RE: @AskQuestion Bid Bot Spammer Flag Results + Downvote Report Generator Tool Sneak Peek
Going to address this part and the rest when I have time.
This outfit goes after low SP accounts
Here's how it works. Consider playing a video game. If you're familiar wih Final Fantasy VII or any good RPG, you gotta grind your way up to the boss.
I can't count how many magic pots I had to destroy to grind the necessary XP before I was able to face the Emerald or Ruby Weapons.
It's the same way here. You don't go to defend Sephiroth straight out of Midgar. You work your way up.
Please stop trying to change trolls they are just here to eat your time!
::@iamstan slaps some sense into @anthonyadavisii::
Thanks I needed that. Lol it's almost always the same arguments, too!
Maybe we just need a master article or FAQ of objections and direct the trolls to that.
@anthonyadavisii You have the right to not address my concerns and dismiss me as a troll, but, I also have the right to not support steemflagrewards with my delegation.
Your suggestion of making a master article isn't a bad one, but I wouldn't start it with "Dear Trolls"
Have good one.
I was advised you were not being sincere with me. If you are and have genuine questions, feel free to ask.
I am trying to focus on development as I have been bombarded by trolls lately and feel I am doing my community a disservice by entertaining them.
I'll start off by saying I'm not against what you are trying to accomplish.
My concerns are these:
Correct interpretation of what is plagiarism: I don't want anyone flagged for posting a direct link to my videos as it would hurt traffic to them, costing me views and therefore ranking.
Language barriers: We will eventually deal with some 190+ languages on this platform. Flagging in and of itself doesn't send the message. I spent time explaining to non English speakers why they were being flagged and how to avoid it.
Identity: Since many do not use their real names in Steemit, it can be impossible to determine if someone is plagiarizing or merely re-posting their own work.
Any one starting their own SPP (shit post police) scares me as we are dealing with multiple aspects here. Of course there are those that will abuse the system, and some of those entities are huge, but you can't enforce unwritten rules and then enforce them against some and not others. You'll end up with a credibility problem.
Another aspect is investors; they might leave if their bottom line is hampered from reaching it's full potential for any reason. We need people that buy Steem or this platform will not survive.
If you read this far; thank you for your time. No need to answer or address these point by point, just be aware of them.
Sincerely, Onno.
@iamstan I paid for my SP; are you saying I'm a troll for expressing my opinion? Alternative views not welcome? Hypocrite? I'm also a paying customer: Euro, pay someone, Dollar, pay someone, Bitcoin, pay someone, Steem. Steem has enough barriers as it is and I didn't come here to pay some bot and see posts with 150 votes and no comments.
I think I have a legitimate point of view; investors look for ROI, most of them couldn't care less for our content so long as it doesn't interfere with their objective, ..which is profit and not a recipe for Chicken Marsala.
Maybe I should have just flagged you for not having a good argument showing me why I'm wrong and resorting to name calling instead, but have a nice day anyway. Greetings @iamstan.
