RE: Daily hit-parade for newcomers - 2019.11.15

Hello Arcange, I got a question please:

These days are more and more downvotes... no worries they do not really hurt me or elsewhere for now and it's a good way to mute some sillies! It's just in the beginning I found it quite funny how like cammillosteemdreamer tries to annoy us.

When this happens I always check the account involved, to get why or what or ever... So I realized that the last weeks that more and more brand new created accounts down vote on my posts and nearly "all" show this in their wallet...

So back to my question which is:

Have you, as an approved witness from my side, a possibility to stop all this sillyness?
Like starting a discussion to include a "downvote barrier" on newly created accounts for at least some time until they get really involved with their brain on steem...

Or have you the possibility to at least stop sending them your message? For I'm not to comfy with the idea that you as my approved witness kind of "encourage" them with you sending them a welcome.

Anyway, thanks a lot for reading and may even responding.
Peace Love and Grooviness

    Hello @mondoshawan,

    Have you, as an approved witness from my side, a possibility to stop all this sillyness?

    Short answer: no. This is how the blockchain works.
    I'm personally not a fan of downvotes at all, because they generate more frustration than beneficial effects (considering they can sometimes be useful)
    There are already a lot of discussions among witnesses about downvotes. Not sure we will see a major change until communities are out there with SMT

    Or have you the possibility to at least stop sending them your message?

    I already tweaked my "thank you" bot to lower such abuse.
    But, you have to know that, at the same time, these messages are used to track those accounts (me being some kind of honeypot)
    The amount involved is really low (less than a few STEEMs) but very beneficial for abuse fighters like @steemcleaners.

    thanks a lot for reading and may even responding.
