RE: Account Flagged to Zero - Why I Have Zero Motivation to Keep Putting my Time, Effort and Money into Steem
I just shake my head - Because there's literally nothing a nobody like me can do.
Up your content. That is the one thing you can do. I was flagged by haejin, too, but my answer was to upload some self-portraits with some thoughts on what had happened. I got MASSIVE support: all my posts were pumped back up and I hit top 10 Trending with the self-portraits. Point is: there are whales who are ready to undo the damage an occasional bad actor is causing.
There is also some account (can't remember its now though, unfortunately) that is specifically aimed to help with cases such as yours.
I have also found that I've gotten support and appreciate the community stepping up for me.
I do get that you can't have a totally decentralised platform, and then complain when someone does something you don't agree with. But it's just frustrating that it takes people with bigger accounts to fight what is essentially a pissing contest, for me.
Well, luckily the retaliation comes from few bad apples only. Most bigger accounts are reasonable enough not to engage in such behavior, because it negatively affects their reputation. I have downvoted a bunch, and only retaliation came from haejin and some small user whose vote barely affected my rewards.
