RE: Steemit Users Flagged For Disagreement of Rewards? WTF? @tremendospercy & @steemtruth
I have said before in a very reasonable manner and will repeat: YOU continuously downvote my blogs. My downvotes are only reactionary to yours. It shall stop whenever you'd like. Your consecutive downvotes have been umpteen in nature and I disagree with your downvotes and have returned your actions in self defense of my blog. I have no other ulterior motive to downvote your blogs. Unlike you, I have NEVER called you names, nor debunked you with derogatory memes nor have I ever initiated the downvotes. This is fact and on record and yet you jockey yourself as the victim. Not a chance!
As long as you continue downvoting and unfairly post derogatory memes that are purely meant to insult...I will be self defensive.
What has been worst are the very racist memes put out by @berniesanders and his followers. To these, I will not stand idle with my downvotes. If they persist, nor will the KR community as whole stand idle.
Again, as soon as your downvotes cease, mine shall also.
Do you understand the difference though? How many rewards has he taken from you? How much have you taken from him? You cry the victim more and more yet have experienced the least impact. You have both downvoted and attempted to insult me personally though I have done neither to you. Don't come on here and act like you're some angle victim. You are a combatant just as much as anybody else.
Hey guys, I've been following the story as best as I can for a while and wanted to take this opportunity to voice an idea. @hendrix22, and @haejin- if you will have me. I've acknowledged that although haejin is making a lot in rewards, he sticks to his content, has an audience, and doesn't use his posts to slander or divert attention against the service that he provides. While I still disagree on rewards, I want to give benefit of the doubt because although I don't fully understand TA, I am aware that it is a skill.
I believe that these flags can be used on better targets. Since you have amassed a large amount of STEEM haejin, I feel that you would be one of the most beneficial players in helping flag low-quality content that is being boosted by vote buying. Would you be willing to work together on helping flag this kind of abuse to deter this behavior of over-rewarding bad content like this?

@berniesanders upvotes his own content all of the time, but I have respect for him, because he is also trying hard to help lower the overall abuse on the site. We want to make Steemit look good so that there will be more inverstors in the platform and currency. Because of this, I don't mind. Same for you too @hendrix22 c:
If you can help out some as well @haejin, then I would see no problem with your rewards either. As a Steemian or even just as a person, I can say that we need people with this kind of power to help us stop people who are paying to put low-quality content in hot and trending.
I don't have any power on my own, but I can see that if you all are able to move past this and use your own powers to negate rewards on scamming through vote buying, it won't remove abuse entirely, but can definitely help lower it. Doing this will send the message to users of all skill levels that quality really is valued the most here, in turn raising Steemit's value. What do you guys say?
Also, although I am not sure why @liberosist sent the flag to @tremendospercy, I could definitely see a reason that I may flag it myself. I opened his article, and almost immediately identified something but went to double check. In his post, only 2560 words is original contribution. This includes text links as well. A ridiculous 5112 words are quotes from articles. This means that 66% of that article is someone else's work. Although I am not an authority on content quality, I can discern that in academics this is paper fluffing to add length. There is no reason to use this much of someone else's work for profit, and the only reason I would imagine this being so is to "portray the illusion of value". Again, speculation. Steemit aims to reward original content, and most of his post is not his property.
Everyone is allowed to have their own reasons to flag and upvote to what is subjectively deemed valuable, and vice versa. It pains me to observe this development, because I can see that together, far more can be accomplished than with one person alone.
Mahalo,
@shello
Hoping to get a vote from haejin hey? hahahhaa. Keep on upvoting all of his posts, maybe one day you will succeed where all his other 'followers' have failed. Funny you were speaking out so boldly before on Bernie's page. Didn't get any upvotes from him, so now you're trying the other side?
Hi, @haejin. I’m new here and trying to get up to speed on the reward pool rape topic. It seems like it is tournament own self-interest to grow SteemIt. Here are some things to think about:
From what I’ve read, upvoting your own comments is considered douchey. It doesn’t help your argument to self-upvote every comment. You’re not adding valuable content. You’re not giving kudos to someone. It reeks of the very thing you are saying you don’t do: raping the RP.
