RE: Steem Developer Bounty - 1500 STEEM - Multisignature Transaction Guide (Details Inside)

in #steem5 years ago

Hi Tim, sorry to have to reach out to you this way, but Berniesanders and his bots and multiple accounts have left me no choice. He first began massive downvoting of everything I posted a couple weeks ago. These attacks were totally unprovoked, and I never even replied. Gradually, they let up. But, yesterday he started wiping out my posts again, and so I reposted them for a couple hours just to see if he would stop. Then, because he didn't stop, I eventually did, and even replied to a written threat he made to destroy my account for "spam." You've had my vote for witness for several months during which time I went months without ever downvoting anyone, or even arguing with anyone, while gradually building almost a 65 rep score without ever using bots to do it. If you look at my blog this morning you can see Bernie has followed through on his threat. If people can indeed be destroyed on Steemit simply for being conservative and posting about conservative issues, then Steemit will die. We need to hardfork away purely malicious ideologically-driven auto downvoting, and/or massive manual downvoting. Will you work to address this?

Sorry, no. My position on flagging can be found here.

These attacks were totally unprovoked

Stakeholders are allowed to downvote content that they don't believe is deserving of rewards. There doesn't have to be any reason - it is their choice as stakeholders.

.. My suggestion is to reach out to bernie on steem.chat (nextgencrypto) very nicely and politely and try to see if there is a way you can come to an agreement on how to proceed. Do not be an ass; do not try to tell him what he can/can't do; and do not try to tell him he is wrong in his choice to flag you. If you go into the conversation with the right attitude, he is often actually nice to deal with and there is a good chance you will find some type of resolution.

You are a piece of shit spammer and have been flagged accordingly. Enjoy!
