Hello, can you provide a video proof that that is you? Just a short film of you saying something Steem related.
Because it appears that these images have been edited.
I apologise sincerely if I'm wrong.
I will give you time to respond before flagging you.
Gave your 5 hours no response, so I've written a post and flagged you:
I really hope you're wrong about this, we don't need scammers like that in the community..
me too. Please provide video proof. Sorry if I am wrong in advance.
Welcome aboard - i'd also love to see a video proof with you all together!I Apologize if i'm wrong here - pls don't take it offended - but if u aren'T able to provide until payout, i've to downvote this post .. why?
It is really a sensitive topic with scams and content thefts etc currently, so pls provide a video proof , schouldn't be a problem
I disagree. These look like everyday, run of the mill images. What aspect looks edited?
I ran it through http://imageedited.com/ and checked the metadata which appeared to indicate some modification. Though I realise I may be wrong. I just want to make sure scams don't prevail.
Awesome. It takes a big person to admit to potential mistakes. Good curation is exactly what we need.... Keep it up!
I don't understand this concept that everyone must provide proof of their reality to satisfy you, or any other random person here. If you honestly feel they are fake, that is one thing, but to down vote or threaten a down vote because they have not provided video proof within a certain time frame is ridiculous. Obviously you have no idea of the struggles of someone that is raising a child with special needs. Otherwise you would not make such disrespectful requests. If you like the story up vote it, if you think someone is fake or taking advantage of the system then by all means down vote. These people seem very real to me and I am appalled at the number of comments here telling them to "prove it" when she has a number of photos with her son and the date on a piece of paper. You all need to check yourselves and your ego at the door. Steemit, I hope would be a community where we can support and learn from each other. People ask for proof, and say "sorry in advance if I'm wrong" how about send the person a message and get to know them, as you would in the real world. If then after you have some "proof" your self of something fake about a post or a person, then you down vote. I can not stress enough that this line of questioning to someone who has just posted a very person thing is not only very disrespectful, but only serves to keep others who may share their stories silent for fear of being attacked and called fake. I see there are still down votes on this post and I would encourage anyone who still has a down vote in place to remove it now. Thanks.
They don't have to do anything. But depending on what they do I will flag because I don't want to endorse potential scams.
Secondly, I have alot of family with special needs please don't make assumptions about me, you don't know me.
I have also witnessed first hand the depths people will go to, to extract money from others.
So I do not assume people to be honest. I have a neutral opinion on people, and if a flag is raised I address it.
sounds very rude and like a threat, I haven't done an #introduceyourself post till now, Is posting a video mandatory? When did this introducing yourself thing get so complicated? #IntroduceYouself used to be cool, now it doesn't sound that cool.
All right no worries Positive, you kind of caught me off guard this morning. No hard feelings. I have a better understanding of the necessity of proof now.
So don't endorse it? Simple really isn't it.. It's like buying something of the internet, if YOU Feel it's fishy, Don't buy it.. Same with other people, Directly accusing someone (Because that is technically what your doing) is wrong, Should i flag you for inappropriate behaviour? No! because i'm not that shallow.. I'm in agreement with you, but the way you came across was all wrong man.. Sorry to be the one to say it, but sometimes someone has to say the things we don't want to hear! Just look at politicians...
Are you serious! First of all when I left this last night it was 12:30 AM at night and now it is 10:52 AM. In case you didn't notice my son is holding a sign up with words I wrote on it. I believe this is proof enough. I think your name positive should be negative. Please this is a bad way to try and moderate especially when my son is holding a sign up that is clearly not edited in any way.
Can you provide evidence that YOU are you? :) just saying.. Flagging people for your own personal distrust is distasteful to say the least.
It's not about distrust. I don't want to see the same scams that have infected every social media affect Steem.
Principally because this time scamming would be legitimized.
So you'd have an economy based on underhand behaviour, which will not encourage the sort of traffic that would benefit Steemit in the long run.
I can respect that :) But innocent until proven guilty still stands for something here. insinuating that they're not who they say they are is sort of tarring them with the same brush as a criminal, I don't believe that's the way to go that's all :) Not to mention the top picture is dated and clearly aimed towards steemit, Proving they are who they say they are. I can tell you for a fact, that's not photoshopped, So unless you can find the exact same picture elsewhere.. I'm inclined to say they are who they say they are.
With all my respect to your fair words of compassion. But will you please answer one question, you may only answer yourself. What if one day, you open steem and the first twenty-thirty posts you see in the top of trending are filled with content like this? There are millions of ill children in the world, let alone adult people, so let's make Steem the place of pilgrimage for them? Is that really the steem you want in future?
I posted no images so I don't have to prove anything. No identity theft etcetera All I'm posting is content.
