Hello Steemit.
I'm posting on behalf of @iloveupvotes . Wait, wait, don't go away yet. He is the one everyone loves to hate right now, but I'll make this post in hopes of easing tensions and creating better behavior.
A few days ago I made this git issue https://github.com/steemit/steemit.com/issues/1115 where I suggested that @ mentions should not cause pop-ups for users with reps less then 0. However, it was implemented for reps less then 40.
I was mostly fine with this, but @iloveupvotes brings up the point that this does remove a feature from a brand new user with rep 25. I can see both sides of this issue, but it might be better to set the threshold to something like 15 rep.
This way, a brand new user can enjoy this useful feature, but if it is abused, a few flags can put a stop to it.
Thanks for reading, and happy steeming!
I imagine this was the point. Whats to stop ILUV (or anyone else with bad intentions) from making a brand new account, spamming for a few hours until he's caught, then rinsing and repeating.
its relatively easy to get from 25 to 40 (remember, 25 is the real zero point for the actual rep number), and this shouldnt remove the mention power from a new user not up to no good for very long, IMO.
For example, @roadblock66 got there with 20 cents in lifetime earnings.
Yep! Understood, 40 rep is pretty easy to get so I can see why they picked that. It does cost a little bit to create a new account.
"I may be the worst" If you agree with me, then you shouldn't be angry about me stating the truth.
You are the one making the claim. The burden of proof is on you. I don't have to prove that berniesanders is not doing anything wrong, you have to prove that he is. Which you have still not done.
Do you deny that you are the worst spammer on Steemit?
Ok I'm done talking with you. You are completely irrational.
Hey, keep your promises. I see you are still spamming now.
@berniesanders is not terrorizing innocent people. I've seen no evidence of this. If you have some, please show it. He only goes after accounts that misbehave, like you've been doing.
But if you feel he's been doing something wrong, and you want to do something about it, here's how:
If you make a post like this, I'll vote it up, and I'm sure others will too, your message will be heard if you do this.
Yes, I've read that whole thread. That just shows him going after an account that's misbehaving (you).
I see there that berniesanders is dishing out some insults to you and r4fkin, both of which deserve it as far as I can tell. You've been pretty insulting to me and I've seen you say nasty things to others here.
