Hey @steemmonsters crew! Thanks for the numbers and predictions on the beta cards, and the optimistic sneek-peek into the next edition to come. Unfortunately, I have some disturbing news today, and thought I would post it here (and in Discord) for other players to see. I hope you will respond. Two months ago you made us aware of your "upvote feature", whereby we can send any amount of DEC to @splinterlands and get a nice upvote from "@steemmonsters". I have been doing that, assuming that this is a totally legitimate thing to do (as I wouldn't have even known about it if you hadn't brought it to our attention here in your official posts). Today I sent 2,000 DEC for my new post : https://steemit.com/steemmonsters/@transcript-junky/steem-monsters-drug-wars-power-strategy-tips-26 , and after the usual nice ~ $5.00 (~40% upvote) from you I was dismayed to then find a massive DOWNVOTE from @trafalgar and @traf (two seemingly associated accounts, based on their content). It seems that the reasoning for the downvote is because I am "buying votes". I don't look at it that way. In fact, your "upvote service" is the ONLY one I use, and I only use it for ONE of my three weekly Steemit series posts (you can check my profile). I have been assuming that this was totally legit, since you actually posted about it. So why am I then being punished for using this service as it was presented? This has cost me 2,000 of my hard-earned DEC this week, and so I would like to appeal to the SteemMonster admin for BOTH an explanation as to whether I have been "abusing" your upvote feature, and secondly, if you recommend that I STOP using your own feature, based on the risk of having my posts related to your game (and using it's native token) downvoted, thereby losing the tokens I have earned from the game. If it turns out to indeed be too risky for me to continue using the upvote feature then I would like to request some form of compensation (ONLY for this new post, because none of the others have been downvoted in the amount which basically cancels out your entire upvote). For instance, a few complementary beta packs (2-3) would be fair, since the upvote is (40% - $5.59). You guys have always been VERY FAIR, and so hopefully we can solve this without me losing my 2,000 DEC - especially since I had NO IDEA I was even doing anything potentially "wrong". If you DO compensate me for the loss I would also like to ask for your advice as to whether I should even bother using the upvote service if I (and other players) run the risk of having our entire DEC contribution wiped out with a large downvote. Please respond and advise, and I plan to contact some of the admin on Discord later today. Hopefully, I will get a response here before having to spend time doing that. I love the game, and am not on the "offensive" here. But I think it is justified for me to post this grievance due to the fact that I was simply following the "upvote feature" directions you provided here on this official profile. Any response is much appreciated. Thanks.
