RE: Recommended for Steemit Newbies as well as Veterans - How to get more upvotes #7 ! - Just watch your account grow !!!
While it may not be a scam in your opinion, it could be considered spam. Spam is not appreciated by the community and could be flagged or may result in action from the cheetah bot..
Some things that can be considered spam:
- Banner ads of any kind
- Referral links/codes
- Repeating the same post
- Links to known scams, phishing sites, and other dangerous links
Please unflag... this is no spam at all !
If you wish I can edit the content so that there is no referral link !
For you it might be a repitition of the same post for me it was quoting one of my posts - but if this is against Steemit-Policy I'll go to edit that, too...
I note a couple issues, at least as far as MSP is considered. We don't condone or support anything that is a simple upvote for upvote style trade. This kind of program doesn't actually benefit the chain as a whole. It promotes the ability to post anything, of any quality, and have it get upvotes. This should not be the case. An upvote should be earned with valued and original works being added to the system. The use of our tag here isn't welcome as we don't want to be seen supporting this type of program.
Second, a post that has the sole purpose of promoting a program like this is very near spam as far as the blockchain is concerned.
My position as the lead of MSP's Anti-Abuse Team means that I get a report of any and all posts flagged by Steemcleaners (we work closely with them) that have also received an upvote from our main bot. This post doesn't meet our standards for use of the bot, but it's not severe enough to warrant the other actions I usually take.
Find me on Discord if you have any questions.
Hello, my friend.
Upvote for upvote?
I don't know what was this post, because it is edited.
but, if you mean steemfollower, it is not upvote for upvote service.
in steemfollower we Seperate Posts marked by cheetah or spam posts.
and Users upvote only valuable posts not spams or etc.
Yes, We Should change our site name, Really it is not upvote for upvote system.
Steemcleaners are great Community, Keep up good work beside them.
Okay, thank you for your reply... It is far more worthy and informative than being flagged...
I didn't know this things...
I saw Steemfollowers as a great opportunity for minnows to bring their posts to an broader public...
I guessed if there is spammy content people might risk some flags publishing it there - just like on steemit related discord channels or steemit.chat.
Further more I didn't want to break with msp policy promoting such a program using the msp tag - I edited the post and removed it as well as the referrallink to steemfollowers (for steemcleaners told me the problem is the ref-link, no one told me that the page is an offense to the chain)...
If you work close with @steemcleaners it would be nice helping me getting unflagged, for it is really not my intention to spam or scam at Steemit.com - my intention is to grow and to help others grow...
Starting of with the delegated 27 something SP might appear funny compared to accounts arround with over 1 Million SP, right ?
On the other hand I totally agree that it could not be the purpose of Steemit to become a advertising network (I just promoted a steemconnected page)...
Just wanted to react on your fair reply and it might be that I contact you on Discord for further discussion and questions...
Please remove me also from MSP-blacklist if I was put there...
Thank you !
I didn't add you to the blacklist as I feel this is best served as a 'coaching' thing rather than an offense we might Blacklist for. I can try and talk to Steemcleaners, but I am not sure of what their policy is on this kind of thing.
Yes, thanks ;)
I fully understand your action and welcome it... I can feel the steemit spirit in it ;)
Would be nice if @steemcleaners would react in a similar way ;)
I could understand flagging someone after correcting and warning him - I also do so if someone advertises in comment-section of one of my posts...
They have a far larger number of people to work with. Their comment when they flag should help users going forward. I have reached out to them as I don't know their policy on this, but you can send me a message to help update you later.
