Hello Everyone who followed and supported me throughout the years! 😉
The Bad
This is a sad day, because creating these giveaway posts manually takes too much time and effort every day for over more than two years of continuos posting and announcing countless winners, so because of the revenge of the @hivewatchers accounts I have to stop all my giveaways immediately.
It is not worth my time to create these posts anymore, because they thinks that they own this platform and they can do whatever they want!
@hivewatchers is not only targeted me, but other small accounts creating giveaways as well and it is a shame that they are able to harass our small accounts compare to them just because they have enough money to bully others.
I think this goes against the whole idea of a DECENTRALISED platform, because it helps all the people from around the world sharing their thoughts, ideas, games and whatever they want as long as it is not going against the human values!
There are many good people on HIVE and I met with a lot of them on this platform and I can not believe that only one account are able to force their will on others (which is a crime by the way in the real life) using their downvotes regularly!
I think the ability to downvote should be removed, because accounts like @hivewatchers are taking advantage of it and they just makes this platform hostile!
Enough of that and I know many of you have the same problem, because you were targeted by them!
@stamato made a poll in his recent post where you can clearly see that there is nothing wrong with the giveaways by the people, but we are small acoounts and looks like we need to obey against the rich accounts!
You can see the poll here and read his post!

The Future
I still love this platform and what it is capable of to do even though there are accounts like @hivewatchers whom are doing everything to harass people on this platform if they do not like their content!
I will try to come up with something to be able to continue what I did, but with less effort and time, because it looks like that is not appreciated by some of the bully accounts who got most of their HP delegated to them and just farming HIVE without making any content!
The Good
I have to say something good as well, because I can not just stop my giveaways without saying a proper thanks to all who followed and still follows me, which gave me the power and joy day by day to carry on making the posts even if I was tired or didn't had enough time!
So I would like to thank you so much to all of you participated and that we were able to build a little giveaway community, which always made someone win something and even it was a little thing it made the winner happy! (I was participating in many giveaways as well and I know I was always happy for anything that I won!) 😇
I have to say special thanks to @gregory-f who was with me all the way and supported my posts every day!!! 😉
There is another person I like to mention and that is @lordshah, because I loved talk to him (using my giveaway posts) and I hope we became good friends already talking every day about every thing without keeping any secret and anyone could read that if they were interested about it! 😊
I would use my notification list once more to say thank you to all who was with me in this journey!
Thank you to all of you!

Me saying thanks to all of you
I am very curious what you have to say about these things, so if you make a comment I would really appreciate it! 🙏
I was doing giveaways in the last two years, so what would be a better farewell to do another one, so anyone who comments under this post will receive a Splinterland card from me! 🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁
I think they feel it is spam as only a few words here or there were changed in each post, so I can see both sides looking in. Maybe if you added a curation effort to them, they would be accepting? As for decentralized being a thing here. It is, and that's what gives downvoting its value. If someone doesn't agree, flag their post. I've been in a few flag wars in the past with various entities and haters. Never fun, but is what it is.
Flagging has to remain. Other platforms and forks have tried no flags and failed miserably. Whaleshares, bearshares, weku and blurt - none of them have gotten anywhere close the community because it's a free for all. Nothing to keep the balance and that's what flagging does. It's really all we have to counter illegitimate rewards or to show real disapproval.
Sure, it breeds negativity, but you don't earn it until you earn it on that 7 day mark.
Not that I agree with them flagging you, but I can understand why. Some big whales think those kinds of posts are spam and believe it or not, they do have to answer to someone else. I don't think it is personal, just protocol laid out by the mega whales.
I think without @hivewatchers, this place would be even more chaotic, with severe assholes flagging everything and anything with no one to keep them in check. Hive Watchers is the closest thing we have to a support or policing system not regulated by any specific community.
They have kept a ton of copy pasta and plagiarism off of here. Sometimes they get it wrong, but usually, they mean well are just trying to help Hive as a whole.

[@PowerPaul:] Your points are very legit and great that you brought up these examples. This makes your comment very worthy in this debate. There is a opinion that HW is controversial - and I can understand this view, but lastly I agree with you. To avoid misunderstandings: beside failures (or sub-prime things for a few participants in a big group) which are in every system by the nature of all things, we can be glad to have them. I will try to talk to @lorddiablo and I am pretty sure I can help him to improve some content. Some words, some advice, maybe access to my article image generator tool (which was planned to make public anyway in a modified form...).
Helping out, staying together, this is one value of our lovely & worthy chain!
Once again: you wrote a great comment! Thank you! (I like to point that out, because good/constructive comments/examples are sometimes missing in debates like this... other comments here are good, too. But I just like to say what I said... bla bla bla...) @lorddiablo, reach out to me! Let's work on being happy on all sides!
You must be killin' it out here!
@enginewitty just slapped you with 1.000 PIMP, @lorddiablo.
You earned 1.000 PIMP for the strong hand.
They're getting a workout and slapped 1/4 possible people today.

