Please consider to deny the reward for such a news...

Yes you are right - It is too late to decline though - I was in a rush to get it out so didn't even think. I can give the liquid rewards to charity though and make a donation myself.

sounds perfect. btw - thanks for starting the post - I missed the TV news today - nice to have mainstream events on steemit as well

NP I thought people might be on Steemit and miss it. Also some people on Steemit are in London too I think (obviously logic but others too).

Aren't you able to downvote your own post, essentially forfeting payment? Thought that was an option.

He said he'll donate to charity, are you more concerned about post payouts or human lives?

I was responding to a previous comment... Thought I could offer a solution. I'm sorry that triggered you.

No and it might end up hiding the post if gets flagged a lot which might make people think it is fake or something. I think it is better to just give the money to charity.

Oh I see. Then yes, that may be the best option 😉

Can you edit the top of your post to mention the donation? Right now it sounds recklessly opportunistic.

I'm sorry you feel that way and I find it offensive that you would even suggest that. I have added something to the bottom of the post.

I'm just telling you what first impression your post gives. As this comment thread suggests, I'm not an isolated case. No need to take that personally, the remark is about the post, not about the poster. I'm just providing feedback. Note that I haven't downvoted your post or anything. I would have downvoted you if I suspected it was intentional, which I don't.

OK but I think you should know by now it is no the kind of thing I would do. Just be sensitive to how it sounds when you put it that way.
