RE: we-the-people: your witness

in #witness4 years ago

Hi @arcange, thanks for sending back this small trasfer.
Do you think that sending small amount by transfer is spamming users?
We take this idea from you:

and we think is not really spamming, you can just read it or ignore it.

If we send a lot of these transfers, yes, can be call it a spam, but only one, just to kindly ask to take a look to our witness, we think is not spamming.

We respect your opinion and will never send a transfer to you again, we are so sorry.

Have a nice day.

"Spamming is the use of messaging systems to send an unsolicited message (spam) to large numbers of recipients for the purpose of commercial advertising"
source: wikipedia

According to this definition, sending out 937 unsolicited transfers, begging people for their witness vote and linking to a post where you offer rewards for votes is indeed spamming.
Paying people to get a vote is all but democracy and more related to a commercial activity to me.

There is a HUGE difference with me sending a message to say thank you to the ones who did something on their own initiative!

So please don't mislead people by telling it's been one of my ideas.

All due respect but @aracange's spam is done AFTER someone has already voted for his witness.

Not taking sides, just saying..
