The #1 Thing To Do If You Want Upvotes (And Exactly What NOT To Earn Follwers And Respect)...
amendment: I acknowledge I misread and misinterepreted your above comment as you were requesting upvotes, rather than a broader statement.
ooh kkk..@rok-sivante i want upvote from you...on my post..
And I want a $4 million condo. But it doesn’t matter who I ask at this point, it’s not gonna happen like that.
You want my votes? Stop begging and EARN them.
A Priceless Tip For Steemit Newbies Seeking Followers & Upvotes... (The #1 Thing To Do And NOT Do)
@rok-sivante thanks for the advice...i not beg for upvote...i will earn them...so how will you see my blog to know whether i had earn yours?
I've already given you the answer TWICE in the links above.
why have you downvoted my post...have i wrong you in anyway....@rok-sivante
PLAGERISM.
This is one of THE biggest no-no's on this site.
As stated in the comments of the post, you completely copied-and-pasted an entire article from @ned's blog, giving ZERO credit or citing the source.
given your response that you thought it was okay because you put "message from Steem board" in the headline, I've concluded that you were really just ignorant when you did this and didn't understand what a violation this actually is here. thus, I was "nice" enough to remove my flag. although, I see I was not the only one - and for fair reason:
You fucked up in one of the biggest ways a person can fuck up here.
Learn from the mistake. Don't do it again. Pay forward the lessons.
whilst i agree and NEVER follow anyone who begs (pure silliness) how come you upvoted your own comment with a large 11 bucks on a post which is about abuse?!!
It may be time to write a post articulating this answer, as it’s not a short one...
Though to attempt condensing:
Because I have the choice and option to.
Because having been here since the start and a fairly heavy investor in the platform, I see this type of conduct (spam begging for votes) as one of the biggest problems that needs to be addressed if this platform is to grow successfully without becoming a shithole.
Why I upvote these links to my response to such behaviour: because it contains lessons in which I see great VALUE. And that is what a vote is for.
Because it sends a message. It makes the message stand out as valuable. it serves as a reality check for people thinking they’re going to win the lottery and earn pennies by flooding this platform with crap that it’s a different set of rules here they need to learn to play by - and that dollar figure is a direct reflection of the rulesets by which such rewards are earned.
I have had my reservations about self-upvoting. But in the end... there are whales up voting themselves hundreds of dollars for complete bullshit. So is this that bad? No. I don’t upvote all my own comments,pretty much only these ones that are intended to serve as a beacon for newbies who really need a wake up call as to what is and isn’t appropriate conduct here.
It’s intentional and deliberate to serve multiple purposes. And I’ll confess: one of those is the business wisdom of “pay yourself first” - for value generated. Though, the times I self-vote aren’t on just anything, but for these KEY lessons that if grasped and implemented, will have a tremendously positive impact for this community by cutting down the amount of spam begging.
And, it’s worked. typically, I’ve only done so on my blog. And since, the amount that type of conduct has happened has decreased. Money talks, and apparently, the lesson get across clearer when that $11 stands out and grabs the attention of someone who’s looking for rewards.
It might be a small way of paying forward some valuable lessons, but it’s one way I’ve chosen to utilize my voting power - both ensuring that my bills are paid while contributing to educate the newer generations of Steemians on appropriate conduct that’ll ripple out to keep this space as a platform I’d like to stay invested in, rather than degrading into a begger-ridden shithole.
