@chbartist is buying yet more votes from @smartmarket. The screenshot captures the last 11 hours. Remember this post is 3 days old. This is blatant abuse and it appears that nobody gives a fuck.
Do you care that this guy is draining the rewards pool? Do you care that this guy is putting off potential investors?
This nasty fucker wanted me to pay him 10K Steem just to prove his identity
Okay @mightyblueberry , since you like children's games I'll propose you an adult and then we'll see who's who.
I've tasted for steacleaner in the beginning, @therealwolf and many other people on the platform who I am, but with you I want to do differently since you're so good at insisting on this stupid question.
So adult business is like this and let's see if you can afford to pay your disrespect.
My proposal is:
If I prove to you that I am who you think I am not you will have to pay me 10k steems ok? and if I'm not I'll pay for you. Also if I am not who you say I am not you will have to apologize to me publicly in a post and will have to promote it in all the bots ok?
This is adult stuff. So how's Bro? Do you agree? Let's see how much you are able to pay for your disrespect with people ....
Here is the link. It is buried deep because of the downvotes.
Hey @patrice, how long is this bullshit going to continue? There are other people on this platform that want to earn rewards for their content. I am aware that @steamcleaners have verified @chbartist to be Christopher Bonella. I strongly believe you have been duped. If that is the case, do you have any idea how much damage you could be doing to the reputation of Steem?
For what it's worth. I contacted Christopher Bonella via his Facebook page, and he confirmed that the Steemit profile is his.
I guess that settles that.
Thanks for getting a response. This is just the weirdest thing I have ever seen. He puts himself at the top of the trending page. He obviously spends a great deal of time on this platform. He does not share his music. He does not promote his Steem account on any of his other social media. He clearly has access to his Facebook account as he responded to you. Even the photograph introducing himself was photoshopped, I guess he was just refining it rather than altering it. It is all crazy. It should have been so easy for him to just post a 1 minutes video introducing himself. Anyway, I am glad this is all sorted.
It definitely is very weird. But seems to be legit, so there's not much that can be done about this at this point. Sadly.
I guess the best thing to do is just to ignore this guy.
I came after him really aggressively because I was confident that he was not who claimed to be. A message from his Facebook account is pretty strong compelling evidence.
I apologised to him in his most recent post. He accepted my apology. I think it is best to move on.
There is a learning curve everyone should experience. The fact that someone can just push themselves to trending right from the start is detrimental to both them and the platform. Something is going to have to change, otherwise this platform is going to look ridiculous.
