RE: My first post...

in #life6 years ago (edited)

It's because I pick my language wisely depending the person's attitude in front of me each time. You are doing great on Steemit and congratulations. However, Steemit is nothing more than just another social media platform and part of the world we live in. And this world is supposed to be a free world (in theory), right? So, anyone can vote/support whoever he/she wants to. The upvoter in this case has created 95% of his SP from his own pocket (FIAT money he made in the real world and invested on Steemit), so if he wants to support people from his real environment, I don't see where is the problem exactly. Do you?

I have been raised in a way to respect the rules of the house I'm in it.
In that sense, Steemit "house" has its rules as well. They are very transparently delivered to every new user, before creating their first post, in the following form.
When you first log in to your Steemit Account

Some of those links are:

Through above-listed links, every new user would be guided as well to read "Helpful Posts from Steemit Users" among which they may find the following ones:

According to all just listed, and to answer your question, that's exactly where the problem is and where I see it!

We don't disagree there at all. I am 100% for crediting sources correctly and respecting the rules of the platform that host us. Sure!!! However, if the experienced steemians like you and me attack newbies by doing a mistake in their very first post instead of guiding them and showing them the right way, Steemit will become a ''prive club'' for very few members and that's the ideal way to fail and never grow as a community. It's her first post, she made a mistake as she didn't know better. Show her the right way, don't take her head off because she got a fat vote. That is my opinion. Have a nice day :)

I'm not taking her head off, I told her what Steemit community values.

"Steemit Community values original and quality content!"

Her head has been taken off by those that brought her here without teaching and guiding her but upvoting her just because they know her from their real-life environment.

If every one of us brings here our real-life guild to upvote each other just because we know each other from the real world and no matter of the content quality or originality that we would provide, Steemit would also become just another "prive club" but for certain group of members!

Think about it and have a nice day too!
