RE: Steem 0.14.1 Released - Hardfork Postponed until 9/20/2016
Great to see the platform progressing. I would like to ask you after the 9/20/2016 changes take place to shift your attention to something that should be much more important than you have been treating it.
The current MUTE function does not work.
It would of course work better if you added one tiny little thing to it that really shouldn't take long which makes me wonder why it hasn't been done yet.
You can't see the rape threats... How nice for you.
But the people recieving them in their Reply feed can read them.
Can you imagine reading stuff like this all day
And there are plenty of users engaging with this troll, even dolphins trying to bump up his reputation. He would get bored much quicker if you just programmed either the MUTE function or the reputation function so that replies from these trolls would be completely invisible to the receiver.
He literally goes from one woman to the next! Please make this a priority! Just because he's only harassing one gender of the community doesn't make it any less of an issue!
are you triggered yet ? :)
I tell you exactly what Im doing and you still fall, every time
How does the mute function not work? I've noticed many negative rep accounts are hardly visible in the comment section.
That account won't stop until the authors ignore it and stop replying to it, that's his/her only fuel.
You're saying it's the authors fault for responding! Fine. I stop responding, he gets bored and moves on to the next target! Very helpful of you.
Thank you for being so sensitive to the issue...
I care about the issue and didn't think of it being visible in the reply, apologize for that.
What I don't care about is making the mute issue this huge of a thing as if someone is forcing her to read comments from an already confirmed troll.
Maybe adding colors to usernames depending on their reputation could help with that?
Is it just me or don't other see that big of an issue with this? Have you ever owned a youtube account and tried posting there? Did you find it preposterous that random strangers were bullying you on the internet in text format in a comment section?
If that already turned you away than you are not going to be too fond of the decentralization of the internet and its platforms...
With that being said, threats aren't a joking matter, but instead of fueling those users with more and more attention and ruining this place for yourself cause 'the mute button didn't work', try ignoring it and it will stop over time. I am sure. No one likes to waste time knowing no one else is giving it any attention. Not even major trolls like this one.
Already confirmed troll?? Newbies don't know who he is... They're not even aware of the meaning of the reputation and when they do become aware he can pretend it was all a misunderstanding and he was victimised. You can't expect everybody to go and confirm with the blockchain.
His tactics are to go from being your "friend" and making you care about what he thinks (as there are many users here I've come to care about) to doxxing and insinuating what he knows about you before he begins properly harassing, then back to hugs and friendship then back to punches in the gut.
To a passer by, it can look like some of his comments are sweet and innocent but when somebody goes from punching you to hugging you to punching you back to hugging you on repeat, it's not long before the hugs become less than comforting and part of the abuse!
there were no rape threats
shes just trying to manipulate you...
Could you not edit the comment without saying what you changed? That's really confusing and may change the light my comments are viewed in considering your first sentence says something completely different than there was before.
The comment I changed said the exact same thing as the original comment that everybody can still see.
she does that consistently, she thinks she is smart, that nobody can see it
also, wtf? Why WOULDN'T it be an issue cause its another gender? Why even bring that up?
Seems like a try at creating more drama than necessary.
Seems like your changing the subject to negate the issue.
This particular troll revels in the idea of being invisible. He actually thinks he's using it to his advantage because now nobody notices what he's doing until somebody plays the victim. We shouldnt be made ashamed of reporting this!
I am inclined to agree with this statement. On a specific occasssion, when i upvoted a hidden post of his because i thought it oughtn't be hidden, he replied in one of my threads and asked me to remove my upvote.
IMO, the real problem in this particular case (and also in the cases of r4fken) is that acccounts which no longer to have anything to lose are allowed to endure and wreak whatever havoc they can concieve and implement.
Perhaps a solution might be a vest penalty for negative R-share posts. It couldn't be the same full magnitude of positive rewards (as that would allow high steem power accounts to basically steal money from posters if they wished to do so), but even something like a 5SP max penalty for a post with enough negative Rshares would be sufficient to destroy even relatively high SP accounts like R4fken's.
It would also permanenly kill off users like the Sports streaming people (because an account can't function without at least some SP, iiuc). True, they could just go get/make more accounts, but that costs money. The vests taken could either be destoryed (and thus become SP incentives) or could go to the flaggers as a kind of reverse curation reward.
I'm not saying you should be ashamed for reporting it, but its kind of starting to sound as if I went to the mechanic that is repairing my car and kept asking him to fix the stereo even though he is working on the engine.
who's shaming you?
exactly , she is trying to intimidate you with shaming tactics, basically implying you are a mysoginist because you dont agree with her
Oh and I just read your comment and thought I could chime in with my thoughts, thanks for getting all self-defensive and making me look like an insensitive asshole. Good luck.
This is absolutely Unbelievable.... No one should have to put up with this crap on the comment section. The mute, block, or what ever you want to call it should work. If it doesn't then that should be a high priority. I have not seen this kind of post, but if I had, I would have done a post about it. I can't stand these kinds of childish behaviors from so called adults.
Thank you. I would prefer to get a response from ned or dan confirming that this will be addressed imminently as I do not wish to make a post about it. But if this doesn't get their attention I may have to, and I have a lot of respect for the developers and the hard work they are doing. I think it is perhaps because the comments are hidden that they don't realise how serious the issue has become.
The reason you can't see the the posts is an inherent flaw in the reputation system. Once his reputation goes below zero only the receiver can see the comments which is worse! Because there is nobody to defend the receiver or offer emotional support. The receiver has to do what I'm doing which makes me look like a crybaby. Nobody likes a crybaby...
But fuck it, I'm doing this for @stellabelle, @moony, @lauralemons, @craig-grant, @svetlanaart, @florentina, @halo, @fairytalelife, @claudiop63, @camilla, and his all his next targets probably including @luminousvisions, @iamgreta, @elemenya, @clevecross, @radioactivities, @dana-edwards, @bitcoinpoet, @steemship, @steemed-open, @mgaft1, @sean-king, @benjmiller222, and @rok-sivante.
I have been collecting data to post about it. But since the solution is such a simple one I'm hoping I won't need to.
you are not gonna be able to manipulate the devs nor the founders, they have strong minds,
and they know why they are doing what they are doing, you do not
rape theats? what rape threats beanz, you are delusional,
show me the rape threats
If posting stuff is the new mining then im going to RAPE this coin!
