As far as I understand you must have abused in some way the publishing rules, may be posted spam or too many posts at one time. Could be that your content was not appropriate. The point is that you don't get black balled for no reason, must have done something wrong. Guess you could try getting in touch with @ned or @dantheman. Good luck!
Thanks for the comment.
I have violated none, not one, of the publishing rules. I have publicly put whoever it is on notice. What they do now is up to them. If they want to continue, the evidence will just continue to pile up in the blockchain. What happens after this will be for the judge to decide.
Who are "They" and what is happening? I am looking at your posts and I am baffled at what gives payouts and what not. How does this work? who is paying and censoring?
I don't know who is responsible for the flag bots.
I've been here since August and still don't know how to ensure success of a post. I more often make more than a quarter by instructional, health, or cathartic complaining posts. I'm trying to keep the complaining to a minimum. Nothing is certain here. If there was a resurgence of black plague, you might still be more likely to make money from a photo of a fly on a leaf, than a post on how to cure plague with water and salt, even if it worked.
I don't know what garnered me the highest vote count.
The most money I've made so far, I think was a meme.
https://steemit.com/meme/@lifeworship/my-first-meme
That was 5 months ago when steem was worth more, right? Also, is it that there are only a few whales, (mostly the creators and preminers of steem) and that their votes are weighted such that they are really the only ones that can move the needle in terms of payout from votes and have the "reputation" to flag?
You got it, all of it, first guess.
The steem price ride has been a long slow decline, but if the censorship trend keeps up on youtube and twitter, and if another, better platform doesn't replace Steemit, and if the government doesn't shut down the whole thing because it's too hard to censor, maybe it'll become something. That's way too many "ifs" for me. The reason I've stuck around, is so I can attempt to impart a small bit of knowledge I've found in this world to people who follow and vote for me, and for the intelligent people I get to talk to. Intelligence is in short supply where I live.
Yes I am guilty of this and now blacklisted, but I blame the lack of settings in a plugin - steempress. How do you recover from it??
