Hello everyone,
As you can see from my account reputation level, I’m new in the platform. Two days ago I received a heavy downvote following the publication of this post on the @NaturalMedicine community.
I would like to point out that the post is 100% original, as you can verify with any online plagiarism checker. It is a scientific post, so obviously it must cite the sources, and I did. The images are also copyright-free and the source is cited correctly.
At first, I did not understand what the reason was and I was confused, because there was no comment explaining the reason for the downvote. So I asked my girlfriend, who has been on Hive since 2019, but she also couldn’t understand it, so we wrote to the admins.
None of the admins responded to us for two days. @plantpoweronhive @amazingdrinks @foodiesunite
Only after checking the previous posts, I realized that they had asked me to publish photos of myself, to verify my identity. There are two problems:
1 This rule is not mentioned in the community rules, which are:
2 Why should I post photos of my face, given that there are people who know me in the real world and have already verified my identity?
I think that one of the riches of the decentralized world is privacy. I did not expect such behavior from one of the largest communities on Hive.
Surely this attitude will alienate many new users who, like me, simply read the rules that are reported and decide to post on NaturalMedicine because it seems like an interesting community.
The worst aspect is that days go by, no one responds, the downvote is still present and I am muted in the community.
So, I ask you, people of Hive: is this behavior correct? Please let me know what you think.
Ciao a tutti,
Come potete vedere dal livello di reputazione del mio account, sono nuovo sulla piattaforma. Due giorni fa ho ricevuto un downvote pesante a seguito della pubblicazione di questo post sulla community @NaturalMedicine.
Preciso che il post è 100% originale, come potete verificare con qualsiasi plagiarism checker online. E’ un post scientifico, quindi ovviamente deve riportare le fonti, e l’ho fatto. Anche le immagini sono senza copyright e la fonte è citata correttamente.
All’inizio, non capivo quale fosse il motivo ed ero confuso, perché non c’era nessun commento che spiegasse il motivo del downvote. Allora ho chiesto alla mia fidanzata, che è su Hive dal 2019, ma anche lei non riusciva a capirlo, quindi abbiamo scritto agli admin.
Nessuno degli admin ci ha risposto per due giorni. @plantpoweronhive @amazingdrinks @foodiesunite
Solo dopo aver controllato anche i precedenti post, mi sono accorto che mi avevano chiesto di pubblicare delle foto di me stesso, per verificare l’identità. I problemi sono due:
1 Questa regola non è menzionata nelle regole della community, che sono:
2 Per quale motivo dovrei pubblicare foto della mia faccia, dato che ci sono persone che mi conoscono nel mondo reale e hanno già verificato la mia identità?
Penso che una ricchezza del mondo decentralizzato sia proprio la privacy. Non mi aspettavo un comportamento simile da una delle community più grandi su Hive.
Sicuramente questo atteggiamento allontanerà molti utenti nuovi che, come me, semplicemente leggono le regole che sono riportate e decidono di pubblicare su NaturalMedicine perché sembra una community interessante.
L’aspetto più grave è che i giorni passano, nessuno risponde, il downvote è ancora presente e sono mutato nella community.
Quindi, chiedo a voi, popolo di Hive: è corretto questo comportamento? Per favore fatemi sapere cosa ne pensate.
Every community has its rules, and participating in it means adhering to them.
I've never shown my face here, and I've been around for ages. On the other hand, I've never posted into any of these communities.
I believe they won't downvote posts published elsewhere, so you can play their game in their communites, look for another ones with less strict rules, or even found your own community/ies.
Or perhaps try to reach out to the moderators and solve the issue.
Thanks for your reply. You are right, I'll just post on other communities now, it's simple...
But is it normal to downvote without explanation? This bothered me.
Of course I tried to contact the moderators, but they didn't answer me...
Not really. People usually warn you before downvoting.
Hi, @godfish,

I've never been asked to show my face. It seems like a weird rule for a hive community.
Fair enough that you would need to verify that your content is original if it's flagging as something else but there are lots of ways to do that.
Thanks for your reply. I also find this rule strange, but it is legitimate that each community decides what they think is best, we are in a free world...
What bothered me is the lack of responses from the admins and the fact that this rule is not written in the community rules.
Allucinante!
vediamo cosa rispondono e speriamo ti smutano, è un peccato
Grazie. Penso e spero che sia solo un errore...
