stop policing people
I agree
We all have different interests . It seems if those who have the power on steemit do not share the interest you post about they downvote you into oblivion . I have recently been targeted and have stopped posting . I have now started my first power down and will continue until I have access to my steem . I may continue to do some upvoting until my power downs are done . This type of downvoting discourages people from joining and investing in steemit in my opinion .
if you're getting harassed by downvoters, set your rewards to "declined" so they don't hurt your rep (but you still get rep from upvotes!!)
You've got a pretty decent rep (79!!). Downvoters with lower rep than you won't bring your rep down.
Also, even if you decline rewards (on your own posts and comments), you still get rewards for your curation upvotes!
He isn't being harassed, he has been farming forever with 99% self votes and shit posts.
Someone is finally standing up and doing something about it.
Thank you for your input @logiczombie
@bloom, Y U mad bro?
Yeah, this is the most you have ever interacted with the community.
You still think you are investing in
Steemit. That says everything anyone needs to know about you.What's the alleged crime?
There is no crime, people are free to use their downvotes just as they are free to use their upvotes. He's been shit posting for over a year with near 100% self votes. Someone disagrees with that and used their influence to distribute rewards in a way that is more favorable for the community.
@freezepeach counters harassing downvotes, but, unfortunately only has about 3,000 steem-power.
At least you have the reputation of 79, so downvotes don't bump it down. For me, I got my rep bumped down from 27 to 8 and then from 32 to 17 just because one professional downvoter didn't like what I posted. (Every day he comes back and downvotes more and more of my comments, bringing my rep further down.) And there's no way to respond in kind. First - because my rep is now much lower than his and then because he never posts himself, hardly ever comments, all he does is downvotes and upvotes.
I cound understand if all upvotes and downvotes were equal: 1 downvote vs several upvotes wouldn't be that bad. But he has steam power of 12200 or so, so his 100% downvote turns out to be quite devastating. IMHO we should be able to disallow certain users to vote on our posts. (Sort of a "super mute" feature.)
I agree, I've said almost from day one, that the "mute" button should also block the muted user from commenting and or voting on your content. It would be a very rudimentary "anti-harassment" measure.
A better "anti-harassment" measure would be to have the option to set your blog to "friends only" (people you follow).
