@winstonwolfe - I followed your post since the beginning of the day, and I have to say - you have nothing to apologize about. First of all, you were pretty sure that you found an issue that would cost all of us money, and you did your best to get the info out to the rest of us as quickly and clearly as possible.
Second of all, I read your post. I can't think of very many users that would say 'my earnings just dropped by a thousand dollars at the last minute, but I'm not mad at the site'. Most people would have exploded over this, and spent the next week trash talking Steemit and threatening to leave. I was on my cell-phone reading at the time (so I couldn't upvote), but I would have given you an upvote for that alone.
No worries man. We are glad to have you here. You are an asset to the community and there's nothing you need to be sorry for.
Did you ever find out what caused your post to drop by so much?
And yes, I did. It was my posting habit from the previous 3 days, which is weird because I was under the impression that it was based on a 24hr time frame. Either way, I DID post like crazy on the day of the hard fork, so I'm sure that had an effect on it. In either case, I've figured out what I need to do to prevent it in the future.
Interesting. I thought it was based off a 24 hour time frame too. You should do a post on that :) I'm sure it would be useful to a lot of people :)
Honestly, I'm probably just going to take a short break from making blog posts on here for a little bit. When I do, I think I'll be refraining from posting about the workings of Steemit.
Thank you for that. The responses from you guys are making me feel tons better about this.
I guess I expected a Facebook-level backlash. LOL
