RE: Steemit Betting Scandal - Crowdfund to pay @Walden our internet detective.
The problem is, @nikflossus, that you don't have anything to lose if your accusations turn out to be nothing but FUD spreading.
Whereas @virtualgrowth is a prolific contributor to our community, I can't see much from you at all. So, I have no problem with audits and accountability, but I do have a problem with people making unfounded accusations. What are you willing to lose if your accusations turn out to be groundless? Don't say your "reputation" because you really don't have much of one.
from what I've seen of the arguments presented so far is that @nikflossus tried to game the system with 1% and 10% votes, wanted to get paid out and didn't. He posts clickbait headlines claiming a scandal and then thinks the community will rally to him and upvote his posts so he can pay a so called 'detective' to get to the bottom of the matter. Sounds like a lot of attention seeking at someone else's expense. Personally, I'm not clicking his upvote to reward him.
Agreed
You do realise that because of my intervention many many people have come forward with complaints against @virtualgrowth? And you do realise that I explained why some of my upvotes were at 10%? My votes were made only just after I received a slider bar for the first time. Also I was well within the rules betting at any level until @virtualgrowth changed the rules 2 weeks later. And I still didn't get paid. Nor were many others. And he ignored my concerns until then. Why are you so afraid of an audit? The smaller Steemians want it to happen.
yes, I have seen your claims of many, many complaints.. and that is all I've seen of these alleged complaints (you claiming they exist) and I've seen the evidence of the many 1% and 10% votes you made. Nothing I've seen so far substantiates your claims.
For you to have made that many 1 & 10% votes and not have realized you were voting on a slider bar... well that says a lot about you. Two or three maybe.. not as many as you did.
Just cause others are too polite to call the smell of baloney, doesn't mean I will.
The complaints are in my posts. Please read them properly.
Stop trying to derail. I voted properly and legitimately and used 1% votes for the betting choice rather the post upvote. You know this is standard practice with Steemit betting so why are you pretending otherwise?
What's baloney about wanting the truth?
An investigation will reveal everything.
I repeat, what are you afraid of?
what sort of bullshit question is that .. "what are you afraid of"... I don't need to be afraid of anything to be calling bullshit aka baloney when I see it. If you are so convinced that you are right then put your own funds on the line and pay your so called internet detective instead of crowdfunding.
You think a call for an investigation is 'baloney'?
Read the previous posts properly. A lot of people wanted a investigation. If you don't want one, go elsewhere.
Simple as that...
Why should I have anything to lose? Life doesn't work like that. I gained nothing and spent my time investigating something I thought was dishonest. Why on earth would you not want an investigation when many many people have said they weren't paid for this game? Indeed @virtualgrowth previously said he wanted an investigation.
However if you think doing a lot on Steemit should absolve you from any scrutiny then please say so.
