Yeah, there are definitely some accounts who report community members for small "infractions"? (not sure if that's really the right word), when they could simply have a conversation with the person they're complaining about first. At no point have I intended on, or considered doing that for this post. I posted on here to speak with you "one-on-one", and discuss your intentions.

In any case, I'm not going to "report" this post. Nor do I believe that your post deserves any "flags" or to be reported in any negative way. You're doing a great service to many communities.

My posts have a responsibility to it

Let me discuss why I agree with this statement. You are responsible to the community to provide clear, clean, organized, and useful posts that will benefit the community. While potentially useful, this post has none of the other attributes.

To quote a cheesy comic book: "With great power comes great responsibility".

The way I see this post, and why I originally commented, is because it is not exactly organized (which you did admit at the beginning of your post), and not exactly a "valuable" post. I have been on Steemit for 7 months and have seen posts like this literally hundreds, if not thousands, of times. As such, a value of $200+ from a self-upvote looked suspicious and suspect to me. I would say this about ANY account with a post having these attributes; I am in no way trying to single you out.

Here's my suggestion: No matter how busy you are with comments and voting and re-steeming community members, you still have the responsibility to share a message in a directed and organized manner. You've been on here for a long time, and that's amazing. I do honestly believe that you're not here for the rewards. You work way too hard for that to be true.

But for the people who are here for rewards ... which there are many ... if they read your post and see all of the disjointed information and screenshots and poor structure.. then they look at the post payout of $200+ .. they may get the idea that "Steemit is EASY MONEY. All I need to do is post like @surpassinggoogle does and BOOM, I'll be a MILLIONAIRE!" ... and that's the last thing that we (Loyal Steemians) need.

Again, you're doing amazing things for many communities. I don't think that anyone can deny that. I would just ask that you take a little extra time to present yourself, and the communities that you're representing, with a more deliberate and organized message.

Please take this as constructive criticism, and not as a hateful message. My intent is solely to assist you. I am not trying to discourage or put you down in any way.
