With all its benefits, Steemit has a huge problem that could stop it in its tracks.
Cyber bullying.
Or the bullying of individuals via the internet, social media networks, or chat apps.
It is one of the biggest issues in grade schools, high schools, colleges, and across the world.
People are bullying each other with hate, making fun, crucifying, and exploiting. And you have heard the stories. a student gets bullied on Facebook only to be found to have committed suicide because of the bullying.
Suicide, bullying, and lack of self-esteem are huge problems this current generation is facing.
So can you imagine the shitstorm of a media storm if the media found out a site like Steemit exists that REWARDS BULLIES for bullying.
Every major outlet's first impression would be that Steemit is a bullying haven, the price of STEEM would plummet, and the site would be on its way out.
All because of bullying and that Steemit allows for bullies to bully people and get paid to do it.
Like this for instance:
Earning over $161 through bullying
Cyber-bullying over 36 times in one day
So let me get this straight a bully can go around bullying people and get rewarded for doing it.
Yeah Steemit is IN TROUBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
Can you imagine if Steemit reached children and teens the cyber bullying problem would explode. The harms of bullying would be increased.
Not only can kids pool together their resources to make fun and bully other kids, but the "haves" could literally bully the have-nots their entire school careers and get paid to do it.
So Steemit allows bullies to get paid?
Just wait until the media hears about this.
Or even worse wait until someone on here gets bullied and something happens as a result. Lawsuits and bad publicity are waiting. And Steemit will die fast.
We need a solution fast.
That is the main reason I am writing this. I love Steemit and the community and what it allows us all to do. But there is no way in hell I am going to ignore bullying on this platform only to let it get worse and allow it to hurt more and more people.
This is one post in a series of posts to raise awareness and hopefully a solution for Steemit cyber-bullying problem.
Hopefully there is a solution, but if not then there is no way the good people of the world can allow a platform that rewards cyber-bullying to exist.
And people can say o why don't you ignore the bullying? Well sure I may able to and some others. But some kids and teenagers might not be that strong.

Do you really want to read about someone committing suicide or shooting up a school because they got bullied by people on Steemit and there was nothing they could do?
Doesn't sound like a good platform to me.
So hopefully there is a solution because if not there is nothing more that would scare away investors, businesses, people, and non-profits, then cyber-bullying.
Thank you for your time and attention.

No, Steemit has a scammer problem. And flags are to be used against scammers like you. EXACTLY how the system was designed.
Nice work throwing the “suicide” threat in there to really get attention. If suicide is considered because of flags you got bigger issues than you’re about to encounter.
I'm so confused right now, chiefmappster always been helpful to me. So you're saying he's a scam? Please show me proof, b'cuz i defended him and you guys flagged me, then my rep went down by 4. I never lied or scammed anyone on here or anywhere, just got caught in the crossfire. lol, please can yall upvote this comment so i can get my rep back? The only reason i defended chiefmappster is b'cuz i really thought he was being bullied. I got no beef with you guys and sorry for taking a side, i had no idea this was this intense. P.S. I like your pic bernie...from futurama right?
I'm my opinion and experience with Paul I would have to say he is a cancer for any group and it's highly likely he has some serious mental issues.
In the short time we allowed him to be around us, he ...
And my personal insane favorite ...
https://steemit.com/photography/@chiefmappster/trigger-s-walk-thru-the-hidden-waterfalls
^ If that doesn't show where this guys heart/mind is, I don't know what to tell you.
That's not a full list, I just wanted to stop by to show my support for ridding the platform of people like Paul chiefmappster.
As far as I can tell, Paul has no skill whatsoever, outside of duping people who fall for his schtick. I've honestly never seen him DO anything other than talk bullshit, claim to be running projects he has nothing to do with outside of ... doing a lot of talking in chat.
The projects he's "running" (posting here on Steemit) from what I hear are copies of other people's projects ( @rondonson ) or are very similar at the least. It's the best he can do, since his claiming to be with other projects didn't work out so well.
