RE: OPEN LETTER TO @WHALES: please be mindfull with your MASS-DOWNVOTES before it's to late

in #steem5 years ago

Downvotes can be abused, but they have already done a lot of good. Hundreds of dollars in rewards have been returned to the pool instead of going to people who just milk them with self-votes or buy buying votes on junk posts. I could find you plenty of examples. I have seen some people threaten to 'rage quit' because they got flagged, but in some cases they bought massive votes on low quality posts. That is not good for Steem as it sets a bad example. Some of the vote sellers are not happy either as they are losing business, but they will have to adapt. There are still ways to make money.

No system is perfect, but this is what we have now.

I have not had them lately, but your transfer memos are a form of spam. If you have something to say then make a comment and take the risk on it being downvoted.

It looks like you were just downvoted by one person with multiple accounts.

Sort:  

I fear to downvote some of the abusers because they have waaaay more steem power they have over 100k in some cases, even if I am in the right they might just bring me to 0 for spite

There are plenty who have a lot less as they keep powering down to buy more votes. If more people do this then it is not practical to retaliate.

I would say you should consider not giving your own comment such a big vote. That may be seen as greedy and attract downvotes. #NewSteem is about helping others. You still get curation rewards.

I see you are already getting downvoted. It may be worth rethinking your strategy. Steem has changed.

Bullshit. Why don't you go write Whatsup that line of crap.

Late thank you for dropping by and for your comment @steevc
