RE: Whales: You Have Some Flagging to Do

in #abuse7 years ago

The answer to your first question: NONE

My first question:

How many whales with a lot of Steem Power out there are long-term thinkers and are willing to sacrifice some curation rewards and voting strength in order to downvote this noise?

And yet these comments are now $0 because of whale flags:

How often do you admit when you're wrong?

Sort:  

Luke can you talk a little about whales using their stack to censor Utopian contributions and posts critical of them?

Pretty much my whole account has been killed off by rancho and haejin.

Not just me. https://steemit.com/berniesanders/@jaredcwillis/berniesanders-vs-haejin-481-shill-accounts-a-blockchain-investigation

was zeroed out by rancho. I can show more if you would like.

Actually, grumpycat was doing this to prove a point. That's why I kept silent despite seeing this come up.

What is all this drama about? Is it worth destroying Steem over? Is it just because a popular persona is getting votes due to YouTube/Crypto fame?

Oh how noble of you... 😒👀

'grumpycat was doing this to prove a point.'
and what point is that?
That its ok to have lots and lot of accounts so you can upvote yourself
like you good friend bernie?

That investors giving huge votes to undeserving content is bad. It affects how steemit works.

so does supporting dishonesty, deception and people who continuously upvote themselves with an ever expanding number of accounts. But you don't seem to have a problem with that !

Make you feel better @littleboy ?

so this is how steemit works

And the phrase 'undeserving content' is only a subjective opinion.
And as the attack was based purely on fabricated evidence i dont see how anyone can buy into that story.
hell the account upvoting him is more than likely owned by bernie. Trasisto pulled the same stunt, not as well as this one tho

You didn't answer my question.

Your constant hyperbole ("NONE"), irrationality, false statements, and drama is childish and annoying. But hey, you seem to be enjoying yourself and that's what matters to you most, right?

You're saying "no one cares" and then when people demonstrate they do care you joke about it and continue to make the situation worse.

Do you really think your actions are improving or harming the future value of your investment in STEEM?

If you'd unblock me in Rocket.Chat we could discuss this more. If you're just a troll, don't bother, but if you actually want to make things better around here, let's discuss it like adults and develop solutions instead of just whining all the time like some insecure attention seeker.

You’re a pretentious douche and not someone I care to speak with, have I not made this clear in the past?

P.S. - good try here....

So just a troll then. Got it.

Yes, because I don’t want to talk to a douchebag who thinks he knows better than everyone else I’m a troll. I can live with that.

I don't think I know better than everyone else. If my communication style comes across that way, then that's my problem, one I have been working on improving.

The very reason I want to talk to you is because I don't know everything and I don't understand you. All I have to go on here is the things you say and do and to me, you seem irrational and close-minded. You've flagged this OP even though it's a decline payout and it's raising awareness about an issue you claim to care about. How does that make sense to you? I don't know, unless you're just trolling.

You've labeled me to your satisfaction and appear unwilling to change or even consider how we might work together for the mutual benefit of this community and our STEEM investment value. You have more experience and historical knowledge than I do about this community and bitshares before that. You seem to have enemies, frustrations, and concerns. Why not do an interview with me and together we can explain your valid concerns to those who will listen? If you want change around here, couldn't that be a good a approach to reach those who just get turned off by many of the things you've done so far?

Granted, some people love you and your style, but you can't reach everyone that way. Some people like my approach and disagree with your "pretentious douchebag" label. If you're willing to admit you don't know everything, why not consider working with me instead of against me? We could do a "The Pretentious Douchebag Interviews a Good Whale" post. It could be a huge hit. If you're genuinely concerned about the rewards pool we could even post it with a decline payout and see if we can get the highest ranking decline payout ever. :)

I have managed to vote you as a witness.
One question - can I split between you and surrpassing google - 50/50 proxy king of thing...?

In an ideal world I want to give you both 50% of my votes, - if that makes sense..?

Happy new year matey !!

Hello @lukestokes https://steemit.com/fish/@jeevanjot/re-berniesanders-i-like-fish-20180730t180542603z Here is a proof how he abuse my account after saying the truth about his post. his post contain 18+ content in comments too and he supporting it. He is useless jerk trying to be king of steemit and making it centralized, do you think it's fair to flag out my all valuable posts and comments that he did with his 12 bots and dropped my repo, I am looking for better whales to take step against this guy, He is trolling all over steemit with his power and additional accounts. He earned $500 for his 4 word post. That's bad. For me he stole some better writer's valuable money over steem.

He’s just trolling you no use in arguing. Good catch on the blatant farming though!

I'm not arguing, I'm just exposing his troll behavior for those who still support him. If he really cared about STEEM, why not have a discussion with me, a top ten witness? Seems to me, he doesn't care but loves trolling.

He definitely loves trolling. I’m hoping it’ll die down if we ignore it.

It hasn't died down for the year and a half I've been here. He just continues doing even more outrageous things to get attention, including draining the reward pool while complaining about people draining the reward pool and running a shady upvote bot while complaining about upvote bots.

No doubt...I've been on Steemit just a little bit Luke and I'm stunned at how unproffesional, childish and downright toxic this guys is...i understand his frustration, but he's going about it the wrong way..he is being abusive and uncontrollable..if i was a dev or moderator i would have deleted his account immediately because of the rude language, threats and bullying...there should be a no tolerance rule here with regards to abuse...if you're not happy with the way the rewards pool is being spent , then talk to the developers or admin, but don't threaten or take away something that someone earned fairly with which the platform is designed..it really could have been handled way better..this whole incident with haejin really poisoned my views of this place...even people i respect have teamed up with this idiot without even considering what has been done as far as treating each other with respect and kindness...i haven't contributed a lot , but i was really excited about the potential for Steemit..maybe that's why the coin hasn't done anything...i've read on numerous platforms that people have left because of the toxic nature and structure of this place..i know it's in beta and kinks will get worked out, but this is just disgusting..cheers friend
