RE: There is a disturbance in the steemit platform

in #steemit7 years ago

Hello @carpenterbee

Agree with Spam and Plagiarism points but not with the notion that there is censorship. Why is that?

Because a 🏁 flagged post is not removed. It sits on Steemit for good, albeit less visibility - granted.

I have been the target of flagging for political views - not spam/plagiarism. While this is clearly wrong, it is for us to rally the community, just as you doing now, and name-and shame serial down-voters with questionable motives.

Thanks for this post!

That is true, its still on the block chain forever. what I am upset about is the fact that someone that chooses that route and is using the flagging system to purposefully reduce the posts visibility just because they are apposed, offended, cannot come up with a good retort, take your pick reason.
You also have to remember it effects your reputation more then removing an up-vote. at least that is what I took from all the reading I did, trying to learn about this block chain technology. If I am wrong then please correct me with the proper information.
If someone really wanted to get someone kicked off this platform and they flag every post the target posts would it not force the target to purchase steem to power up?

Oh I am all with you! I Have been the target of such attack by some misguided 'professional' down-voters as well - who are openly bragging about their mischief. They made it on my BLACK LIST. That is abuse and - and it is unacceptable.

When the time is right, they shall experience their reward. But play it smart...

I think this is why it is important to build up our reputation so that we can take a hit - and fight back.

Check out this post by @ausbitbank and consider voting him for witness if not already done. :) Vote Here

These bots - have a look at them:

FROM ausbit's post:
I've been studying usage patterns of all of the vote bots as well as the abuse flagging projects like @cheetah , @smackdown.kitty and @copypastewaster . I have @shame and @bitchplease available to dedicate to the cause, I'm just trying to find the best way to approach this and not make more enemies ..

Also, @fyrstikken, dragosroua, @aggroed witnesses are worth a vote for their transparency and minnowsupport.

@fyrstikken showed up as an invalid account or unknown account something like that

Oh yes - it's @fyrst-witness - for @fyrstikken...
