Hello Asher, I'll have to reread this every week until it clicks. The more I learn about steemit the less sense any of it makes. Today it was pointed out that the numbers beside my name were reputation points and that they had dropped drastically from over 60 to 12. I hadn't noticed, I'm not a game-player and not even out for the sole purpose of making money. I have rendered my best at all times as I can and as I learn. So, can you explain please what is this event with my 'reputation'. I didn't even know I had one. I'm still me, and anyone who attacks others really needs to be viewed by observers as anti-steemit. I'm reading posts that tell there are bullies who mess with others. I couldn't believe it, that's like petty kids who write viruses to hard-working IT, because they can and think it funny. It just shows them as petty and small. While my rep numbers went down, my followers numbers went up¿ wtf¿ I seriously don't understand petty BS. What profit can be involved in bullying, and how does an open community police it? Can one influence others and change the rep' numbers, as I've already found name@ that uses their position to harm others? 😇
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
It seems you are on the wrong side of @cheetah and @steemcleaners.
Honesty, I would consider starting afresh with a new account, and not copy/pasting large amounts of text from other online sources. Even if you cite these sources, this is not a good approach.
I'm am not sure of the rules regarding your 'release' from the downvotes your content will now be receiving, and think it would just be easier to start again.
That's an idea, but it doesn't help steemit to have bullies doing this to untrained disabled newbies who have done right by the system as far as it could be.
The data they find objectionable is not being spammed as it raises more characters in comments and replies than on blog posts. It is from the public, common knowledge, from 85 years ago. It was @cheetah who helped me discover it's original source. The www. sited by @cheetah turns out to be almost plagiarised as it has not the source information of the source of information and publisher that mine had with @cheetah's help. My source is from 1933 and a defunct publisher. Forty-nine years younger than that in www. The information I posted, I tagged culture, and funny, so also did I put Note Warnings where required, that it was over 100 years old and used at reader's responsibility. It entertained, informed and it's purpose was in memory of the veterans of WW1 which from comments here and on other means I was thanked and asked for more. I don't have more than odd bits and some domestic Pharmacopoeia and Homeopathy, which is still very useful to all bushies anywhere who might not have ready access to Dr's or flying Dr's. This information is not readily available in small posts anywhere in the world, but the robots consider it not important enough for posterity in steemit.com¿ This is a community, and I agree that the two robots mentioned should continue, but as robots they need closer overseeing and the overseer needs to be the interaction agent with humans. The inability to think and weigh thought should be balanced by an inability to post anything except a query, which when answered is a dialogue with and by a human. If people in the community need policing, how much more do bullies with robots.
Back to your first point, I am not sure that I can. I am not computer trained nor oriented, and without an IT helper could not have opened this site. I have been unable to open steemit.chat, when I've been on Discord there is no one there. Someone, I think @davemccoy said I should have four 52 character passes, but I have five. I don't have cpu or laptop and every character is same fingertip. I don't even know how to give you my money were I to leave. It would, I expect just get swallowed by my not using it. The help given to newbies might actually have been of help had it been written FOR newbies, assuming any of you can imagine someone who has not got computer skills at all. So I have no idea about the $6+ but I didn't come here for that any more than I came to be spat at by robot-drivers with no sense of humour. If steemians are so shallow that they don't care how the robot-drivers affect the site, then I don't think the community is worth what it pretends to be. So shallow, that my idea of a robot index hunter, beyond the tags, just got swallowed and only two commented, @anyx did not comment. This site is growing a universal library, but is filling it with trash and shallow posts. When public information not readily available elsewhere is trashed, the community is responsible. The community has need to see its future in responsibility to its further future. I can think of a number of add-on apps but not being the IT wizz my boy is, I can't write them without sitting down with a writer of DOS. My boy won't help, he doesn't think much of steemit's chances if it continues as is. He has other projects and goals and this supposedly was my gig. Ah well, I will continue to plug along, and if the robots want to hound me out, I will have left a pocket of sanity within your archives.
Keep on keeping on. 😇
