RE: Is Haejln Rewarded too much on Steemit?
I don't know what culture haejln is from. I have heard he is not Chinese.
I agree 100% that the first one to notice and try to do something is a rude person. His way of "fighting" this problem probably did as much to hurt the effort. Which is why I did not step up earlier.
On the opposite side, @fulltimegeek HAS shown that his is kind, generous and looking to support and grow the Steemit platform. ANd while I can still see how the online Game "WAR" terminology is not the best either, and can turn some off, .......IT IS CATCHY, and maybe what was needed to rally as many as possible in this "FLAGGING INITIATIVE".
Let me ask you, and I know the comparison is unfair, so it is not a comparison.... it is a question about getting involved..... IF you visit another country, and in their culture it is okay to rape women that are alone on the street, would you step in and stop it if you saw this? What if you were visiting that country with your girlfriend and she goes out to buy some wine alone?
Well now we have multiple perceptions/angles of view... I suggest that it is time to navigate towards a logical and reasonable way to proceed in our actions. Im stating the obvious of coarse. More in reference to the cultural viewpoint made by @life-relearnt and @public-eye. I believe these viewpoints are extremely crucial for us to resolve the situation at hand. Flag War may make things worse off. A petition sent to the Steemit team also @ned seems fair. But also has anyone actually tried to reason with haejin? Maybe we innerstand him first and be supportive to gain a trust?? Some of us make posts direct to his attention in a welcoming manner? Not saying to make a plea or anything. To get in with him and literally become a FRIEND. Coming up with solutions and ideas here lol.
There was an attempt at arbitration, an agreement was made between Haejin and Bernie, the agreement was basically unacceptable to 90% of those who voiced an opinion, but for the sake of a peace it seemed the best we were going to get. The agreement was that Haejin would power up a minimum of 4 of 10 posts per day, showing a commitment to the platform, rather than simply cashing out.
The peace was short lived. Depending on which side you are on, either Bernie broke the peace by goading Haejin, or Haejin broke the peace by doubling down on rewards and taking posts from $200 up to $450 each.
In any event, Haejin and Rancho are not going to be swayed from the rewards outside of being decimating in a flag wars or banned by ned. The latter will not happen, as this is supposed to be a self governing society. This is working exactly the way the system is built. The former is ugly and people will be hurt, and some will leave Steem, but that is how these things are programmed to play out.
Love it or hate it, this is Steem... You either skirt around it, get caught up in it, or get crushed by it.
Yes, again, it would have been nice if a more diplomatic mega whale had entered talks with H and R from the getgo. Maybe it would have went differently (probably not).
But yes, this is Steem. Optimistically hoping that the users rise up and this gets worked out using the flag mechanism that is programmed in.
Thx
Yeah, I see that as a big issue for real. And so far, partly because of the "bad press," there hasn't been a significant rise to put a stop to it.
Hmmm, I see. Well then, I will take no part in any kind of "War" for this. Steemit.com is very promising and to me it is a life investment. Need to up the SP so I can acquire a voting bot and get paid on the daily. And reinvest and do it again and again.
That would be awesome.
