RE: Upcycling Furniture
I also love sustainability but in theory or as long as there's no physical effort (from my side) involved. This successful attempt makes me want to restore all my furniture though. 😆
P.S. Thank you for gracing my post with your presence after I-can't-remember-how-long. You've been missed. (Well... who am I to say that... not engaging much lately myself.)
Haha, yes, I know. I'm also usually too lazy to restore furniture. However, on the rare, rare occasions when I've got around to it, I've always been thrilled... ;-D
Jo. My “engagement behavior” has changed somewhat. But I'm still there. I might even make it to my 7th birthday... ;-)
I noticed. That's great. I'm struggling though. ):
7 years are not enough - you know that, right? I will be joining you in the septennium league in 2 months. (:
P.S. Do I have to wait for someone to send me steem to take part in the spendenmarathon?
No... 😎
Especially lately, when I'm very concerned with the abysses on this platform, I keep asking myself why I'm so stupid... 😔
Donation Marathon:
Well, that's another thing...
The idea is actually quite good, but perhaps not as mature. I didn't expect the users to be soooo busy with themselves. Some transfers took place without a memo and the first chains got stuck in Africa (not Uganda, LOL). Oh, that annoys me so much...
You can wait. You can ask someone to please forward the chain to you. You can start a new chain (just copy the correct memo!!!). Or you can donate a STEEM to “me”... Even in a few days - I'll remind you... 😉
Abysses will always be a part of a place like this. There's a difference between being stupid and having a good heart.
The idea is interesting. I'm sending STEEM directly to you. Not a cool way but it counts and that's what matters.
Crazy lady... I got the transfer, thanks a lot!
Yes, I know that. Maybe I had suppressed it? It's back at the top now because I've been giving out a lot of downvotes recently. And there are so many abusers, so many!
One even used the abuse in the Uganda fundraiser. Bitter: over 30 honest users have achieved quite a lot (we will collect 500 STEEM and more!!!) but this one user gives me a deep feeling of sadness and disappointment where I should be really, really happy. How can that be?
The guy was on an sc team. The gorilla investigated and he got kicked. A few bruises from the dv from gorilla and myself, a few days time and he will move on. With whatever account (we have proven two accounts and are too tired to look for more, although they are guaranteed to exist).
Maybe the A Team should start again? Just the ‘Fabulous Four’ of us. We promise higher votes (higher than this blob shit that has been established), but only 10 a day. Contest and learning participants will definitely get nothing. The rest must be used for dv if abuse is proven. Be sure, @the-gorilla gets them all!
Yeah, maybe. Unfortunately I'm really tired and afraid of seeing more crap every day.
Thanks for letting me know you - you're a good soul.... :-))
I didn't know what you were talking about and ended up reading multiple threads regarding the recent scam. I had heard about the corruption of josepha but I thought simonnwigwe was a decent user. 🥲
I have noticed, Steemit team is all forgiving for some time now which can be one of the reasons for increasing abuse. Leave the downvotes, I often get surprised to see proven scammers getting support (e.g shabbir86). Getting easy on the rules is one thing which is well-received by the community but supporting scammers is incomprehensible to me. They possibly mean well and want a positive atmosphere. It's even hard to keep track of the foul players too. There could be a thousand reasons but nothing justifies supporting them.
I enjoyed giving 15 (on average) bigger votes in my recent curatorial ventures. It's either nothing or a substantial coconut, just not a peanut. It feels more satisfying that way than supporting dozens of below average blogs.
I got bored of curation, but A Team, without question, anytime. It will bring some excitement to my steem activities. We should have a comeback and (I agree) with the aim to fight abuse as well.
We should thank @the-gorilla for introducing us. 🙂
shabbir86. That's another kick in the gut. He should be dead and buried. I have highlighted my pervious discovery to one of his larger voters.
It crossed my mind this morning to teach a Learning Challenge. Or just write a load of posts about how to catch scammers. Share some of my methods so that everybody can use them. Including the bad guys 😔
Don't you think the bad guys can get better at being bad through such posts?
This is exactly what I have always thought, felt and done (even with my private account). There are just fewer and fewer coconuts. If you find one outside the territory, everyone pounces on it... 😉
Nah, I don't think I want to look for single coconuts in the huge dung heap anymore. It stinks so bad there...
But staying in your own circle all the time also gets smelly at some point...
Well, when the gorilla shows up with his insane help and should give me/us the honour... 😂

And I always admire you (and a handful of other users) for that. I believe the pressure of maintaining a certain voting CSI caused users to give smaller votes but in a wider range (talking about private accounts). It started as a rule which has now become more of a habit.
Sometimes, I wonder if all the orcas (and all sizes of fish, for that matter) start giving votes fairly and a little more generously, then authors might not look up to 01 or 02 that much and instead focus on increasing their readership by focusing on quality and real engagement.

It crossed my mind to apply again - for the pure and simple reason that if we're in charge of one of the accounts, then somebody else isn't. And I trust me.
Look at the final paragraph of my recent comment... it's always interesting to predict something before it happens. Trouble is, I know who this leads back to and I've caught her abusing her privileges before. I'm not sure anything changed though. Much like the reality that historic scammer simonnwigwe is back in a curation team again. Are him and his housemate josepha still running multiple accounts? Of course they are. Have they learnt from their mistakes? Of course they have. And I don't have time to prove otherwise. Sad, it's so so sad and if we were curators, they wouldn't get another dollar from whichever account we're in charge of.
Those were my thoughts too. I was very surprised how quickly this was forgotten.
I "half" questioned it in a recent comment and it's not been forgotten... He's been given a 2nd chance.
In Germany we say: "Zwei Doofe, ein Gedanke - wir bleiben noch mindestens ein Jahr zusammen."
I did. You wrote that much yesterday that I was not able to follow anymore. Nothing is actual anymore. I don't even know, who we hunt. Ouch. I wonder how many teams "Second Chance" there are.
I noticed Simonnwigwe aka Josepha aka Bonaventure24 aka so many, too.
And the votes and nominations...
Team "Second Chance"? Without making this "samaritian decision" public it's a strange answer. There are too many "normal" user ("nice" user, is that what @o1eh would call them?) who did not forget and won't forget.
Sure. But as long as all the sc accounts do not work together (haha, utopia, some of them do not even use sheets in one team...) there will be votes from all the other sides...
Das is richtig 😅
I got a bit addicted yesterday - it's rolled over into today. I was supposed to be doing DIY but the little one has scuppered those plans!
It did make me wonder... were the other "first chance" applicants so bad / suspicious that the "second chance" was the best option?
Over the years, I've caught sooooo many people that I sometimes see a username that I recognise and wonder what they did!
Exactly... even in our small team where we tried to communicate, it was clear that some members were only working for their own votes. Or maybe we intimidated them 😆