If you want to fight the perception that you’re raping the RP, don’t upvote your own posts. Instead, spread the love. Upvote quality content bynother Steemians, especially minnows. As I wrote above, this is in your own self-interest. You can keep minting SP with your posts. You will be able to do this for years. With STEEM around $4, you’re making decent money. What will it take for STEEM to get to $10 or $100? That requires more people to earn SP.
Do you want to be a cryptocurrency picker or a leader of your community? You are the most successful crypto analyst in SteemIt. I doubt anyone will argue with that. You are one of the most famous (and notorious) Steemians. You make a good living off of SteemIt. But you’re followers are a cult of cryptoenthusiasts. I posit that your following will grow if you become a SteemIt evangelist and help grow the platform and community.
There seems to be some us vs them in this with one of those sides being KR. Please help to stop that. It won’t help the community.
There has to be a peaceful solution to all of this. Many Witnesses are doing amazing work. The battles that are raging don’t help them so I think they’d be willing to help resolve this. I also hope that the whales involved can agree on what behavior is acceptable and not. I would also ask that you and they turn to the community to help set standards of behavior. The results may feel like they hurt you financially but I guarantee that will be short-term. In the long run, your wealth will grow more if SteemIt (and the greater Steem ecosystem) grows. You study finance so you should know: it’s better to have a smaller piece of something huge than a huge piece of something small.
(Note: I’m not looking to earn anything off of this comment. An upvote to it will mean you want to see a way for more Steemians to earn SP. A downvote will mean you agree with one side of the RP Rape feud and don’t want to see an amicable and rational resolution to it.)
I just read the two posts that were downvoted. I understand downvotes of anti-vaxxer posts. The other one sounds like a crazy conspiracy theory. I’d say that one is best left alone but I can understand the downvotes.
That doesn’t change my original comment.
It's garbage content that was downvoted. Fear mongering and wild conspiracy, and most of it is cut-and-paste. I wouldn't waste my voting power to flag it, but I'm not mad at someone who does.
Sounds good Donkey! I have not cried victim not once. This is also on record. I told you many times I will be flagging every post you make until you stop pillaging the rewards pool. The platform should be a place where many can earn some extra income for blogging. Do you really think we are fooled by your Donkey games. It's clear to see what you guys are doing and I will continue to work very hard to put a stop to you and your games. I think I'm working much harder on stopping you then you do on your shit posts. You are a Scammer and a Thief and I disagree with your rewards and your methods. I will not bet stopping my flags anytime soon. I think you should have read this post before you accused me of playing victim flag away you Dirty Donkey!
Status quo!
Your derogatory name calling shows how you truly feel about yourself at an unconscious level. It is human nature to project unconscious guilt outwards and towards anyone but self. It thus provides temporary relief but nothing remains changed on how you truly perceive yourself. There is no happiness to be found in doing what you do.
Again, I offer an Olive branch...stop your downvotes and mine shall as well.
When will this youth bulge end? I grow tired of all the 30-year-old seers that fail to order their own emotional state, yet presume to be able to tell the rest of us how to order the world.
You are the one with "unconscious guilt". Anyone with a clear conscience would not let someone with a 5$ downvote affect them this way. If you knew what you are doing is right, you would not even notice or care that others find what you are doing to be wrong. Especially when they can only remove 5$ off of your 300-500 dollar posts (which you make 10-12 posts a day).
Why does @hendrix22's disagreement of your potential rewards bother you so much? You can't handle anyone opposing you because deep down you know what you are doing is wrong.
My .01 downvotes bothered him.
This comment hits me hard because if this is true then that makes me the Donkey! I will stop my flags once you stop pillaging!
Another meme for you doneky. Stop pillaging doneky.
Nice massege @heajin. I am a big fan of you. I know, You are a gretest analyst. Your advice is more important for us. I always resteemed your blogs.😍
So long as I have said all lies, you are really a donkey.😂😁
