It actually made me a little sad that he was fake, although I did mention that to several people in the beginning.
Me too, he seemed like a good one but it's so hard to know. I was most pleased to drop 100% downvotes on him once he was exposed though.
I am a builder, sort of.
You're a builder, definitely.
Our legacy platform really got me down with all those bid bots. I never used one, but, it was truly gut-wrenching to watch people buy their reps after I worked my butt off climbing. Nowadays, they walk in with
Legit Swigs, I agree completely. I just clicked over to a rep of 81 organically, no buy of rep or votes, and I wonder if people actually know how damned difficult it is.
I'm really pleased to see your second-last paragraph; it made me smile. I do what I do, some notice and others just see me downvoting bad actors, and try to penalise me for it. That comes with the territory though, and every time I return rewards to the pool I think of the person who probably deserves it more than who I took it from. That's how I deal with it in my head. I'm also pleased to know that you need to see people working for the rewards you give the, or the general support. A blockchain that does otherwise won't last long. Still, the opposite happens as some accounts don't care, they just want the curation. It's not my style though.
I have learned a lot from you and just so you know, it is appreciated.
And I you. Sometimes you've tempered my more...shall we say hardcore reactions and responses. What would the Swigly one do has come to mind a few times. So, thank you.
I missed the question, didn't I? ;)
You totally did. Spazz. But it's ok, you know I don't mind, the response was more than valid regardless.
