RE: Some thoughts on downvotes for adjustment of rewards

in #downvotes2 years ago (edited)

I will provide further explanation. I have discussed with mangowambo as well and he doesn't have any problem with it. So I don't understand why you have any problem.

I DV'ed the proposal at 100% to discourage spamming of proposals. As you know everyone have ideas and they can write a proposal. But just because you have a good idea doesn't make it a good proposal. It requires additional thoughts, consensus generation before it can/should be published. Notice how few community proposals actually passed :)

Also notice how few proposals in general are forwarded. My method is working.

Oh Adriana? That's a spammer. Has a very long history of spamming. It was not even a person for a long time :) you don't know a lot of things

I will provide further explanation.

I appreciate that!

Just lets be honest. He knows very well that expressing his anger could lead to further problems for him as a blogger in future. I don't say you would downvote him for that, but there is the possibility of it, which already can cause users to be very careful of what they are writing.

I fear the effect is that nearly nobody (who cares the least about his HIVE reputation) is still daring to put a proposal because nobody can guess in advance what HIVE whales like you might think about their ideas.

As you are here I would like to tell you that actually I rather often agree with your point of views (not always but more often than you might think). I see the problem not in what you say and do but how you do it:
I suspect you are reluctant to admit that your statements often contain more than just a pinch of arrogance. Why not replace it by kindness and a more communicative approach in some cases? :)
(Not that I would consider myself perfect - not at all ...)

Oh Adriana? That's a spammer.

In my eyes her posts are too good to call her a spammer, but actually I partly understand the downvotes. On the other hand this exact post was not bad at all. My approach would have been to at first give her a friendly hint to interact more with the community, and only after that wouldn't help I would consider other measures.
For example when she asked for the reason of the flags I would have given a friendlier answer than @galenkp (oh no: I am triggering the whole community now) by giving her a chance to change her behaviour. Actually she is replying to more comments than before after I suggested it to her.

... you don't know a lot of things

Well, even if I am here since 2016 lets say yes: of course I don't know everything (as you - of course - also don't know everything).
If there is more behind that certain account than I know, so it might be, and I happily would admit to be wrong.

I agree with you regarding my arrogance. It’s not just a pinch. It’s often a lot :)

Believe me, I know about that personality trait and I am concerned about it too. However, I often use it to my advantage.

Mangowambo doesn’t blog, so that hive reputation number doesn’t matter to him I told him if he just post any random blog I can provide a single upvote and that rep number will be restored.

Adriana has a really have a very long history only a few anti-abuse people know. I don’t want to discuss it in detail as it take a long time. Just will tell you, it was not a person but a modeling agency :) Please believe me.

PS. The person behind that account is NOT a she, it's a he :) Yes, the lady is real, but she doesn't manage the blog :)

I agree with you regarding my arrogance. It’s not just a pinch. It’s often a lot :)

Lol, you show a sense of humour (and also honesty) here, which I didn't expect! Nice to know. :)

If you meet me in real life you will see that I am just like this in person as well. People who met me during Splinterfest will agree. You can ask them. I will look forward to meet you. Hopefully next one will be in Asia.

I am the bald guy in grey jacket. I expect you know the rest of them.

Thanks, nice pics! Yes, I am ready (and happy) to change my opinion about someone if I am wrong.

Yes, Asia would be nice, and if my time allows we might meet each other there.
