How are you champ, hope all is great. I think we all are here for the best, that's something we can agree with. In my opinion and after seeing things like the proposal system where everyone can charge whatever they feel best (not arguing that either, it's a free market) I don't think it's time to handicap posts. I've seen many, many posts unrewarded and some "highly rewarded" thanks to circle jerking, "friendships", and stuff. If your opinion is that this post doesn't deserve $20 in rewards, I totally respect that, heck, you're being nice and are requesting instead of commanding. We know, or at least I know you are one of the good ones, especially when it comes to HIVE formerly Steem. I can't vouch for anyone but myself yet I know some people behind this project who imo are good lads. Cheers bro, like I said in the end we should/must be looking for the same goal which is to take hive to new heights! Regards again!

Yeh I mean my main issue is that it's not really content and at the same time majority of the vote value comes from self and votetrading with steemcleaners. I wouldn't have a problem with it if others felt they wanted to reward it cause of the curation you guys do etc but it's hard to ignore where the majority of the vote value comes from. Imagine if I used OCD and OCDB to selfvote short announcement posts to trending without burning any rewards.

Also please don't use the Dao as a baseline for what is okay to do now and what isn't, they are so different from the author reward pool and there's plenty of other examples that can be used from author rewards to compare instead.

Hope you're well too and don't take this as negatively as it wasn't meant to be but hoping we can improve while keeping eachother in check.

same time majority of the vote value comes from self and votetrading with steemcleaners.

@bdvoter and @bdcommunity two different thing. @bdvoter is my project and I am free to use it how I want to. BDCommunity is the community for bd people and most of the rewards from post somehow goes to charity or rewarding community users for their engagement.

Zaku my man, I know it's your community and your rules, I respect that and you know it. In the name of free speech I kindly request you to unmute the comment. We all are good lads in here, no need to push it that far. Again, I respect whatever you choose to do, in the end we all want the same which is Hive to thrive and help our communities. Regards champ.

Well that comment muted because, that was unrelated to subject matter discussed in the post.

I'm not taking it negatively champ, on the contrary, I understand what you say. I think we all are grown ups and we can establish a civil "discussion" on any regards that improves the blockchain. I'm not playing the Dao card as baseline, Just think it can be improved but understand it's a free market. It saddens me to see your comment muted. Hope they fix it in the name of free speech.

Yeah the DAO has room for improvements and competition as well, not gonna argue that. Anyway after some discussions with them in Discord it turns out the mute was cause it was irrelevant to the topic and was top comment so I'm okay with that, just felt like a kneejerk reaction to a negative comment which goes against the fundamentals of this chain and kind of asks for downvotes without explanation instead... Wish curation projects wouldn't use their voting power this way but I guess we'll have to let the free market decide there as well how the inflation is distributed.

Are you guys seriously muting my comment again?
