LETTER TO THE @ocd COMMUNITY VIA @acidyo
Dear Community,
Today started out well and just about a few minutes ago it went sour.I have days that things get to me and days at which it doesn't.Last week there was a community task by oracle-d now yoodoo where we were meant to review some set of dapps.I watched a lot of youtube videos, lots of sleepless night so as not to be caught unfresh(plagiarism).At last my post was selected as part of the top 5.As usual the ritual to this is to write an appreciation post so as to be rewarded and also to create awareness about the task and the community.
So I did in my post which you can find here.The reward comes in form an upvote which is stated at 100%.Which was fulfilled in the screenshot below.
My upvote was totaled at 35$ from the screenshot below.
On opening my discord this afternoon I got 60 notification from gina and all of them being DOWNVOTE notification from @ocd.My first thought was that it was not a plagiarised post, why then should I be downvoted.So I chatted up my friends in my community server and I was told it was a disagreement reward.Disagreement on what exactly I am still confused until a friend explained further to say that my post was trending with little to nothing in the post,so as standard it has to be flagged.Below is a screenshot of the said flag and It took my post from 35$ to 24$.
I have heard a lot about the recent changes on steem concerning bot upvote.Mine was not upvoted by a bot but by a community who has been helping steemians grow with there task and contest.
So I am writing this to the head of @ocd @acidyo :
Sir I want to ask you, why was there no comment dropped on the post by the community to notify me of this decision and to inquire how I arrived at that reward?
Was the post not read before the downvote so the downvoter would know what the post was about?.
All this are what I want an answer to and I think it's fair if they can answer me as the person concerned.
I feel so sad right now cos it is like my gift was taken away from me.I feel like a kid who woke up on christmas morning expecting a gift and got disappointed.This was a reward for a job well done and for it to be slashed like this is soooo unfair.
I am saaaaaaaaaaaadddddd and angry cos I hate to be the butt of a community law and order(other side of the law).I did not buy upvote,I am not farming steem rather I am trying to write by joining contest and task for content creators so as to make ends meet.I feel cheated because I have been looking forward to this reward.
Like some steemians here,we all take blockchain loans and I was looking forward to this so as to pay part of mine off.Nothing is hidden on the blockchain, all transactions in broadview of everyone.@ocd kindly look into my case please and return this gift of mine sir @acidyo. Maybe there should be a post warning communities not to reward people with big upvotes anymore.But then what will be the fate of some of us that hardly get 1$ on a post,Oracled task is one contest I pray to participate in every time because it is like a drop of rain after long days of drought.
I am asking everyone involved in my community downvote to please look into my case and upvote me back.
Here is how my reward looks now after the accident.
Please and please @ocd kindly reply me and act accordingly.
Thanks in anticipation.
So sorry to hear about your ordeal Ife..
It's really unfair to you.
I have had my equal share of OCD's downvoting but atleast in my case, it was understandable unlike yours. I hope they look into it.
This new teem and it's cons eh..
People all over the place just downvoting content randomly and at will 🤦♂️
Thanks Hermann