That's pretty much all he does ... talk, copy and claim to be part of projects so that he can post about your project and make him some money off of your project. "Leech" is the best description of his personality type I can come up with ... outside "insane", which his personality closely resembles.
My thoughts exactly.
Damn...Damn! I see why there is a coalition against him, it's crazy b'cuz he has always helped me with the smlchallenge and how to get smoke in my bitshares wallet. But i've only known him for a little while. So does he host the smlchallenge or is he just claiming too? One last thing...if you like rap music check out my blog if you have the time, peace.
He has tried to take advantage of and scam many of us on here.
Damn man...so i gotta be careful dealing with him? But he seems so nice and laid back....and every time i needed help= he helped me.
I dont think he means to be this way, he just tends to be very greedy and selfish. This leads him to delusional thoughts where he believes he owns things he doesnt and causes him to scam people.
Yea, i can't see him being a supervillain...I'm still gonna be his friend. But be clear i'm not picking sides on this issue. Have a good one my friend!
Lol you literally are doing what you are saying. How is an automated spam bot who makes money not spam and scamming.
I feel bad for you. You lack such a connection with the world that you have to latch out like this.
And with such emotion you can't even see that you are scamming people. Like how do you not see this. It is so clear.
You are so lonely I feel for you. I will keep you in my prayers.
God bless.
Namaste
Stop whining chief I still remember your stupid racist attitude in Poker tables. So don't make it a scene trying to touch important social problems like bullying and suicide everyone knows who you are.
Lol I truly feel bad for you. You are in my prayers.
Good luck I wish you the best.
God bless.
Namaste
@chiefmappster is being followed by this flag bot because he is a prove liar and scammer. He will reply claiming this is bullying, however, these flags are being used as deisgned, to protect Steemians against future scams by @chiefmappster. Beware. He is a notorious liar and uses the name of the Lord to gain sympathy. Namaste.

At least he's smart enough to create a bot to say the same thing over and over in comments, unlike you.
Paul was a partner of mine on a project he and I and another friend came up with. He took earnings from a pitch that was supposed to be used for this project and used them solely on himself.
He then chose to step away from our project to focus on other things. We remained amicable until Paul found it appropriate to take over my pitch on the Whaletank program, during which time he also took credit for being in charge of another program that he had never been a part of.
When I confronted him and asked him to stop, he simply talked over me and laughed, saying that he would always have a piece of my project, no matter if he stepped away or not. He has threatened my friends and people who have other projects that he had a cursory participation in.
I hate to see anyone flagged who doesn't deserve it, but unfortunately that is not the case here. The real issue here is that Paul hasn't learned how NOT to abuse his influence, and therefore the risk of him harming more people and communities here is too real. That's what these flags and accounts are doing. It may seem harsh, however it is truly being done for the good of Steemit as a whole.
Paul, when you read this, please understand that you are experiencing the consequences of your own actions, and not being bullied as you claim. I hope you will step back and figure out how to change the way you conduct yourself.

You probably wouldn't like everyone seeing how you really deal with people in private, would you?
Check out all of these threats @chiefmappster made against someone:
I was nice and didn't screenshot his insanity to me in private. I truly think this guy is not all there and it's the only reason I didn't screenshot him, I felt sorry for him (at the time).
Now that I've seen what he's capable of (back then he was just annoying in chat) doing outside chats by fooling people, I wish I had kept them.
It was like reading scribbles on a padded wall. 5 minutes of it before I blocked him and banned him from our chat.
I have nothing to hide all you are doing is exposing who is behind the @chiefcrappster . You are funny @themarkymark
You can miscontrue words to fit your agenda easily. I use brutal honesty.
God is my witness.
You are in my prayers because for whatever reason your life is in such a bad place that you are spewing negativity.
God bless your soul
I am not behind it, but I do agree with it, you are a scammer, fraud, and dysfunctional. Everyone you have worked with has left with the same impression of you, I know because I spoke with them after you went apeshit on me for not giving you all my tokens. I chose to ignore you because I would rather be constructive than destructive. I will not waste another second on you.
