RE: My horrible first experience with Steemit & ideas on how to fix it.
Thanks for the thoughtful response and kind words. I will have to get more well versed on some of the other abuses and loopholes in the Steemit system. With anything like this, there are bound to be people who abuse it early on. It reminds me of when Ultima Online first came out something like 25 years ago and people who just resurrect other players simply to be able to kill them again to the point where new players got so frustrated they quit the game outright.
I think there is definitely a middle ground solution that can help curb this experience (although I'm not sure if I was just unlucky or if it is a common occurrence). Thanks for your thoughts on the issue and for your support on a personal level. It is much appreciated!
That @lukestokes is good people.
Sorry about your initial experience. Hopefully we'll avoid the part where people use a rock to glitch out pathfinding, walk through a walls of your house, and loot all your chests :)
I do hope you'll stick around, I've been following lisk for a while now and would love to see more thoughts on where it's heading. If you still want to run lisknation.com, and use steem, I may be working on just the tool you need ;)
I'm glad you stuck around, too. My very first day on Steemit (a month ago tomorrow!), a high rep member flagged one of my comments on his post. It wasn't a spam comment. It was lengthy and detailed, and complimented his post and the ideas behind it. I replied back, asking why he flagged it, but he didn't answer me. I just assumed it was because he didn't want a new user commenting on his post for some reason.
After being upset and annoyed for a few days, during which time I kept reading, commenting, and posting anyway, I got over it, and kept Steeming on. It hasn't happened again, so far. I still wonder why he did it, though. I'm just not upset by it anymore. I've had far more positive experiences by sticking around here than that one negative one. If I'd given up the first day because of it, I'd have missed out on all the good things on Steemit.
You've got my follow, and my upvote. :)
I once accidentally flagged someone touching my screen wrong. :) Gald you stuck it out.
