RE: $BTS/BTC Daily Poloniex Technical Analysis / Market Report Update #53, Jan. 15, 2017.

Maybe so, but someone needs to talk to him and let him know that doing those sorts of things will cause users to leave. If users leave the price will crash and he'll have a nice fat sack of nothing.

It's unprofessional and makes the platform look bad.

I'm talking to a high school today about moving their creative writing class to steemit.

One of the things I'm going to need to explain is our community moderation system.

This is 500 high school kids who would all be signing up in a single day and blogging regularly.

It helps if we can all act professionally.

I am glad to see that he has downvoted this content. These charts are the most basic charts you can pull up on Poloniex and there is no real analysis or any reason that I can see these were making the trending page everyday. I thought these were just bot upvotes but now I see some whales are really in support of this content for what reason, I am not sure. I don't see how these posts making the trending page everyday is good for Steemit or attracts any new users.

@the.masses How's them boots taste? You get 'em nice and shiny?
You need to wipe your nose, you still have a little brown on it.

Now it's time for a reality check.
User attention and engagement are abysmal on this platform.
There isn't any plagiarized content that has been trending and this post is not plagiarism as far as I can tell.

I don't know how many people you've brought to this platform, but I'm up to over 300 people I've personally introduced, sat down, walked them through it and helped to get started. Every one of them is face to face contact with people I know.

Users don't care about anything that's trending at all. They care that they are rewarded proportional to their efforts. They continue to feel that way until the time they have so many friends and family on here that it has basically replaced their primary social media experience. After which, any money earned is really just a bonus.

A single downvote from a whale like this, completely unexplained, with content that is informative and original, alienates not only the person who was downvoted, but their entire first circle of friends. That might be 1 person or it might be 100. It really depends on the person and how well connected they are socially.

@Dan didn't do anyone a service here. He showed that the platform has the potential to censor content for reasons unknown and the assumption from the actual masses is that he is being petty.

If he explained his reasoning it would be different, but right now all it did was make him look bad. And since he is the leader of this place it makes the platform bad.

Flagging is a passive aggressive form of harassment when you don't have the spine to stand up and explain why and give people the chance to correct it.

stupid fucking shill account
