Noticed some funny activity lately by someone who many of you all were on the edge of your seat to defend.
Retaliation I kind of expect so it's nothing surprising, although it's a bit ironic they'd go for ocd and poshtoken posts that quite literally don't benefit me personally at all. Ironic because poshtoken uses all of its author rewards for different things like weekly contests to the best shareres as highlighted by @x-rain and ocd sends all rewards to curators and voters as you can see by the beneficiary settings on each post - something freecompliments failed to do with his own accounts.
What is quite wild however, is to see the same account go out and start selfvoting quite an obvious farm account he most likely had just created.
(the list goes on): https://peakd.com/@freecompliments/activities
This is supposedly valuable for our blockchain that he would like to see being paid out:
This is the epitome of "if I can't have it my way I'll try my best to make it worse for others and attempt to maximize on my way out as well". Quite shameful practices by someone posting about being a licensed doctor.
Anyway, just thought I'd make a quick post pointing out to this activity. I realize I've been leaving notes at the end of my posts lately mentioning what I'm doing with the post rewards and that might be annoying, but many of you probably just use hive on the phone and don't click on the pending payout icon to find out I'm not accepting most of the rewards then go around judging me for self-voting and farming without knowing or purposely ignoring that fact.
Forfeiting author rewards.
man, you guys at the top have a hell of a job, keeping this place together, kudos to you all. I don't think I could handle the stress it must bring.
For real!!! And when you step on people's toes just be ready for what's coming your way.
These things aren't so bad, what's worse is when others go way and beyond trying to paint you in a bad light just cause of their irrational fear of downvotes or try to make things political and attempt to drag you down with them. That can get quite annoying and disappointing all in one go.
Third option is those that going with conspiracy theories and make weird stories just to put you in the bad light - but I guess it's a similar case
Shame someone can't develop a nuke button!
That new account thing is both sad and hilarious at the same time, it's like a kid who can't get his candy... That spam farm is so obvious I expect other top holders to downvote that to death aswell. All trash sentences maybe even ai generated with some bot and an autovote set lol it's Tony Montana reborn ? Same crazyness
Some Hivers aren’t interested in anything except passively getting upvotes for their posts, others work on meaningless projects like some Hive Engine tokens instead of doing something useful to help the chain. But that's another level of disappointment, honestly - still trying to digest that: some Hivers harm @poshtoken / HivePosh, a project that’s trying to pave the way for Hive’s future. I mean this
And I mean the recent harmful activity against Redditposh.
There's a lot of ways to do harmful things on hive, we also see many who become obsessed with being vindictive/spammy and wasting many hours/days on getting back at someone who rightfully got in the way of their abuse.
Very few reasons to try and do the right thing however, but I'm glad we can be a lot more rewarding towards those people.
That is unfortunate. One question I have is why is he self voting with only 25%? Why not 100%?
I guess to make it harder to downvote/waste more time of manual voters. Thankfully @themarkymark was helpful there on placing the account on an auto downvoter
Dang bro, people are so... people-y... that I often ask myself why my career focuses on working with people 😐
The good ones make it worth it I guess.
They always do :)
Ah, I was hoping it wasn't who I thought it was going to be. That's too bad.
Self voting and farming are not good practices for a healthy ecosystem. It’s a hectic work to keep trying to keep this place sane for all. You and the team are doing a great work. I don’t know how long I would hold up with all that craziness is I was the one. Kudos
Well, Inleo kinda empowers such meaningless content - the more the merrier is the spirit. Self voting such comments is shabby though.
some crazy people here on Hive.
It's decentralized so naturally there'll be many of all kinds.
@acidiyo... I am a fan. Keep the good works.
The user "trumpman" consistently self-votes and receives upvotes from accounts they have delegated to, such as "ssg-community." I recall reading about bots returning in a different form, and there are many ways the system can be exploited.
