Downvoting Farms Still Plaguing The Network
Our representative @esecholo recently had a run-in with @ stemgeeks where they downvoted his post's about advancements of the Minds social network, where the team officially announced an analytics page to all its users.
The situation immediately went downhill as alleged members of the @ stemgeeks community started targeting ALL of @esecholo's recent posts. They are all being downvoted and their posts are "hidden" even if the topic had nothing to do with the conflict between @esecholo and the alleged stemgeeks group. @Esecholo was justly upset and sought out for a reason as to why his posts were downvoted... over 24 hours have passed and no official reply from the main account but other accounts who are seemingly associated with @ stemgeeks decided to spam downvote his content and made their own comments which seemingly didn't reveal a real reason as to why the main account downvoted his content.
Accounts such as @ enforcer 48, @ bloom and @ themarkymark all decided to target @esecholo's posts... they even downvoted the posts revealing that they have been spam downvoting his content. So far, there has been no real acknowledgement of wrongdoing from those parties, but the Steem blockchain reveals a large pool of downvotes from these specific accounts on @Esecholo's content. @Esecholo even demanded them to go live on Youtube so that members of the Steemit team and the cryptocurrency scene, in general, could see how these organizations promoting a token treat possible investors. So far, there has not been a reply or even an acknowledgement of the demand. "stfu" a reply from @ themarkymark and @esecholo replied but his reply was "hidden" due to downvotes from @ themarkymark in one particular post.
So far, it seems that the people who are downvoting do not want to have a word, or publicly speak about the events that transpired within the last 48 hours. This reveals a prevailing problem in the Steemit community where downvoters can freely use bots with new accounts and downvote people without repercussions.
We do not want to directly tag the accounts in question out of fear that we will be silenced for bringing more awareness to downvoting bots and unjust downvotes from new "whales".
Please be aware of possible scams from these new Steem tokens being released.
Thanks for reading. Upvote and follow for more!
"Doesn't it suck that we have to deal with communities like this... especially when these users are NEW... I've been here for years before them and yet they act like they run the scene... It's hilarious how pompous they act but in actuality, their token is just a shitcoin at the end of day.
I'm pretty proud to be the center of attention on this especially when it comes to these people trying to game the steemit system."
A repost of @esecholo's comment since @ TheMarkyMark decided to downvote his comment for seemingly unknown reasons.
We do not want to tag the account in question out of fear of being targeted by their downvoting farms, we sincerely apologize.