You have been talked about a lot in chat channels and I posted one of the log of our chat in a public channel when you started to threaten me. If you feel it is me, by all means, do what you need to do.
I literally have you on tape saying you like to call me chiefcrappster. That alone not to mention your involvement (and all the blockchain and IP data) whether it be passive or active is part of the US cyber bullying laws. So you can be charged. Not to mention the constant libel and slander.
"Everyone you have worked with...". Lol do you hear yourself when you talk? Do you know I have been doing this almost ten years and have life long partners that has been with me for years. Maybe there is a common thread between you are those people on Steemit that is why we don;t work together. Have you thought of that?
All I know is I will be thrilled when I don't have to deal with your constant negativity and bullying in the chats on Mumble and on Steemit. Maybe an arrest warrant will enough to get you on the right path.
God bless your soul and wish you the best
I do call you Chief Crappster because you are full of shit. Almost everything you say is a lie. That's the extent of my involvement.
I'm so confused right now, chiefmappster always been helpful to me. So you're saying he's a scam? Please show me proof, b'cuz i defended him and you guys flagged me, then my rep went down by 4. I never lied or scammed anyone on here or anywhere, just got caught in the crossfire. lol, please can yall upvote this comment so i can get my rep back? The only reason i defended chiefmappster is b'cuz i really thought he was being bullied. I got no beef with you guys and sorry for taking a side, i had no idea this was this serious.
I am not involved in this except for the fact I gave him the nickname "ChiefCrappster" due to the fact he constantly lies and makes up shit.
He worked with me on @buildawhale a few months ago and left, then came back claiming he owned everything. I talked to people he has previously dealt with, and they have had similar issues with him. At that point I unfollowed him and ignored him.
An account was created by another person using the nicname I gave him and his choice phrases. I think it deserved but I take no part in it as I have no interest in drama but I don't like when people take advantage of people that don't know better.
He claimed in a hangout to have Exxon on board to use his user issued asset (whch he did not have at the time) on a third party exchange (Bitshares) for their loyalty program. I spoke up and wanted proof, so he started calling people names and laughing it off saying the "universe will find a way".
Outside of that, I pay no attention to him, it isn't productive and it won't go anywhere.
He recently started presenting in Whaleshares whaletank which which people upset with him started to get offended to. A chat log between Chief and I was picked up from a public chat channel and used in the drama.
I have only flagged two people in my entire time here. Both cases were spammers, one in my post and one in a community post.
I have no interest in drama. I am sorry you are caught in the middle of this, but I don't have much else to say.
Libel and slander are offenses in the United States as well. I will let the researchers and lawyers worry about that.
God bless your soul.
Uh, there's plenty of proof you've tried to swindle and scam people. I suggest you tread VERY lightly here. You wouldn't want to end up in even more trouble now, would you?
Don't forget, other people can take screenshots and record voice chats as well. And trust me, I have both of those and can defend myself without issue.
Your best bet is to start a new account and move along because trust me, I have FAR more on you that you ever will have on me.
Good luck to you, and, namaste.
You won't do shit. You're high 100% of the time and all you do is talk so you can keep your drug money game going on Steemit leeching off the actual innovators projects.
You would have NO case. Good luck finding a lawyer who would take this case. I have some experience in law and can tell you that this "case" would have no ground. Please film or write about your experience talking to a lawyer. I want to hear what they have to say to you?
He is not Chiefcrappster FYI. Your investigating skills are lacking. Learn some blockchain forensics IMO.
You didn't connect the chiefcrappster account with the veryscamfield account and the flacidyo account ghettodweller account? All same person.
You will have some papers soon for your cyber-bullying. Not a good example for your son.

I have only known you trough the beat battle competition that you host's and a few short private conversations on discord so this all came as a bit of a shocker on me.
I usually don't get involved in drama, but the amount of comments posted here by @berniesanders , @chiefcrappster , @tuck-fheman & @themarkymark peaked my curiosity...
