT background. But anyway.
Ich bin nicht so nachtragend, bin ja außerdem mit arcange nicht befreundet, und votekaufen ist ja auch nicht OK.
HiveBuzz asking for an upvote on (only) one of its posts was to be able to automate badge attribution and filter out bots' comments. I didn't care about the downvote and saw no reason for a drama.
The rules should apply to everyone; newbies get into trouble for things like that.
btw the funny part was: I got a badge nonetheless, because you only checked for votes and didn't filter out the ones with negative weight. Kind of ironic.
I agree though: no need for drama.
Thanks for taking it lightly.
Saint Nicholas can be ironic and kind. Hence why you got its badge ;)
Without an IT background or the ability and drive to learn, how would one ever be able to protect the Hive blockchain, at all?
At least I have a drive to learn.
Of course in an emergency situation I would need to look how others do, but I thought it is at least already good to have one additional copy of the blockchain running. In Austria there are not too many.
You can provide another copy of the blockchain by operating a seed node.
