There is no need to create a rule that says don't abuse the system. Everyone who was involved knew he was abusing the system. Unvoting massive amount of posts isn't something you do without any reason.
To some degree I guess it was my own fault that I didn't recognize that loophole.
Maybe some users who are actually supporting the platform were caught in the middle of the blacklisting.
Thats why I give everyone a chance to redeem himself. Upvote and curate content for the next two weeks on dMania. Upvote fair and without any intent of selfishness or abuse.
In two weeks I will check the vote distributions of the users who were blacklisted and If I am satisfied I will remove them from the blacklist.

That's now the fair desicion of you @zombee. Thanks for that. There is no explanation of this issue i know but i want make it more clear to everyone so that can be more understandable.

If you get unvotes from everyone it begins annoying and you start also unvote them too. I think most of supporters did it same way. Indeed it's not an excuse but unvoting gives nothing back to us accept being authorized. If we are authorized that means only we can give a little chance to good memes, that's all. We don't get rewarded because of unvoting. As i said it was a mistake and will never happen again.

We will keep supporting dMania and our voting diversity will more fair than the past. Thanks again for giving this chance to us.

PS: Can you invite me to discord please? Thanks in advance.

Doing the silly unvoting is clearly not even necessary to maintain proper diversity, and some users picked up the trend without really thinking about the harm it could cause to the platform. As is the case with life in general, going nuclear against someone who makes a mistake is probably not the best solution. Fair warning with fair and temporary punishment is how people learn, by suffering the consequences from their mistakes, but while also having an opportunity to learn from it, mature, and leave the consequences behind after their time is due.

@zombee, while is it true users (me included) should have inform you about the loophole, instead of adopting the trend without thinking about it, it is also true that forbidding the use of the platform for life might not be the best measure if the goal is having an active and growing community. I understand the fact that the silly unvoting trend should be punished, but not for life. One silly mistake is not deserving of that permanent punishment.

I believe the 2 weeks ban you are proposing now with vote diversity checking is fair and will clearly serve as an example to others.

This is really fair desicion zombee, I appreciate it

In my opinion you did best one as a founder of dmania , thanks for understanding. I believe most of dmanians are goodwill, only made a mistake. So after that everybody will be more careful about the conmunity and system. Thanks and please invite us again to discord :) @zombee

Thanks... that is fair enough! I am happy with your final decisions!

I want to vote a lot of different persons' meme -if it is funny- for Gini Simpson.
Therefore I'm voting with %10, %15 or %51.
Is this a problem?

Hi @zombee

Thank you for giving us a second chance :)
I will be more careful after that
I love Dmania..

It's really good to hear that..
Thank you @zombee

We have violated a rule which is not exist.
But i think it was not a big mistake for being blacklisted without any warning.

I hope @zombee consider this issue again. Because we didnt know that it doesnt obey the rules. If we know we never do that. We love dmania and We are always trying creating high quality memes. For sure unvoting post is not a good behaviour. I dont defend certainly. But i think these dmanians deserve the second chance too.

Hi @zombee,

I started to focus on dMania content. And it was only 4 days.
I was try to understend the Gini Simpson. And I realized that I did not love voting to the same persons. BUT I was using SteemAuto and it's voted all friends and my sister and relatives.

I just "want to fix" and unvoted myfriends. I even told people I know. Thinking I did them a favor; I said, "fix your gini-simpson", "unvote your own meme's votes."
As I mentioned, it was only 4 days and I did not know.

And .. We have entered the blacklist :)

Everyone deserves a second chance

I am very pleased to consider re-evaluating the list.

I also want to add something. Unvoting is only affects being yellow or green. This is not related with the reward. Because dmanians who dont delegate can win the prize. That was pyscologic maybe. I am sorry about all of this. So finally it will make happy to many dmanians to reset all and give second chance. @zombee thanks for considiration
