Okay dreem, no worries. I unfollowed and removed my upvote. My upvote and resteem service will be provided to members regularly that do not mind a small promotion in my comment. I see nothing wrong with self-promotion and am anti censorship of any kind and thus believe the ability to downvote something into being less visible is terrible, tyranical and defeats the whole point to a blockchain, immutable record social media. That said, I very much respect others right to not be advertised to once they express the desire to not have it.
Please also remember that SPAM truly just stands for Super Potent Alpha Males.
Take care!
I will now also be muting all the downvoters so that I never see their messages again. We all have the right to choose to mute something for ourselves, but when we try to remove other people's access or ease of visibility to information we have become a bad person.
Interestingly, SPAM comes form old online communities, and the Monty Python sketch about SPAM.
The techniques do rive unwanted comments in forums was to reply SPAM many times (like the Monty Python sketch), to d
rive is down
Haha, very interesting indeed. But I prefer super potent alpha males...
Thank you so much @hobo.media
I think if you had asked - it probably would have been something that we could have discussed :) Always best to ask first. I am very specific about the content that i put in my posts and comments :) And those images were extremely massive. LOL Advertising on someone else's page is usually pretty frowned upon without knowing the person very well!
And hmmmm I am pretty Alpha. I'm also Super. Extremely Potent!!!
BUT...
female :)
you also take care! wish you the best on Steemit as you move forward in respect and grace!
p.s. downvoting does not remove the comment. and anyone who would like to see your content can easily reveal it. The point of the blockchain is not to allow people to use their influence to be forced onto people. Graffiti can be beautiful - or irritating. Your advertising, as colorful as it is, would be lovely on your own page! I prefer my page to be without it. :)
Terrible and tyrannical? hmmm a bit much, I think. lol
And in response your mute, I think that is a wonderful right that we all have to use. I also think it's a wonderful right for fellow Steemians to use their right to downvote unwanted SPAM - that's actually not just a right, but a responsibility of all Steemians to use. You see, @hobo.media, the right to protect one's own space flows both ways. You can't abuse other's rights while expecting to walk around shouting "tyranny" when you're trampling their rights. I'm thankful that @shadowspub, @bluefinstudios, and @eveningart (and also @ethandsmith who followed a flag that was removed, but Steemit mistakenly had it turned into an upvote when the flag was removed) took the time to use their flags judiciously. If they choose to remove their flags now that you deleted the content, that's up to them. I'm also positive it would be an act of grace on their part and not your mute that drove them to it.
I seriously hope that you can adjust your methods from this experience. I've not been unkind to you. I'm trying to help you to be a better Steemian. If you have things to advertise - by all means - do so from your own page, or with permission - on others. It's a fairly simple concept to adopt.
Also, I certainly hope that @kaliju is watching to see that you're not following ALL reviewme posts with your spamming. That would be unfortunate if you were.
