It's not very common for folks to jsut randomly target people with downvotes..
Very likely that you posted something that was taken from another site (plagiarism), were abusing hashtags or did something that isn't well regarded in the community to deserve said downvotes.
@themarkymark is a bit of a hard ass, but for the most part is a level headed and fair person. If you honestly believe you are being flagged by mistake perhaps make an appeal to him with proof that you created these photographs and this will likely all blow over.
It is hard for new users sometimes, however it's likely that @themarkymark is just doing his job of trying to protect against plagiarism.. My advice is reach out and talk to him about it, I'd like to see this get resolved and you flourish on HIVE.
I agree with this.
@themarkymark does throw his weight around, but he does not seem to be unreasonable and he seems to really care about this platform.
I try to stay out of drama So I don't know whose side to take here but if you are really being honest, please stay here and make your case. we will all grow because of it and you'll get the respect you deserve if you remain civil. The harder things are for you, the greater the rewards will be in the end, that's how this place seems to work.
Please get to know us and you'll see it's worth sticking around. Definitely better than Twitter. Good on you for promoting a post and raising awareness of your issue.
I find that just making an effort to stay on good terms with everyone without censoring myself is enough to avoid issues with anyone. The one time I did have an issue with someone it was @themarkymark who came to my rescue. Might be a misunderstanding!
