@berniesanders @inquiringtimes @surfermarly @fulltimegeek @sneak @noisy and everyone else who is reacting negativley to this posting....
If you want to see the steem community grow.... we recommend trying positive communication instead of immidiantly smashing down on what you don't like.
There is no guide to steem. No list of steem community protocols we've been able to find. No way for us to know what to and not to do.... So we're doing the best we can to figure out how to be here in a good way.
In an move to share an interesting conversation and offer help and thoughts towards solutions for steem.... You have met us with a lot of hate.
In the future, we invite you to be kinder to new people coming into this community offering to share. It will go a very long way towards the growth of this community.
So. Is there a cut off limit of what is too much to boost? At what point can we use mercenary upvote bots without attracting your wrath? If any of our posts hit trending now, are you going to shoot us down?
What will it take for us to be in peace?
@inquiringtimes we changed the steemfest tag since you mentioned that this post is considering spam in that catagory. We'd like you to know we never post plagurized information. We're interested in what else you think were doing that is considered spam by the steem community?
In General.... we want to be on good terms with all of the steem community. If you will just communicate with us how to best do that, that would be great! Please, consider writing a guide on standard community protocols and make that guide available to everyone so new people coming into steem don't have to learn "The hard way" by having all this emotional reactions/downvotes sent their way.
Just stop that. Our community is growing at a healthy pace. We don't need the help of phonies like you and no we are not going to tell you how to maximize your vote buying abuse without getting flags.
It's not really growing at a healthy pace but a snail pace. We don't even have a million users after the first year!
Why do you seem so hurt by us @acidyo? Were on your side too. We don't mean to "abuse vote buying".
Yet you keep doing it after being told that's what it is.
At that point, it's no longer innocent.
Thank you, Winston!
It turns out to become ridiculous. The only statement missing here is "Oh we didn't know that excessive vote buying could harm the eco-system".
Oh man.....!
Why are you so triggered about us and this post @surfermarly?
It's not this post specifically, I generally care for the future of this platform.
We have been convinced! We will not be using up-vote bots in the same way in the future. Thank you for understanding that we did not understand @winstonwolfe
In other words, drink, be merry, and nevermind the man behind the curtain? Just be blissfully ignorant while you scam on?
Will you elaborate on what you think were scamming on about?
Oh yunno, that thing you're doing that you're labeling as "not a scam" even though you're being told very plainly and clearly it's what you're doing by multiple big-hitters on the site (many of whom don't get along, btw - that should say something).
Again, what is the "thing were doing"?
Well it's obviously not listening.
We are trying @winstonwolfe! We are here for you and doing the best we can to play nicely and inspire dialogue while adding value to the community.
Please, give us a break.
Please view the most recent reply from ats.david. If you want something crystal clear, that's about as clear as you'll get. Although I have a hunch you'll shrug it off and try continuing on with your "plan".
Can you tell us about this aspect of your scheme?

✅ It costs 100$ worth of Keys or Keys Credits to join the Steem Guild. Send the Keys to [email protected] and fill out the form below to get started.
Sounds pretty suspicious to me...
I'm really glad you paid to have this post put on the trending page. It's getting a lot of great visibility.
We would love to show you what we do and what were really on about over a phone or video call @berniesanders.
The Earth Nation Steemit Guild is a designed to support content creators in earning a basic living income through Steem. We have several layers with which we do this.
Education. https://awakening-sovereignty-collective.teachable.com/p/steemit-academy
This steemit academy is a free general overview. We have an advanced academy and we are developing an Academy for writers/content creation/content curation/content formatting/audience and keyword targeting.
Community Support. We hold globally attendable zoom meetings several times a week to educate and support our guild members with live training, Q&A and general love and support.
Cross-Liking. Our guild members give 7 votes a day towards upvoting each other. We have a custom software system to make this process automatic. 2 times a day everyone upvotes the main EN Whale. The other 5 votes are spent on 5 guild members who's time it is to get boosted. Members get upvoted every 1-2 weeks currently. When a member gets upvoted, every member of our guild upvotes them with full power.
Cross-Resteeming. Each guild member resteems Guild Content 3 times a week. The first resteem is an EN Whale posting. The 2nd and 3rd resteems are of other guild members. Anytime a post is resteemed it is also upvoted by everyone.
Curation. Before any content is upvoted or resteemed, it is curated, proof-read and edited by our writers team to ensure the highest quality content with positive perspectives.
Post Syndication. We currently use zapier, streemian, buffer, and wordpress pluggins to automatically syndicate with post formating our guild members posts to social media sites and wordpress blogs agross the internet. Within weeks we will have a custom application that makes this process a simple 3 step task with unlimited sharing and smart post content formating. This software will be part of the guild automation suite.
I am not very happy to know about the abusive behaviors of @earthnation toward using bots and the reward pool.
However, I do see value in the idea of implementing the influence measure to steemit accounts.
I believe that the advantages from such implementation are worth considering because (in my opinion)
* They will prevent circle and feedback-loop upvotes between whales and Co.
* They will prevent automated votes on the same accounts just for the sake of higher curation rewards, without bothering to read the contents.
* They will prevent @earthnation and others from abusing bot votes to the extreme (if at all)
Now whether @earthnation does this programing/implementation to steemit blockchain or not, is another issue to be discussed. I am sure steemit has lots of good programmer who are able to make such changes without depending on @earthnation. since people don't seem to trust them very much.
@earthnation,
You have started the very wrong way. People are getting fed up with abuse of reward pools and are very ready to attack anyone that does it openly to get attention.
Maybe you were doing this without malicious intent, it will be hard now to get back the respect and trust of steemit. Yet, hard doesnt mean impossible to correct with hard work and sincerity. So, don't make it impossible by continuing on the same path you started with.
Best,
Dr. TLK
You have collected your daily Power Up! This post received an upvote worth of 0.15$.
Learn how to Power Up Smart here!
Honestly, I get 15 of those requests a day, 14 of which are more enticing than yours.
My suggestion is that you start making whatever it is you're doing a little more transparent to the community here on Steemit because right now you're looking pretty scammy and those usually don't last long here.
What details would you like @berniesanders? We will happily answer any questions you have. I posted a short summary as to our guild services below.
As you read this, were working on developing more services for steem. We were considering making this defender bot swarm next... However that doesn't seem like a very popular idea right now :p.
Instead, were going to keep focusing on our post distribution system to empower steemians to share their posts easily to other forms of social media.
