RE: Jaguar Force Expands
@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.