I would understand your side of view if @hivewatchers would do that fairly and with every content, but right now they are just picking our few accounts and bully them to hell and even if they downvoted my original content doing the regular Battle Challenge for Splinterlands which took me around an hour each to write and they downvoted that as well simply because they wanted to take revenge!
They didn't say anything of course and they do their regular farming with their borrowed HP, which is of course fine!
I do not want to point to anyone, but it is strange that few giveaways are allowed to pass changing no content at all and many posts posting only pictures with few sentences is also allowed!
Why is it good to have few policeman in town if they stop only the people they do not like??
Thank you so much for your opinion and I agree with most of it, but right now they stepped their own line or rule downvoting my latest hand made posts!
I used to hold daily giveaways in the past, but due to several reasons which some are a bit similar with what you experience now, I decided to stop months ago.
Most of the time here, it is not about being right or wrong, or good and bad. It is more about like and dislike. You only need one person close or being in circle of with big guys to dislike you, and that would be over for you.
It's hard to talk about this to people who do not understand how fun giveaways are. It's similar to sports, people who are not a fan of a sport will always think fans are silly, a bunch of dumbasses wearing the jersey, coloring our faces, and stupid girls who might even revealing their boobs for each goal scored. Do those people having fun? yes they are, but people who can't understand the sport will always see them as dumbasses.
No matter how much I really hope there will be two ways communication about how a proper giveaway should be, what are the boundaries, what are the don'ts there, however I believe that talk will never happen. There can only be one way, it's us as the farmers, and they are the one and the only one who deserve all the rewards pool.
Well, that's the downside of being decentralized anyway.
I hope whatever happens, you will keep the joy up, having fun with what you do, because I believe that what matters most right now. cool down and take care bro
Wes pokok e aku agree.. ! Ngikut om @dewabrata 😀
I agree with you, but the worst part is that no one should ever say aything about giveaways as long as it is carried out fairly and honestly! I do not understand what is their problem with giving aways few cards and if someone has the means to support that they can vote on the post, but if not it is fine as well, because the requirements stated that for the draw just need a comment!
Sadly @hivewatchers are kids with some powerful friends doing shady stuffs daily for farming tokens for themselves and use their downvote power to remove some of the competition without a valid reason!
Anyhow it was always good to see you in my giveaways and thanks for your opinion! 😉
Didn't the STEEM/HIVE fork show you the flaws of Proof of Stake? How 20-ish people could split a community in half without any care or concern for said community; with the only motive that they continue to be able to mine tokens and the circle jerk witness voting policy to approve fellow members of the HF24 Cabal. That is what Justin Sun, with all his flaws, really threatened not his, at the time, ground breaking atomic swap idea.
That is why Splinerlands is going down as well, because the voting policy is stupid! The more SPS you have the more voting power you have just like in real world! The richer you are the more you have to say in politics!
Thanks for the comment my friend! 😉
@lorddiablo I learned that communication is key here. When you communicate with other people parents, family, friends, business partners and friend of friends I learned that sincerity plays a huge part. I learned that being honest with myself first then towards others helps me keep moving forward. You have a great idea about this giveaways specially for gamers like me. I feel confident that you will have a better idea in the future because I believe in you, your family believes in you, your friends believe in you and you believe in you! The path to success is not easy there are bumps along the way it's happening to everyone including me. Stay strong brother! If you need to talk to someone my Discord is open for you just reach out 😊.
I really appreciate your support my friend and my only sadness is that there are people in this world that are like to bully and do evil things against their fellow borthers and sisters!
Anyhow it is what it is and we can not really change them, but I !LUV your good words and I would owe you a huge THANKS for that! 😊
[@PowerPaul:] I can feel you and I know your feelings & meaning. Beside my thanks for enriching the CCCEO & Hive community all the time and all the well needed support for CCCEO, I hope that things get solved. Giveaways like yours were & are a great tool to help small projects and lastly to grow our ecosystem. Small projects have limited manpower to advertise - you always hold up the flag for CCCEO, which was always worthy.
I always was very thankful and blessed for/with your help to attract attention to CCCEO. Sadly this kind of very needed support is gone now. I say this, because this is what got destroyed, too. I don't want to judge the situation or @hivewatchers, but I wanted to mention this. You always supported CCCEO with your giveaways & lastly helped to grow the variety of projects. People like you always gave energy into CCCEO. Something, what others could be able to do so too, but simply skipped. Your postings helped CCCEO a lot! A very needed help for still small projects like mine. And in my case this support help(ed) a lot to grow.
I am sad about this, too. Because in general it is easier to don't help or to destroy something, instead of the dedication to help & support. Thank you for all of your great work!
Lord, I want to say again: "Thank you for all your worthy support you brought to CCCEO itself and to all players of our game, Bro Bang. Your contribution had the biggest worth."
Stay strong!
[EDIT: let's look how we can improve your content and get over that. I am there to help you, to improve your content, if you like. Quitting something is fast, but in improving is the value. As a Hivian, I am on your side! And I'm very sure when we improve things, we can serve all sides and be within the rules of HW, lastly improve a little detail on our lovely chain.]
Thank you so much for your support and wish you a great success in your own project! 😉
As someone who hosted numerous giveaways and participated in countless giveaways by you and other members of our great community, I must admit I am shocked that this is happening! And that it is happening without any warning is ugly and disrespectful, to say the least.
Those giveaways are not spam content and are not means to leech from the system, it's to help out new players, new members of our community.
No one got rich by making those posts, and we all spent more time making them than we made up in HIVE rewards.
I love you @lorddiablo and @stamato and all the other great people who go day after day doing great for the rest us. ❤️
you were really to the point. As you said, creating our posts took time, and those bullies just thought it was a copy-paste.
No one got rich from that.. surely, we were getting 1-2 hives by a post, but this is .20-.40 USD right now for a 20-minute work. this is not getting rich.
we liked doing giveaways because (personally) I was enjoying helping the community. @hivewatchers tho think that we were in it to get rich 😅
now they will enjoy a drop in the number of visitors. i m pretty sure many will stop coming to the site to just read posts and not participate in any giveaways. good job bullies
I agree with you @pero82 and I never got jealous over my posts earning less than a HIVE daily and some of the posts were getting over 5, but it felt great to send something to others without asking anything back. If they had the power to support my posts why is that not allowed?
This kids from @hivewatchers are just bullies who are jealous over few cents while they farm HIVE rewards for themselves badly!
Anyhow thank you so much for you participation, opinion and support and wishing you a lovely day my friend! 😉
It looks like @hivewatchers are pretty sensitive if someone has an opinion against them and they like to use their delegated HP to take revenge on them! 🤔
i hope @hivewatchers get what they deserve.
i will stick here (in the hive community) to see if they have the guts to answer to everyone in our voting post. after that I will drop this fracking site.
I thought that I found a place where I could freely share my thoughts etc but this is worst than x or FB...
GOOD JOB @hivewatchers
you destroyed something good.
lets see if you will come to the voting post to answer for your arrogant undermining practices.
The worst thing that we can not appeal to anyone about it and @hivewatchers turned their agenda into something to bully others and take revenge on them if they do not like what they do!
All the best for the future.

