RE: Pay It Forward! A better way to enjoy steemit and find great content!
I'm @earnest and I approve this message.
:)
Content Curation Guilds or Tribes.
It requires the members of the tribe to be avid producers And consumers
of quality content to maximize its potential.
It also causes everyone to rise together by lifting eachother up instead of pushing eachother down. :)
Exactly, its a subversion of steemit,
I like it and will play #payitforward
Im not trying to offend you, Im trying to make you think, thats all.
I respect you.
@earnest I certainly hope so. I respect you as well, but right now you are confounding me greatly.
BTW I went in the your comments in your posting, I found someone who shares common interests with me. I want to thank you for that experience. It was literally the weirdest thing to happen to me in years once I caught on. Even if you don't actually believe she's my sock puppet as I claimed you might in there. I am sincerely confused how someone can sound so much like me and share so many common interests. If it weren't me on this end, I'd think that too. So can't say as I'd blame you.
This is the best I can do in trying to read your mind. If I'm wrong then please clear the air. If I'm right, I wouldn't have any idea on how to clear that up. It's not something I've ever experienced before.
No problem, you're welcome.
I think I was clear, nobody votes for my posts because they are cowards,
what part didnt you underestand?
I value every vote I get, and yes, I saw yours.

#payitforward
Lets be clear on the codes involved here,}}
You are supposed to vote for things you believe in.
Yes only upvote content you think is worthy of your upvote.
@earnest This looks good, but remember rule #1 the post needs to start with #payitforward This allows those of use looking for other players to know that this post is ok for playing the game. The point being if they stumble upon your post and they see #payitforward in the comments that that they don't go all white knight and flag it for linkspamming.
Please fix that and I'll go in and give you more feedback.
@earnest I realized you'd get around to fixing it later. Upvoting based on other criteria, because I have a place to be and won't be back until later. But still upvoted because I believe you believe in this and your content would be otherwise worthy of curation in my book.
Fix things when you have a chance. I'm skipping the normal reqs on you because I believe you'll fix them to comply, because I believe you want to see this succeed and actual quality content to be upfront and center.
Was I wrong?
"Yes only upvote content you think is worthy of your upvote.
@earnest This looks good, but remember rule #1 the post needs to start with #payitforward This allows those of use looking for other players to know that this post is ok for playing the game.

I bend rules
Rules are there to raise the bar so it doesn't turn into linkspam.
Despite posting here, there are a couple of problems with your post now I've had time to review it. The most important being that there is #NSFW content on there that wasn't displaying last I checked (was doing it on my phone not everything loads properly because it's cheap).
Second problem is the lack of a tag indicating that it's ok to cross post in there. Since the point is to raise the visibility of everyone, by not playing by the rules then it's not a matter of not playing fair, it's just a matter of not playing at all.
Third, is iffy. I'm not here to pass judgements on your content, just to decide if I like it or not.
What I had assumed was humor is now starting to sound rather serious and if that's the case I really wonder what you're on about in there. Talking about being a psychopath etc.
I mean there's no problem trying to call out people abusing the system for abuse. I can admire and respect that. But the content and context is confusing.
Well written, you speak well. I can't say if you speak truthfully because I'm not in a position to judge your personal truths. If what you say about yourself is real, or is as I suspect more or less in jest, then I applaud you for knowing yourself enough to know.
I'm not going to remove my upvote on your comment because I still believe in your sincerity. However I'm not going to play the game in a way that discredits it's rules. Therefore, I ask you to play by the rules or don't try to play.
If it turns out you just trolled me or something, let me be the first to say bravo, well played because I had assumed sincere intent to raise the level of discourse in a way that valued human involvement.
p.s. Just a comment rule #5 isn't strictly required but it makes for cleaner less spammy looking posts. If you're really playing, then fix that one too.
Thanks!
I have no words for you right now,
here is some music:
how elaborate can you be in spelling these 3 words ? "Im a coward"?
@earnest I'm replying here because we hit the comment depth limit.
Ok so you're calling me a coward. Or at least trying to get me to say it or something, either way all it means is that for some reason you think you know me well enough to apply it. That's on you, not me.
I do have one question for you.
Since I've gone through and addressed what I believed to be whatever you're pointing at, despite obfuscation and obtuseness.
Specifically, what about any of this makes you think that? Is it the fact that I don't remove the upvote on your comment? Or the fact that I believed in your sincerity and left it alone until we could have a discussion about the entire topic?
Fix the post if you really want to be part of this. Otherwise I can easily remove my upvote and I leave the commentary in place. You'll notice I never upvoted your content, just the fact you commented. The point of this game isn't the upvotes because any bot can do that, it's the commentary both within your blog and about your blog.
I just lost the count of the things I need to fix,
can you put them all in the same post?
@earnest replying here because comment depth limit re: how to make the posting compliant with the rules.
#1 there is NSFW content, you need to warn please, some folks aren't into that adding a #NSFW in your comment would be useful.
#2 first word of the post should be the hashtag #payitforward because that tells the world that you are willing to play this game with them and make some new friends, like evidently sychochica
#3 Use an anchor tag for the link so it looks less spammy.
Other requirements were fulfilled because it was implicit in our earlier conversation.
Uhh as for not upvoting you because I'm a coward, actually your blogs have never been raised to the level of my attention before, which is exactly what we are doing this for. I held off on upvoting this time because you weren't playing the game by the rules and the rules are there to give us something that differentiates us from linkspammers.
I don't agree with this particular posting, but going back through a bunch of your stuff I would totally have upvoted the OODA posting, also the one where you caught @ricegum and her little scam and a whole bunch of others. Not all, but some. I applaud you for feeling free to speak your mind. Even if I don't agree with you, I upvote you anyways, because I think you are trying to have a conversation that needs to be had and you are speaking from a place that appears to be authentic.
As soon as I know you're playing, I'll upvote your posting and comment and reciprocate as long are you're in this game, because I believe you sincerely believe it and you are trying to spark a debate that needs to be had even if it means others think you are trolling.
Finally, you should know that I consider you a friend, doesn't mean I agree with you on anything in particular. Hell most of my friends and I can't even agree on where to head for lunch or what color the sky is.
Just means that I know if we were to meet in a pub, we'd be buying beers and swapping war stories.
Ok, I value your presence, thank you for being here.
Yes, I will buy you a beer, a german wheat beer I propose
Sorta of a PBR guy myself. Nothin like a beer that's the same going in and comin out ;)
@earnest Thanks man, I appreciate it! Put a lot more effort into this one, than most of my other blogs which are usually stream of consciousness.
Glad you dropped by and I hope you will play the #payitforward game too!
you could further gamify it to streamline adoption,
lets make it a competition for the best brother's keeper
Motto : "We work hard, smart, and together"
That's a great idea!
