Staff Picks

Steem Downvote Report Beem Python Tool Series #1: Check Your Flag Rank! by @anthonyadavisii [blog]

Ordinarily, we prefer posts to stick to a specific lane. If it’s a Blog category post, it should be the best blog post it can be. If it’s a Dev category post, it should be the best dev post it can be. If it’s a Tutorials category post, it should be the best tutorial it can be. @anthonyadavisii broke all the rules in his staff-picked post about the Steem Downvote Report Tool. It’s a development oriented blog post that’s also kind of a tutorial on an anti-abuse tool. Top of Utopian posts are usually exemplars of how you to post, but do not attempt this high level of difficulty unless you’re a skilled writer!

Scam: Your Funds and Friends Aren't Safe by @lovenfreedom [anti-abuse]

This is the third time in the short history of the Anti-abuse category that @lovenfreedom has made it to the Top of Utopian. Her contribution is easy to understand and is a quick read. She explains why everyone needs to be involved in fighting this type of abuse. She teaches readers how to stop clicking and start thinking. She shows the importance of knowing what you are clicking on before you click. Everyone who loves Steem apps, and wants to keep their Steem safe, should read this post. It is good knowledge for everyone to gain. Don’t get Phished, get smart.

He highlighted the potential problems and proposed solutions to the performance problem. He used his expertise to show how to translate the long strings to fluent and easy to understand Chinese. Great examples are given to the post.
