RE: De-Spinning the Spin - The real truth
No I am not, but I know people downvote for many reasons, mine are specifically abuse or harassment only. I have no control or influence how people use their stake, only how I use mine.
You do have "control or influence" by punishing people for what you consider "inappropriate behavior".
That's your entire argument in favor of downvoting.
Downvoting gives you "control and influence".
Wouldn't unjustified downvotes (like "vegan wars") qualify as "personal attacks" and or "harassment"?
Would you consider downvoting unjustified downvoters?
People are free to use their stake as they please, that's what Steem power is, you have a set amount of influence to decide how the reward pool can be used.
I don't agree with flagging over "vegan wars" (Not even sure what that is, I assume it is anti-vegan or the opposite).
I can assure you I don't downvote for petty things like that, but I have no influence on other people's stake.
"People are free to use their stake as they please" lol
you created the Black list to do the exact opposite!
Hey " Marty" we see what your doing. Your game is up!
"The commuity" is not you and your whales and voting bots!
If you downvoted people for harassing the innocent with their downvotes, that would deter harassment (which you are ostensibly against).
You use your downvotes to punish people who make personal attacks (and that's awesome).
Why not use your downvotes to punish people who make personal attacks (with their downvoting power)?
If you say "people are free to use their stake as they please", aren't self-voters "using their stake as they please"?
Aren't spammers using their resource credits (earned from their steem-power) "using their stake as they please"?
I'm not sure why you would be eager to downvote for one form of harassment but NOT for another form of harassment.
Fantastic.
I have no idea why people downvote, usually the person complaining is not telling the whole story. I can't figure out every downvote (which there are a lot of) who is right or wrong. It would be an absolute nightmare to police every downvote.
I am not any authority figure or moderator, I am just another user like you and everyone else using my stake as I feel benefits the platform as a whole and aligns with my interests.
You are a de facto authority figure and or moderator, you manage community blacklists and have the power to deny rewards and hide all posts of accounts you personally disprove of.
You even use that (copyrighted footage) movie clip of THOR wielding "the ban-hammer".
Only a de facto mod has the power to influence view-ability of posts and comments on OTHER PEOPLE'S blogs.
I am just a large stake holder willing to sacrifice my time and stake to make the rewards more balanced. Nothing more nothing less.
You should look into and understand Fair Use Doctrine
Again, I am not a mod, I am just a stake holder that wasted thousands of hours of my person time to help balance rewards only to be shit on by trolls and spammers.
I know what fair-use is, but steemcleaners will downvote you for neglecting to provide attribution links for images (even free pixabay images).
I don't see any source credit or attribution links here -

You misunderstand.
There is a difference between when third party content is your post and when third party content adds to your post.
If I use CC0 (public domain with no requirement to attribute) I do not source it. It is free to use without sourcing. I use gifs freely as they fall under fair use.
If I use images that are not CC0 I always source.
I NEVER make a post that is exclusive a third party piece of content and try to get rewards off their work. Any third party content always suppliments my post as fair use, but I will source so it is not assumed it is my own work.
u manslaughterer @themarkymark have downvoted for no reason.
Only reason is u have ancesors with manslaughter DNA.
Who did I manslaughter?
