RE: #project-smackdown week 4 report - last report on v1 algorithm
Funny you should mention @transisto, they are actually the person bankrolling this operation, and that of @sadkitten. What newbies were they down voting, do you have specific examples? And why do you presume it was for fun?
Without a specific example I can't know for sure, but it might have been some of the spam accounts that we've been looking at in the @sadkitten project. They are technically newbies / minnows, but really just part of a bot net.
I did not go into the accounts to look as my search was to see if it was only me or others as well. I do see problems and do very much appreciate this kind of policing. I just feel a little more time and effort should be placed before actions are taken. Otherwise it can make you look like just any other bully. I have received bullying from independent accounts and deceit from so called helpful accounts. I appreciate the enthusiasm in helping as a newbie but apparently some of these actions are made in haste.
I'm confident that @transisto is not a bully and down votes because of reasons which are well considered. I would not jump to the conclusion that it is for fun or they are targeting newbies specifically.
As you can see I am interacting with transisto in regards to this matter. I did respond to him in my story that he down voted me in and did not receive a response. I think it is because of different timezones. I am hopeful transisto will reverse the down vote, as I was not acting in a malice manor.
