RE: Steemit – We Need To Talk
It is irrational to damage others in order to damage an entity you haven't tried to engage with to come up with a solution to your perceived problem.
I think those who believe nobody is doing anything about it are the ones with their heads in the sand.
Okay, so seems you know who is doing something about it.
So who is it?
Who's spending every waking hour monitoring the abusers so that they can flag their abuse 12 hours before payout?
And since you say that there are people working on it, does that mean nobody else can?
He did try to engage. He came up with a solution. It's called taking initiative. A lot of people agreed with his rule. If they didn't, there would be zero bots complying with his new guideline.
People were doing stuff about it. I do believe that. They weren't doing enough though.
If I am flagging abuse as a minnow, and my 0.07 SBD upvote at 100% charge is most certainly not enough, then the abuse is being mostly ignored like a social experiment.
And rightfully so! We have stuff coming up in the future that will really help eliminate abuse.
Don't worry, the posse is formed. Give us a minute. ;) It doesn't take too long to skin a cat.
I am certain that there are much greater forces watching everything unfold. It wont end well for those that think they're getting away with it. That's for sure. Thank you for taking the time to respond to my comment!
Well, @themarkymark was instituting actions such as curation teams long before grumpy started throwing his weight around. I've seen collaboration between the bots involving sharing of blacklists between themselves and steemcleaners, consulting with patrice. Recently I learned about the @abusereport bot/tool/whatever which started posting when upvotes occur on the last day. In fact, looking at that, in the case of sneaky ninja, it occured twice in the last 2 days for a total of $15.92. By contrast, grumpy's selfvotes over the last two days total more than 1106.86 (I stopped counting). To me, grumpy is a far greater abuser than the bots.
Yeah I've been observing @abusereport bot myself. It's easy to go unnoticed for a plagiarist though to maybe vote on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th day at this point though.
In my opinion, the @abusereport bot is only helpful to a certain extent.
I don't disagree with you that grumpy is unjustly paying himself and abusing the rewards pool. With all the abuse already going on, it certainly doesn't help. It would be nice to know the motive behind it.
This is like turning into politics, and I hate the approach that some of these whales are taking because it greats a divided community much like politics does with their left wing and right wing bullshit.
Suggesting something positive to help clean up the platform, all while doing whatever you can to abuse it or perform the same abuse that you claim to be cleaning up. I don't much care for the upvotes he gave me either. I like them, don't get me wrong. All I'm going to do with it is power up, which ultimately helps us all, but it's whatever to me because I don't agree with how he's going about this.
