RE: Jaguar Force Expands
Solve it how? The wheels fell off the Steemit cart some time ago, and these self-appointed "steemit police" (and there are more than just that one) are like hyenas feeding on corpses just to scrape a few coins. "Anonymous supporters" are being alluded to - just wondering who they are, bankrolling trolls!
Just distance yourself from the trolls. @gric is right when he says many of the real artists we recommended Steemit to have left again or are inactive. But it will make your job of curating easier if there are none left to curate! That it kills your platform is no concern to you?
I’m confused by this comment, as I’m beginning to realize you both have no interest in solving anything. You only want to bash those that support you because how dare they say a traced worked should be credited to the original artist and not passed off as their own. Why? Because it’s practice? Practice is great and many here state they are practicing and will give credit to the original artist. Why? Because individuals are being paid here.. for the work they post.. so it’s a bit different than just practicing at home.
When it’s posted as an original artwork it’s pretty clear why that is.. for rewards.
I’m not one to say “the wheels fell off so why bother”, instead I work each day to fix it. But I think we disagree on who is “scraping the corpses for a few coins.”
You both are now encouraging negativity and bullying to the curators who have done nothing but supported the art community, which is why I’m stepping in. Because it seems people are enjoying the drama so much that they can’t even see the big picture.
Yes clearly I am trying to run artists away so I have nothing left to curate.. as I make so much from curating and all. Curators curate because rewarding the authors who add value here improves the platform overall, not because they get something for it.. well, with a few exceptions.
I reached out to fix it, I’m under the impression you have no interest. Understood.
not bullying curators - I am one myself.
I have no use for this self-appointed steemit police and I am disappointed that there are some curators that would supposedly ask those trolls to do their job for them (at least that's the claim - is it true? I might jump to conclusions ..... ).
@thermoplastic, there are “trolls” on both side.. to show this I’m going to flag them both.. then maybe we can talk? As this is just a mess at this point and I need to go back to putting the wheels back on steem as whole as well as curating... my dm is open.
There, I flagged two troll style comments I’ve seen recently.. the difference is one actully has helped to protect artists even though I don’t agree with the recent actions. The other is one you are supporting and encouraging to hurt a person who has done nothing negative to anyone.
So, what’s the goal here? Do you want to encourage creativity and a positive platform? Or do you want to encourage trolling? Like I said, I’m willing to help.. I’m not on a side, my DM is open.
The last thing I want to encourage is trolling, in fact, I've been battling trolls here and prior to this on Facebook. On FB I have 3 accounts, and 2 of them have been blocked from time to time because of troll reports. The same shenanigans, but a different platform. The system sucks when people can be intimidated simply by typing in "sources" and preceding it with a "!" - and this guy is using this extensively in order to intimidate artists. Just to demonstrate this, I did it myself to this post (but that is not my style to do, but an exception). But I had a reason. Maybe scroll up and see the reaction.
There certainly is a difference in his actions (compared to you), and you just not rewarding a post if it is not up to snuff. That I fully support. I would also fully support if a user is given warnings in a respectful manner if they did something wrong, and not hit with a baseball bat right away! This Jaguar is seemingly enjoying it way too much being belligerent. I applaud your effort to mediate, but a Jaguar does not change its spots. It is and will forever be what he brags to be.
When posting content that either is owned by someone else or inspired by someone else’s works, it is proper to list the said source in your post with a link to the original.
Failing to do so is considered plagiarism, and could result in being blacklisted by curation groups or even flagged.
Examples include:
We are about to run out of patience with you sir, you supposedly try to get real artists here, but now you support and condone 5th class shit, you seem to be obtuse as a rock. Please stop.
Flagged for trolling and spreading negativity
