Wow that was a lot to go through. I can safely say now that this author isn't genuine. that's pretty disheartening cause I liked the fact that she was able to do it all on her own. But after noticing a ramp up in posts, I myself was wondering, but shook it off. Now this section/ article. Makes complete sense. Bye @sweetsssj, (and crew) y'all got me for a little bit it's ok, but you should really come on out and tell the truth. Read the white paper. TYVM @randompic. Sorry you are at 4. Maybe you can get a shot with NED too to help get you back to a respectable number.
What really gets me though is that mob mentality. they didn't like what you said so you got silenced through beating up your reputation. thats what steemit is about? Is that it? Thats the message Steemit has to offer? Get away from Facebook so that we can judge you over here and really silence you by flagging you for questioning authenticity.
Good job @steemit you got a black eye in my opinion on this. Ridiculousness.
If randompic didn't post endless (hundreds) of defamatory posts attacking sweetssj then there would be nothing to downvote. Spamming another person's post with endless assaults and baseless defamatory comments (you can check this yourself) is elevated above what is considered acceptable. Not to mention it's just downright rude. If you are going to support this kind of user, then you are simply no different. You should get your own facts straight before jumping to conclusions.
Both Ned the CEO of Steemit and other top users like donkeypong have spoken (and even met)sweetsssj in person, clearly they spoke English. They certainly don't need to waste their time to state the obvious just because some troll decides to gather a bunch of other jealous immature kids to launch a witch hunt.
Steemit have got nothing to do with randompic's reputation lowering to 4. The only downvotes (which is the only way his reputation can go down) were to his excessive and baseless defamatory posts that were spammed across hundreds of other users comments. One post making the enquiry is quite enough, not 200.
