RE: What People Want to Buy with STEEM: First Results from Market Survey
Flagged for unsolicited PM'ing of link on http://steemit.chat - They are actually banning accounts over this sort of thing so consider yourself lucky at a warning flag. Refrain from PM'ing links in the future please.
It's not acceptable to private message people links of your work unless they've asked for them previously. Please stick to channels like #PROMOTION and #postpromotion-moderated to advertise your posts on.
With that being said this is very interesting information. Good work on that part.
(I'll remove the flag later, Consider this a freebie warning. ;) )
EDIT: Flagged removed 41 minutes after and turned into an upvote. While still not enthralled with being PM'd the link I don't believe it should cost you money nor rep. Great work here reporting this info.
Ok, on one hand I thank you for your comments concerning the post, on the other hand, let me say that I would have considered your flag totally inappropriate, for 2 reasons: 1) it was a flag to the person, not to the post itself 2) it was the first time ever I sent you a PM. Nobody had ever flagged me in such a situation. In some similar instances, I got appreciative comments (including by people with rep 70), in other cases I was kindly asked not to do it again. These are the behaviors I would find appropriate. P.S. If somebody will ban my account (I don't even understand what this means...what happens to my SP then? It just gets confiscated by @steempolice..? :-) ), I will simply go back to places where I belong, as that will prove that I am not fit for Steemit. And don't really feel like a "lucky newbie", sorry...
Welcome to steemit, land of the roaming hall monitor, home of the censorship bot, new home to the reddit style censorship brigades. Kudos for standing up to the first one to come after you.
Just FYI, they cannot ban you and take your money. All they can do is downvote\flag each post to hide it, which can be reversed if others upvote it. You still have access to your wallet and funds.
Don't let the hall monitors chase you off, after that great response they will probably leave you alone now anyway.
