SmartSteem's Death Note: THE BLACKLIST

in #steem7 years ago (edited)

Hey there SmartSteemians,

Today we're going to address our blacklist, the waiting time to get whitelisted and our policy against SPAM & ABUSE on STEEM.


It has come to our attention that @msteemian was plaggiarizing a lot of content lately, and even pumped the plagiarized piece above with an obscene amount of bought votes.

The post we're talking about is now flagged to oblivion and can be found here:

Post: https://steemit.com/life/@msteemian/power-packed-20-minute-workout-routine

We have removed all of our votes, as seen below:


Since SmartSteem takes Quality of Content very serious - we made the decision to remove all of our votes from the posts still in the payout window.

This has lead us to want to clarify a few things.

Are You a Spammer? Do You Plagiarize? Do You Create Content To Buy Upvotes?

...If you answered any of these questions with a "YES!", SmartSteem isn't for you.

We take quality very seriously!

In fact, one of our top support questions is why is account "Whitelisting" taking so long. The answer is simple.

We're a small crew of highly motivated individuals, but analyzing an account and its content takes some time. We take pride in being demanding and whitelisting only people who contribute to the health of the blockchain.

This helps keep abuse at all time lows while skyrocketing meaningful posts to all time highs.

However, due to the huge influx of sign-ups, we have candidates by the hundreds now, which means we will take a bit of time manually reviewing and whitelisting you guys.

Rest assured we aren't "Sleeping on the Job".

So, summing up, you'll find we don't support plagiarists, low effort posters, scammers, spammers and other black hatted individuals.

We want to grow, and for us to grow the platform has to grow with us.

At the end of the day, it is up to all of us to make STEEM a better place.

Hi @smartsteem . I accidentally copy pasted the header instead of the link with my 11SBD....any way to get a refund on that?

Good catch, we need to stop plagiarism to make Steem a good platform

you fight the upvote and propose upvote....
can you please explain me the difference between your upvote service and any other upvote service?

So should I be worried? Or Did you guys just not get to my profile? lol

Says pending since Feb 7th:

Hi, love your bot.
But I am trying to promote my wife's articles @chinesemedicine.
She is a Acupuncturist and Chinese Medicine practitioner.

The bot rejected my bid on her medical article about Vaginal health as NSFW:

  • Transfer 0.100 SBD from smartsteem Refund. We are not allowing NSFW-Content.

I can see why your bot my get confused and raise a false positive on similar articles.

Would it be possible to get white listed please?
It is a medical blog by a medical practitioner, not porn.

I would like to use your services for this post and future ones.

thank you for your assistance
-Matt

Might be the tag sex. Bot might be set to auto reject posts with that tag.

I sent 2.5 SBD 6 hours ago but didn't receive an upvote or refund. Can you please check?

Hey, I accidentally sent .419 SBD to @smartmarket with the wrong memo. I was wondering if I could get a refund somehow. I appologize for making this mistake. Won't happen again. It happened around 22:13 EST on Feb 20th (03:13 UTC Feb 21st). Here is a screenshot below of the transaction. Thanks.

For a newbie here. I am glad that you guys are very involved in this platform the way you are.. It's like a fine toothed comb to weed out the ones who can not follow the rules here. And they are simple rules too. Good to know y'all are on it. Thank you for keeping the Rif Raf down to the minimal

Thanks for not encouraging plagiarism.

Your site is goes offline periodically, are you undergoing maintenance or what?
