RE: Case 8: Stumbling over a few fake talents again

Interesting that you called us asking you to look up fake accounts with huge stake as looking into a flag war based on ideological differences and personal views... Good thing that you aren't the only one that can conduct investigations and we have dedicated plenty of resources into doing the research you refused to do that actually effects every person on the platform and, save for a few whales, does so in a very negative way. Be sure that you are not immune from this investigation as well.

Sort:  

I assume you are referring to the contact @patelincho was making with me a few posts back.

I must admit I don't really understand what you are complaining about above, but I know you were not happy about my reply and @patelincho seemed to be a bit angry even.

I do not know why you see me as an enemy of yours, though, just because I did not pick a side and did not involve myself in it.

Anyways, I do welcome your investigations!

Especially an account like mine deserves to be looked at with extra scrutiny!!!

The people we asked you to investigate are guilty of the same things that you are bringing to light in this post on a much grander scale which even a cursory glance at the accounts in question will show. I'm incredibly curious why you chose not to investigate them and call it "choosing a side" rather than investigate some serious abuse of the system here.

You dont had to pic a side .............. you had to investigate shady acounts with big stake in steemit . Isnt this your job here ? Intresting part is that you never pic on the real bad guys here ........................Its fine we can do our investigation alone ! Sometimes not take side is a clear sighn - RIGHT ?

I don't have a "job" here, I do what I feel is necessary.

Now after I didn't immediately jump to the conclusions you wanted me to make back then, you started accusing me of, well... I don't even really understand of what, of not being of your opinion?

Hmm using a tag - steemit-police .....................i do not acuse you , but SEEMS you investigate only things you want .

Yes, quite indeed that is how it works.

But I do look at the leads people give me. Back then, you and @jphenderson were flagged by @transisto and @newsflash. I did look into this and responded to you with:

The accounts are obviously busy with "reward pool protection" executed by their own means. Downvoting what they subjectively feel are over-rewarded low-value posts with too much votes behind them. I suppose that's what they are intrinsically allowed to do with their stake by the way steemit is designed...

I see the accounts are most likely run by the same person, but that's nothing out of the usual. They are not making any gains from their behavior.

could you elaborate what kind of misconduct you see?

I have the suspicion, the fact that you and @jphenderson are spending almost half your voting power either on yourself or the other (that's of course also perfectly legit use for your stake, but ethically subjective) while also being heavily supported by fuzzy has dragged you in their target zone?!

What I was trying to tell you, is that I am not here to stop anyone from using their stake as they see fit.

Neither would I accuse you and @jphenderson for reciprocal upvoting, nor will I accuse @transisto for using his stake to remove those rewards that he does not like to see.

I asked you for an elaboration of the kind of "trolling and harassment" you mentioned, but instead you started accusing me to be on "their" side.

So please, if you see anything specific you want me to look into, I gladly will. But if you just want someone to look at an accounts dirty laundry in order to find something, you have to do that yourself.
