RE: I'm Not Leaving but I Am Taking a Fucking Break
Up until this point, I have wholly appreciated your commentary on the issues that plague Steem.
On this particular issue, disagree with your stance @nonameslefttouse. It's as though many Steem users are experiencing the "bystander effect" (Someone else will take care of it. They don't need my help) or assume that outcome of this great struggle does not affect them.
I assure you that the outcome of this has DEEP implications towards the very future of the platform.
Many of us are trying to establish a precedent as to what we will not tolerate on this platform for those that engage in collusive and other forms of reward manipulation for junk content. 2 of those posters you point out are allies trying to bring the communities focus on the issue as we need to attack this with EVERYTHING we have.
If we do not make an example of Haejin here and now, there will be many more like him who are emboldened to scam via devious means.
This would almost certainly be the beginning of the end for Steem thus we cannot afford to sit this one out. What say you @nonameslefttouse? I ask that you consider joining us.
Check out @flagawhale. We have been busy working on creative ways to help police the block chain. These things should have been done a long time ago.
Unfortunately, I was not apprised of the extent of abuse on this platform. As one who has been in the trenches for some time, I can tell you that it is bad. More often than not, I surmise scammers end up coming out of their schemes with profit and thus influence on Steem. We have got to get better at thwarting them and that precisely is what I have been working on.
Your support would be appreciated. We also have a discord if you like to discuss in real-time. Look forward to hearing back from you.
You don't get it. The way nearly everyone is attempting to handle that little fucking playground happy happy fun time school play is a fucking embarrassment to nearly everyone else here. If I were to somehow magically get my work up to one of those slots, I'd be sandwiched between that nonsense. Maybe it means something to you, but it's not worth a goddamn penny. The way it's being handled and the lack of professionalism is an embarrassment and not worth even two seconds of my time. I hold myself to a higher standard and your propaganda on my blog will not nor will it ever be able to have any influence over my mind and the decisions I make as an individual.
Nobody can seem to figure out what's happening. Weak minds are getting sucked into taking sides. Whatever...
Like a monkey fucking a football.
That's all I have to say about that.
If you think you can do a better job, I would be interested to know you ideas and specific instances where we have failed. I agree that others have acted unprofessionally but I cannot dictate what other people do.
Beneath all the imperfections of the people behind this movement, there is a just cause. You have an opportunity to be part. Maybe you can help set the right example. Something is better than nothing.
Thank you for your reply in any case.
If you feel that any of @flagawhale's posts were unprofessional, your feedback would be appreciated.
You coming to my blog two days in a row to attempt to manipulate me is incredibly unprofessional.
