Many people have more than one account on steemit, it is not against the rules from what I have been told, mind you I have been here less than one year, so I could be wrong on that account. Bots and the use of bots is not against the rules. Buying of votes is not against the rules, selling of votes is not against the rules. Voting for yourself or your friends is not against the rules. Is it really abuse if it is not against the rules? If people are so upset about all the vote bots and vote buying/selling the solution is for all the people to stop using them. If people want different rules, then find and vote for a witness that you believe will try to "fix" things, or run for witness yourself to try and effect a change. If it is allowed it is not abuse of the system. Most of the real abuse is from scammers and hackers that try and take control of a person's account, or downvote people to less that 25 REP because they got pissed off at a comment they made.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
So wait if i make 100 accounts and make them all autoupvote me no one will care?
Then why are people who make scripts to find such accounts or last minute upvoters and downvote them?
Why are people pissed at @haejin then? No one is doing anything against the rules right? His friend is just voting for him... daily...
If you think this site will surpass Facebook or the other social media then i got a bad news for you... no one would come and stay here when they see that 90% of the profits goes to the same people. I could bring a huge part of my audience here but it seems like its pretty much a waste of time if you are looking at making a living from the author rewards. Im just here because if find it interesting.
Thats a really terrible way of thinking. I can give you examples of countries where women are property and its allowed by the system but that doesnt mean the system is not shit.
As far as i know people keep doing it to people who they dissagree with and thats still not against the rules. Echo chambers because of the fear of flags are really strong here.
They make them because they can, and downvoting for disagreement on reward payout is part of steemit.
Some are flagging him for what they feel are excessive Rewards, and have been since the start. To the best of my knowledge, (and I do not follow it closely), they have not tried to decrease his reputation at all, only the rewards portion and it has been that way from the beginning. And no neither Haejin, nor his friend are doing anything against the rules, and the people down voting him are doing nothing against the rules either.
Reference Facebook, I really don't care what people on facebook think, or don't think. Anyone trying to live off of steemit, had better be real good at what they do, and like any other business be careful about not pissing their customer base off, and I doubt the percentage of people making a living off of facebook exceeds the amount of people making a living off of steemit.
This type of abuse you mentioned is not the kind of abuse we are talking about here. It has nothing to do with the perceived abuse on steemit. There is no physical harm to people on steemit from what you see as abuse, and if you are comparing the abuse here to real life actual physical abuse of people then I feel extremely sorry of you, because you have just demeaned all those people that face real abuse through real life situation by comparing their abuse to the perceived abuse conducted on steemit. And I find that "Morally reprehensible" on your part. Any one that would compare the abuse that so many women have to suffer because of their society, or because of the actions of a man or another woman are a person I need not ever meet. And on that note, continue on with your life, enjoy or don't enjoy steemit, because I will no longer see your post or misguided ideas of what abuse is. No need to respond to this post, I will not see it. You reached mute level by trying to compare the abuse of a woman to the perceived abuses on steemit that cause no harm at all.
apparently it also is not abuse to flag someone for a comment they made. that was one of the first things i learned here that took me aback. we were lured here from you tube and facebook because of opinion flagging and censorship, only to learn that if you have enough SP or you have friends with high SP, you can shut anyone up that you wish.
actually if someone flags you for a comment and it is simply because you had a different point of view, and did not throw names and rant at the person or post in your comment, in other words your comment was a "clean" comment, @steamcleaners will view it as abuse and try to get the flag removed, and if unable will try to set it right as much as possible.
Comment flagging is abuse if the commenter did not abuse the poster. If you call someone names in your comment, yeap, you are likely to get flagged. There are a lot of reasons to flag and to slam a comment down and hide that persons comment. Flagging a comment that is racist, indecent, or calling for violence on a post you create you have all the rights in the world to flag that kind of comment to oblivion, and it is not censorship.
They can make a blog and post it on their page, you have not restricted their right to free speech, you have simply maintained a family friendly environment in your online home. When people throw a party, they do not put up with the loud obnoxious guest for very long before they are asked to leave, Have you censored them by asking them to leave your home?
There's definitely disagreement with that by some... this was a good post.
