Cheers - I just left a comment there.
It seems to me that using the system (upvote and downvote) can never work in these cases.
The big SP users will always abuse the position, and there is nothing small user can do.
Even countering with infowars, leaves things in the air...
If 'we' knew we could post, and stil recieve something direct into steem account - it would make life much 'easier' in your mind (if you see what I mean)
It's a system that can't be gamed if it manual. (no bots)
There are not that many cases, realistically - to cause a big time problem to organize it, either..
Can bots be identified? If there is a full proof way, we "little people" need to start by rallying against their usability on Steemit.com.
The 'fool proof' way is exactly what I have proposed!
Work out average earnings, and get people to send steem directly into the 'victims' account.
Just needs organizing - I'll do it with the support from people
Sounds good! I'm in.
I still want to see ideological downvoting limited though.
I have zero faith in the few big people at the top (who knows who controls what on here?).
I have faith in my own integrity to dish our real steem to people who are losing from downvoting though...
Just need committed supporters to do this, and then we totally circumvent any negative actions done by childish idiots intent on destroying steem...
They may even give up - when they see their 'targets' account still growing ...
I'm in. I will delegate something if you get it rolling,...
Thanks for ALL you do in the cause of freedom, my friend.
That's the beauty of this - it' adds up to almost nothing with enough people...just a little time from someone watching for it..(which i will do).
Imagine you do 15 posts a week, and receive a dollar a time of upvotes. (not bidbot usage obviously).
Imagine you get attacked, and we have only 75 people willing to pitch in...(it should be a lot more!)
....that's each of us pitching in 20 cents each - for the week- for your posts, and to keep the coffers in your account roughly the same as the rewards...
The incentive to write stays the same.
It's a temporary fix on a 'as is' basis - but no one has the power to stop 'us' doing it this way...
Attacked account will not suffer too much.
Get this going and I'll give ALL my steem dollars. I won't be needing them and I like this idea.