I remember seeing the chiefcrappster bot back on my submission for the beatbattle but not paying closer attention to it then that.
The way you handle yourself in the chat logs that are posted in several of these comments is truly appalling & sad to see @chiefmappster ...!
I can tell by your threat's of involving government institutions that our reasons for being in the crypto space are very different.
I'm not at all for cyber bullying laws, or most laws at all actually.
I would suggest you do some introspective reflection on how you communicate and approach other people online as your own online presence can clearly be seen as bullying.
Writing "God bless" and "Namaste" everywhere does not make you a nice person. Your actions are what defines you!
(Psychedelics can be of help...)
Change starts with yourself!
I'm sorry, but there's no such thing as "online bullying". You can mute people, flag them, ignore them. They have 0 bearing on your life. If someone commits suicide or shoots people because someone was mean to them on the internet, than the problem is with them. They should see a shrink.
What Steemit might have a problem with is nepotism. Seeing you get flagged is no joy to me, but neither is flagging others for being "offensive". Offence is not given, it is taken.
I defintely understadn where you are coming from as that is a common feeling about it.
And sometimes it is because of seeing that shrink that they actually commit suicide. Those pills they prescribe give suicidal thoughts to people. It is how I lost my cousin Michael last year. That's what happened to him.
Appreciate you caring buddy.
Well, sorry about your cousin, but again, it was him that had psychological issues. I don't know what could've been done to save him, but being PC is not a solution. That just forcing people to censor themselves.
The only limits on free speech that I'm willing to give into are direct calls to violence or straight up plagiarism. Calling people cunts and stuff like that are just insults. You either grow a thicker skin or ignore them. Everyone has the right to insult anyone they wish. They will suffer societal repercussions, as in they'll not get invited to parties and have no friends and stuff like that, but they shouldn't be fired or prosecuted.
Hence, I retain my position on the issue. You have the same right to "bully" anyone you wish as well in my book. Neither such bully will be considered a good person, but I don't think they should be censored either.
Also, regarding your point about the media. Who cares what the media thinks? They're as out of touch with reality they've ever been. Fuck the media! If they criticise something, then I know that's the best place to be.
I really dislike people who throw the suicide thing around as a way to emotionally blackmail a topic. It is gross.
Even your replies on this post are getting flagged! You seem to have a serious psychopath on your ass who has nothing better to do than follow you around 24/7. Bright lights always attract darkness.
Ganz kurz nur @nacktepoesie - les Dir mal die Kommentare oben durch. Der Typ, den Du hier verteidigst ist ein übler Scammer, da drüber brauch man nicht diskutieren, mir reicht was ich gesehen und gelesen habe.
Meinste jetzt den chiefmapster oder crapster?
Den Mapster natürlich
Ich hatte bisher eigentlich gar keinen schlechten Eindruck von dem, im Gegenteil. Wenn du Recht hast, hab ich mich total getäuscht, was natürlich nicht ausgeschlossen ist. Ich bin nur verwundert. Auf jeden Fall danke für den Hinweis Watson, ich hole jetzt meine Lupe und untersuche den Fall. genauer.
Prima danke! Der verkauft sich nur als Guter 😥
Sozusagen ein Wolf im Schafspelz.
is there a LOT of psychopaths on him or is there just one here. Psychopaths tend to hide well in public FYI.
Amennnnnnnnnn what a time to be alive.
Totally agree with you. The dark comes out when the light is shining.
Wish you the best.
You too! Stay strong!
omg, that's so terrible it's hard to believe it's even real. there has to be some kind of standard that leads to suspension and permanent suspension. these are difficult issues. but you are so right, there cannot be any place for this due to the serious consequences. these kind of issues need a committee or to scout out progressive methods other sites are using to address it. as we know there are limits to free speech when it crosses the line and abuses the inherent liberty and privilege of being a citizen and civil. peace
Amennnnnnnnnn there has to be some type of solution. Like you said maybe a committee or have temporary bans.
But there is no way I will let this platform allow bullies to bully and make money off of it. I have lost to many to suicide to let that happen.
