Wow it is really disheartening to see proactive post like this get downvotes... I just upvoted it under 1 % just so the concept is still there and not to burn resources, but this is a bit crazy. If I am understanding this correctly downvotes are not only bad for the post itself, but it also effects the people that upvoted the content and although that doesn't mean much to some whales... those little gains could mean the world of a difference to someone just building up their account...
I get that some people just have grudges or dislikes between individuals but lets not effect the community as a whole in such a way and work towards a more unified hive community.
One thought in this is in the future where you make a KEY post and have it translated in several different languages make the other languages all 100% to hive fund or charity or something of that nature and if those guys still downvote and repeated do so then they are just monsters and need to reevaluate their character as I can see some people against this as a way to farm rewards/reps, but seeing this happen so frequently is quite disheartening as an outside member looking in...
Maybe people don't consider the little thing like the rewards of people in other parts of the world but that 50% back from curating can go a long way for them and seeing 1-3 votes neutralize all of that is something else...
Hi @infinitytcg,
Yes... and it also sends the wrong message to our international community... and all the people looking from the outside in. This is pretty ridiculous. How are people supposed to promote Hive if the posts (like this one) have been DV'ed by closed minds into oblivion... It also signals fear and central control to anyone looking at this post. It's terrible and especially to a post that's meant to widen community reach and bring everyone together onto common ground and away from contention. I think more people should be expressing displeasure with this sort of behavior on the blockchain. We are all owners and therefor have a responsibility to bringUP social and forge new and better ways to human. THIS JUST ISN"T EVEN CLOSE!
For the full conversation I had with @guiltyparties (he runs @HiveWatchers, @Spaminator, and is affiliated with the @adm account that DV'ed all the paid translations of the Operation #Ping post) just check out the Spanish version of this post.
It's pretty disappointing to see people willing to vote their values into the world like this... especially when this would be considered terrible policy anywhere else in the tangible world or on social2.0.
Thank you for your comments.
From someone on the outside of Hive looking in... I think that what you have shared is pretty valuable and insightful. (and thank you for the ideas you shared. I will consider these as they may help put this sort of behavior in the light.)
All the best my friend,
