@slinkytheprophet I want to apologize for my reaction. For years I am actively fighting this kind of behavior on Splintertalk. I have been working incredibly hard on my reputation on HIVE and especially as @monster-curator. Just days ago I re-discovered an entire army of Koreans, who have been doing what you just did but with malicious intent to farm rewards with zero effort. You actually put in as much effort as calculating your $$ rewards and put the cards in a nice table. I have to give you that.
The fact that we know each other via @e-rich1, that I supported you in the past and that both @e-rich1 and @ricorose (one 1UP co-founders and one official delegatee/curator of ONEUP) upvoted many of these posts of yours from yesterday, because you are friends, made me feeling incredible sad, angry and fearful for my own reputation on the blockchain. It looked bad and could have easily be interpreted as if all these account are MY ACCOUNTS and I am just doing all this stuff myself to leech rewards with sock puppet accounts. I have seen these things many times before and HIVE always discovers when people start these abusive behaviors.
I know you are not trying to bring harm. We talked about these kind of posts and I said before they are harmless and it is better you start producing content than not doing it all. I still believe that, although also see these kind of posts as useless to the HIVE blockchain and meaningless to the Splintertalk community. For 1UP, I see them as a danger, because if we wouldn't take care, the value of ONEUP would just fall to near zero because we cannot take care of our own people.
I have to blame myself, though. All of you are new and unexperienced and I was too busy with all my projects to properly guide you. I have overreacted and wanted to show the entire blockchain how serious I am about this. In a way I had to but I should have talked with you privately first and find a solution for this in a more civilized manner. The mute on 1UP was also a knee-jerk reaction of mine and just goes to show how centralized and controlled our entire system is - something that I hate and wish would be more decentralized, so I wouldn't even be able to react like that. But it is what it is and all I can do now is undo the mute and apologize for my own behavior.
Today is the most important day of my working life so far, the culmination of tons of collaborative work. Instead of focusing on that I have wasted a lot of time on this last night and now. Time that I don't have. Probably a major factor why I exploded so much in the first place. Not a justification but another reason for my own behavior.
I would like to encourage you to continue posting on this account. What kind of content and quality is 100% up to you and I will not judge or interfere - as long as it is done without content spam and massive circle jerk voting. I wouldn't want to loose you because of this and I do appreciate the level of detail you put into research like your Hashkings engagement. That is what I would hope to see more from you on HIVE.
