You are right @readallaboutit, i contacted the msp probation server guy, i dont recall his name but maybe it was @discordiant as @torico says in his comment, and he was like so narrow-minded in the way he was talking, and couldn't see anything else outside of his little carved path of doing things. The way he expressed himself pointed out a lot of the fact that he had little to do with thinking and reasoning; power corrupts indeed this kind of people. The reason i was kicked out was that i had multiple accounts, such as for travels, poetry and mixing them together would look like a bad ramen soup. So i explained hence i don't post shit post (and can be verifiable) then using the @minnowsupport services, only brings further value to the steemit community, and enforces further user retention and so on; not to mention if you scroll down in the upvote section, and randomly click on posts to check how they are, 10 out of 10 are shitty to diarrhea type of posts. I mean, if that's what @minnowsupport is supporting, then no wonder @steemit is going down the toilet hole. Yes, the rules are good against abusing, such as one has multiple accounts and posts rubbish posts then by no means ban them for life. But this person i was talking to on the server was incredibly ridiculous showing a total lack of ability to think on his own, make rational and sustainable decisions, and lacking to the greater good of the service they provide and of the platform they provide the services unto.
Indeed we don't know the muppet that are moderating them; but that doesn't mean the puppets are walking like zombies with no head. It's sad to see this thing, even here on the platform.. What kind of groups/discord servers are you joined in, if i may ask @readallaboutit? I see you are able of self-awareness and common sense thinking, so i may be able to learn something useful from under your advice? Thanks.
It says right in the PAL rules when you first register that multiple accounts is a violation of our server rules. I'm sorry you missed it, but because of bot abuse there is no exception to that. You are welcome to have multiple accounts outside of PAL.
So posts with only a youtube link that use your services, isn't bot abuse ??
You attempted to get me to bend the rules in just your case, purely on the argument that rules were meant to be broken. You said that your posts were worthy of being able to give a single person more than one vote, and I told you that the rules were intended to content-agnostic in relation to multi-account violations.
As I told you in Probation, there were multiple warnings on new join, and registration, that clearly state:
Any attempt to gain more than one use of $upvote by any means inside a single cool-down period, including multiple registered accounts, will result in a permanent ban.
We caught you, you admitted to it in Probation, your ban was permanent.
It's not hard to understand, and it isn't a narrow-minded point of view to stick to the statements of our rules made in multiple places.
Edit: I just noticed that this was a rather old post originally. Amazing this got dug up this far along.
I'm not asking you to bend the rules, as if the rules are a bar of iron and i'm asking you to bend that. What i've asked you is to use your brain, your thought process and become aware that the only rules that exist are the rules or the laws of physics. What other rules we invented and created, are rules or ideologies to be used for guidance and to support a concept of a greater good; which in this case was promotion and support of quality posts of a minnow.
Let me ask you something, how many times you didn't follow a law or regulation, you didn't obeyed by it or just simply bend it, because you thought is not fair, or you thought that that restriction simply limits something you thought it shouldn't be limited at all? Or just took a shortcut because you thought the greater good was worth it ?
What i'm sure about, is that we're all people. There is right and wrong, and for that we have policies in place, to protect the right from wrong. But nothing is perfect, and will be many times when the policies would do harm rather than help. That's when one has to use common sense and realise the difference between standing for what's right and enforcing a law just because they have control to do it, and as @readallaboutit said: power corrupts - and that's when it harms the most .
