@markrmorrisjr can you direct me to the original post about this again please? When you do decide on a definite day please give me at least a days notice and I will save my voting power so it will be as high as possible. My vote is only worth 0.01 at 100% but I will save my votes for this project if its possible. Although I am generous with my votes as much as I can be so its a little hard to hold out lol

Original post and the reason I will no longer support this user.
it is an interesting discussion on the 1st comment
@jan23com I just read the comment and I do have to say that it does raise a valid point to the discussion. However, I was one of the lucky few people to have attended the very first Dolphin School and I do believe that @markrmorrisjr worked endless hours for free helping multiple newbies grow their account. If it wasn't for that bootcamp, I would not have had such a boost in my account in such a short amount of time. There was a bit of disappointment from @markrmorrisjr as well as the students of the Dolphin School because we had originally thought that we would get a little bit more attention and interaction than we received. On a side note though, a few of us did get lucky and landed a $90+ plus payout, all thanks to the Dolphin School.
IF @markrmorrisjr is indeed doing this for the right reasons, it could be beneficial in some ways. Which if I understand it correctly, one of the reasons is to build @dolphinschool so that the next students can really benefit from it like it was originally meant to be. I completely see your concern as it could be a bit unnerving to watch or participate in a project and it make it to trending while your account is still tagging way below. On the other hand, it would be great to see a post make it to trending with the help of zero bots. I think it all comes down to your personal preference and how you view the situation. As with anything in life, it will work for some and not for others.
Thank you so much for directing me to the link! You really did tremendously help me out on that one :)
I followed at first. I upvoted some too, both in dolphinschool and markrmorrisjr along with some followers. maybe you got half a point from my upvote.
However, it does seem one-sided when you look at the user histories. Both accounts will upvote each other and very little from both account voting wise will go back to support a new user. At the same time, other's are criticised for upvoting their own comment from the same person.
I agree, that a lot of time is put into the work done. I do not think we should take everything a user may say at face value.
I am here to benefit if I can over time, and a reward of $90 for a post I made would be wonderful to me. a reward of $1 would be great too.
I looked at the histories of both accounts, over 20 days there had been 3 upvotes to others and the rest were upvotes to own accounts. Also the misuse of accounts owned by two others as stated in a reply by the user themselves. Using a relatives account to upvote your own posts can be classed as theft of opinion if not identity. If actions like this are acceptable. At what point does one person using the vote of another become wrong. Is it only when harm happens or is noticed?
I am not against Mark, I have my opinions and my own set of moral and ethical values. While I still upvote my own posts and comments. I share as much with other user's. Some I will give more votes to then I receive from as their vote is stronger than my own. On my own morals, I cannot support and promote this line of helping others.
But on the plus side, You got another follower.
Alright, you got me on this one. I don't really have a reply this time lol I will be looking into that further. I agree completely with what you are saying about the Upvotes. I do Upvote my own work sometimes too but also I am extremely generous with my Upvotes everyday. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
It is just my opinion, I may think too deep at times. But I like your discussion and open mind.
Wow. Cool. Good to know.
So, what is it you think I should change? I'm listening.
So, what are we talking about?
.
Let us compare what we have done when the game is over. I do not try to look or be cool, right. You are here for others to assist you in your own personal progress, which you admit here. I am no different to you or anyone else for that matter. You should concentrate on what you can do to improve you. You do not have to worry about what I do or do not do.
Opinions are only accepted to your reading when you agree. My opinion is not controlled by you or any other. the fact also you are not open to debate, leads to a conclusion you are also a dictatorial type person. Your experiment is flawed with its self-promotion style of encouragement to others. Providing a door to a destination does not give you any rights to own the opinion of any who may enter or peer through. Those are things beyond your control and my opinion will always be beyond your reach. I am not your sheep and I will not follow you blindly. While you may see yourself as the shepherd, I do not see you that way. Accept it get over it move on, cause that is what mature people do.