Hello brother,
That's true but currently pegged token protect against usual sudden fluctuations and helps buying more Hives in terms of other alts. But, there is always risk even with pegged tokens. 😎!LOLZ
Yes, human reliance on technology is certainly lowering intelligence level of humans and making it a tech zombie as even kids can't live without gadgets and tinkers. Sadly 😣 !PGM
There behavior is quite strange and very bossy with other regular Hiveians, they don't care about them and not even feeling any remorse for removing rewards. They are paid well and with their fat HP, they feel like this. it is so sad to see closing your giveaway and not seeing a new post today. It is heartbreaking for everyone. 😓
That's so kind of you. !LUV 😍 Actually, the condition here is not like current situation but it deteriorated in last 10-15 years as more concrete and vehicles grow in the region. Now, there is another big burden on us that we are paying almost 80%-150% taxes on common utility items. It seems our hard earned money is all meant to return to government. 😫
Well, apart from work, they only busy with each other and enjoying playing around, although sometimes they get loud but no worries, its there time to amuse us. 🤩
Wish you a wonderful new week ahead and hope you'll have a great time and back to giveaways.

Thank you for all the giveaways, and it is sad to see it stop. It has been a daily part of my hive routine, and getting that elusive win is always nice. It's nice to see that you plan on staying in Hive, and I look forward to what you come up with in the future.
It was always good to see you coming to my giveaway and I really appreciate it to help to build our little community!

I also liked my daily routine and it is strange not to do anything on Hive anymore! Thanks for the wishes!
I also hope the downvote option is removed. If a person or group does not want to read a post, they are free to look at other post. Thanks for the giveaways 💖
I totally agree with you, but sadly I am too small to do anything about it and @hivewatchers are too greedy that our few cents profit will take their share from the pot!
Thanks for coming day by day in the past! 😉
Bro, we are here to enjoy games and sometimes we get free goodies from a giveaway, it adds a lot of joy for having something useful for the game. I don't know why harassing people on some penny rewards and giving something free to other players.
But, you stay focused on giveaways all the times despite hardships that's how you distributed a lot of fun stuff. But, sadly our fellow watchers have destroyed this amazing opportunity.
Let's hope for a better tomorrow and more giveaways in other shapes. 😍 !LUV

Sad to ere this.... Have the Hivewatchers ever done something right?
Thanks my friend! Nah they just do what they want with their borrowed HP!
Making a giveaway isn't easy, it takes a lot of time, as I'm well aware.
The Hive police should be more interested in posts that appear every day with exorbitant rewards.
Good luck to you!

@hivewatchers are known for being crybabies and abusive people that only targets certain creators and do not expect them to reply on this kind of post because they have zero intellectual ability in arguing and the only thing they know to do is pressing the downvote button
That is why that button should be removed and that is why facebook doesn't have a dislike button! Imagine what would happen if they would have! 😅
Sadly that is not up to us! Thanks for your comment! 🙏
