RE: Understanding the Minnowbooster Whitelist process from a voter's perspective.

in #minnowbooster7 years ago

Quite detailed and explanatory. Thank you!

I feel just as whitelist invite, there should be a way to invite a user for blacklist too. LOL!

By the way, MB was very successful in generating the user interest for Whitelist. Good marketing gimmick on its part. The term Whitelist is something every one wants to get associated with. In fact, I too got quite curious initially. I came to know about this service a day later. So when I checked my profile my name was already on pending list. This itself was an achievement for me 😉. And I noted today that it's still showing the same status. LOL! Must be, I attracted many negative votes but not sufficient enough to reject it yet and positive votes are still not sufficient enough to accept it. So I'm in a hung state. But honestly, I ain't very keen on getting white-listed here. I feel, it's primarily their business interest to get me whitelisted if they ever want to whitelist me. Why should I make effort for that?

I never write my posts according to someone else's expectation but only what I feel like writing. So I ain't gonna write any better for the sake of seeking votes. I'd keep doing what I do.

Yesterday, I posted my first dLive video and sent payment to get MB upvote. Strangely enough, I was told that MB don't upvote dLive and dMania posts. There are many bots who have chosen this strategy. Putting a blanket ban based on the dApp used to post on your blog seems very unfair to me. What's the logic behind it? Some says low effort content is not appreciated. Hell, these people don't know the difference between hard work and quality work! I don't know what's the MB's policy on it but it didn't make any positive vibes on me by its response.

@xyzashu Actually, since it sounds like you don't mind me saying, you're the blurred-out user I voted for but was rejected. I can't explain why; voting for you did not seem like a difficult decision for me.

As I said I'm not MB support but I'm not aware that they prohibit dLive and dMania content. That's not part of the TOS and it would make some of our voter discussions a lot easier, and the admins haven't mentioned it. Did you send the Steemit link to your dLive post and get that error? It may just be that the bot doesn't support those links.

Ohh, I feel so sorry for consuming your vote. But I'm glad that it wasn't you who invited me. Invites are more precious. However, I still see a "Pending" status in my MB profile. I really don't mind being rejected when people like @reko too are rejected. It's their business their policies, I've nothing to do with it. I'm fine either way 😊

But yeah, regarding dLive, MB specifically mentioned it in the transfer memo while returning my transfer. You can check it here. You're correct, it's not mentioned in their tos.

Thanks for all your support anyway!

Notifying for rejections is broken. It's frustrating.

The steemd link didn't work but I checked your wallet. That's really weird. I'll ask about this.

As I think about it more, I have canceled posts with dLive videos that don't work all over my feed today, so it may just be a temporary response to that.

Response from admin:

we had continuous abuse of these tags and stopped voting them

Sorry.