Appreciate you caring.
God bless.
Namaste
I agree, that guy needs an ass whooping my friend! It pisses me off so much bcuz you've helped me out so much. Something needs to be done about this! Let me know if i can help...i got your back chief! Also i posted some new music so check em out if you have the time my friend.
Appreciate you my brother really do. I have faith God and the Universe will take care of it per usual :)
And heck yeah thank you for letting me know. I am on it.
Thanks again for caring.
God bless.
Namaste
Damn it now he flag me 53 times! My rep went from 46 to 42...WTF!!!
With positivity comes negativity. It has gotten to a point where legal action is necessary.
But that is one saving grace of Steemit is that you can show the court system literally the loss of reputation (like what happened to you and me) because of their cyber-bullying.
Have faith my brother their time is coming.
They're not going to care about a wife beater like you who has a record.
LALALALA using the system as designed!!! Flagging is FUN!!!! Still waiting on those papers....
Lol where do you come up with this stuff.
All in due time.
Looking forward to the day when your bullying ceases and the community knows who you are.
You will be even lonelier than you are now.
God bless your soul.
Namaste
Your soul is fucked.
And you soon will see.
So lets take his ass to court! I work'd hard to get my rep up.....did you listen to "Freaky" it has my beautiful wife on it. lol
I plan on it. It just takes time. But the good thing is that the account keeps providing more and more evidence with every minute.
But on it buddy haven't listened to that one yet.
"thats how i work i mirror people"
Don't worry bro, we still friends. This whole thing is crazy...i got my rep back at least. Can't wait to see the winners of this week's smlchallenge! One love my dude
I agree it should be looked into immediately. We should be setting an example of how to run a community. I think big whales need to get on board this and make a stance :)
Amennnnn I totally agree with ya. There has to be some other people who care.
Really appreciate you caring and taking time out to read this.
God bless.
Namaste
This is just wrong. I agree some at steemit should monitor or take 'flagging' of a bully seriously because if not, it will be a blemish and proverbial black-eye on steemit's and legitimate non-bullying members.
Is that what we really want? But we could be heading there.
I totally agree with ya. Very few things scare away investors, businesses, people, and non-profits than cyber-bullying.
Can you imagine if high school kids got a hold of Steemit in its current form? Holy smokes the destruction would be terrible. I have lost too may to suicide to let a platform allow this.
Thank you for caring and reading.
God bless.
Namsate
Fuck off scammer. You’re not being bullied. You’re being dealt with like a scammer should.
Lol you are the scammer and a bully and if you can't see that maybe we need a judge or cop to remind you.
Your time is coming just wait :)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
AGAIN.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
First of all, you won't find me. Second of all, you're a fucking MORON and nobody would even bother with your scammy ass let alone a cop or judge because you're being flagged and receiving auto-replies.
FUCKING MORON.
Lol you are the definition of a scammer.
If this does not cease, I will have my uncles who are lawyers (and love to deal with bullies like you) file an injunction with Steemit Inc for your account information. And then forward it over to the authorities.
In the United States cyber-bullying is a clear case. Especially when the proof of loss of reputation and income is easy to prove on Steemit.
@chiefmappster is being followed by this flag bot because he is a prove liar and scammer. He will reply claiming this is bullying, however, these flags are being used as deisgned, to protect Steemians against future scams by @chiefmappster. Beware. He is a notorious liar and uses the name of the Lord to gain sympathy. Namaste.
"loss of income" lmao

Trust me. The flagging will not stop. That's how the system was build and how the system will be used.
Also, you're not losing income (again, you fucking moron). It's not yours until it's paid out, just like EVERYONE else here, and I'm removing it BEFORE that.
So again, go fuck yourself.

If enough high value accounts get together and flag the crap out of these crapsters, shouldn't that take care of it?
That might be a short-term solution if possible.
I am trying get the community to figure out a long-term solution before these kids and teens get on the platform. Because then this bullying is going to take a bad turn.
Appreciate you caring.
God bless.
