Well some down voting is just hateful and mean. And some of the guys with lots of sp are bullies.
At steemflagrewards we just want to clean up the garbage and its not about the people its about the long term viability of the platform. Many people just don't realize how much is going on here or who is behind what. I was that way and now after being here for almost a year I still am learning every day. Some things I don't think we will ever figure out. Because of the many accounts that are smart and anon.
But if you take some time dig in to the steemd 's and the steemdb 's of many of these accounts you will learn a lot.
Let me give you some examples to dig in @steemit @misterdelegation @fulltimegeek @transisto @nextgencrypto @smooth @freedom @pumpkin most of these guys own so many accounts you will never realize how much steem they actually hold. It would be wise not to be rude or hateful twards them because with a few clicks you could end up with an invisible account.
Then there are the badger accounts the jamesc accounts and many more. There is so much mystery and intrigue its hard not to dig all the time.
Try to make your own way. Find a group to join and get involved. Don't just copy another guys MO create your own.
I am not sure what has been the issues you were dealing with. When I stumbled onto this conversation I was just running around Upvoting @jplaughing s comments. He is one of the abuse fighters and moderators from @steemflagrewards.
