This wasn’t the post that was deleted, and there is no reason to decline rewards... it’s a great post (just like the recipe post was) and it’s why people were trying to curate it.
Keep doing your thing, you are doing good things here and contributing with content people love as well, just maybe chill a bit when it comes to being “wronged”... no bad intentions were had.. just some people trying to curate you.
If someone doesn’t like your posts.. who cares.. you be you. That conversation was about voting your post though and the fact that this is where it has gone is insane.
I hope you post the meatloaf recipe again, I meant it when I said I thought it should have been trending and wanted to help get it there.
Honestly Justine, I doubt I will share it. Reading things said about you has an unfortunate way of getting into the negative side of a persons head and heart. That post has such a negative stigma attached to it now - for me anyway.
As for the decline of reward - I would have done the same for both if I ever got to re-posting the meatloaf. Which, as I say is highly unlikely.
But, things move on and I can always reinvent meatloaf.
I am honestly gutted that all of you think this has been about votes etc. I was humiliated by the fact that people I respected chose to demean and question my content in an open chat room. Perhaps I am old school, but this is the sort of thing that gets done in private, not at the eyes of all. I have worked incredibly hard for this blockchain and as we all know, negative news sticks like shit to a shoe! I really felt that all of you could have handled that in a much more professional and discreet manner - especially considering that several of you know how much heart I have ploughed into this place.
Anyway.... moving along.
I understand and I’m sorry. I didn’t at the time think anyone said anything negative about the post but reading back it seems a few gave opinions.. I was focused on the photography/lighting being very high quality and to be honest I was excited to see it.
When someone is asking me about an authors authenticity, I take that pretty seriously and due to my background that includes more technical aspects.. comparing past things etc.. your post was badass dude and I remember the first thing I said was “she’s legit”.. then when I opened it I was floored and just wanted to ensure I was not giving incorrect information.
I know you and know what you do, so to me of course you’re legit.. but I’d i didn’t take a moment to compare or run a search then I’m not doing my job.. I’m sorry I lost sight of the human author behind the post and just was focused on the specifics of it.
The end result was the majority thought it was great, it was your work, and we wanted to vote it.
Yes the editing out (which again was completely understandable) was just odd timing and if it wouldn’t have been you then I would have bet it was abuse.. it’s just a text book technique we see used all the time.. again I apologize for forgetting the human author behind it.
You do lots here, I’m a fan.. and yes I hope you can move forward from this and the last thing I intended was to hurt you.
Too many comments all over the place, so excuse the edit. I appreciate your apology and the fact that you acknowledged the very thing that cut me like a knife.
Moving along swiftly...
Yes, sorry to bounce this around on multiple posts. All is good, let’s move forward and sending positive vibes your way girl ❤️
