RE: @pfunk Cenorsing Steemit.Chat To Minimize Criticism Of Steemit's Downtime

in #steemit8 years ago

You've spent an awful lot of time on this thread talking about how you felt the blockchain being down was such a serious issue. In your own words, it was "a big deal", "a high severity issue", "a high priority emergency class problem".

If you felt so strongly about it, if you thought it was so serious, then why were you not acting like it? Why were you stirring shit up, making irresponsible claims such as "the IRS seized steem and @ned and @dan have fled the country"? Do you think it's funny to make false and defamatory/libelous statements, especially in the midst of situation that you considered so serious? What's your major malfunction?

As for you being censored, you should understand that the steem blockchain itself is censorship free. Even steemit.com is highly tolerant of diverse opinions. But there's a reputation system here for a reason. And the chat has moderators for a reason. It's to keep people like you from running amok. You don't get to cause all the trouble you like and undo the hard work of so many who invest their time into this platform. Understand?

Sort:  

"then why were you not acting like it? "

I messaged every account that I knew had some sort of connection to the actual devs. I learned they were notified and working on the issue. What else am I to do? I'm not a dev on the project, I'm not a witness. Just because I understand that it was a high priority doesn't enable me to fix it on my own.

"Do you think it's funny to make false and defamatory/libelous statements"

You obviously don't have a very strong grasp of the terms you are throwing around. I invite you to look into the well established case law regarding satire and comedy.

"And the chat has moderators for a reason."

@pfunk is a bad moderator, end of discussion. He was only protecting his ego because I had valid point contrary to his and that didn't look good for him. Luckily some other moderators know me and understand humor so they lifted the mute.

"there's a reputation system here for a reason"
I have a fairly good reputation under that system because I contribute and my sense of humor is enjoyed.

"Understand?"

No, as addressed above this was a bad ban. @pfunk was completely in the wrong end of story. I love how you chose to never once address that I was also informing users for hours about the outage. So I make a joke and then 15 seconds later follow it up with the real information. The claim that I was causing panic is complete bullshit. The only thing I was causing was LOLs.

Go read the logs I, I've reread them there was no widespread panic.
