RE: THE LOST ART OF MAKING COMMENTS ON STEEMIT - FRIENDS FOREVER ALL YOUR UPVOTES, OKAY?
I understand your point, but in the example cited, the user is pretty much a copy pasta account and they also tried to deceive me by saying that they upvoted and resteemed. Lying is lying in any tongue.
I was certainly not trying to make fun of non native English speakers, but encouraging people to have a bit of fun rather than get angry and frustrated was my point. Steemit is meant to be a living community of real people connecting and interacting, and not a group of money hungry scammers and manipulators attempting to swindle and deceive one another.
I have always been a supporter of other languages, was involved in a group that specifically supported other languages and even created "[Opertaion Translation'(https://steemit.com/translation/@papa-pepper/operation-translation-now-under-construction-what-it-is-and-how-you-can-help) over a year ago, where I offer the opportunity for others to translate any and/or all of posts into another language, post them translation themselves, and then keep all of the payout.
Following someone for a few days and complaining that they do not follow you back or upvote you, or attempting to lie to someone to make them like you has nothing to do with trying to interact in another language.
Yes, I realize that the example that I gave combined a person who did not speak English as their native tongue with some other aspects too, but that was not my intent or goal, to make fun of others.
I thank you for your respectful interaction.
@papa-pepper, I thank you so much for responding to me. I truly "Steemit love you" because you are a good person. It would have been easy for me not to comment, just ignore my confusion, and judge you unfairly as a result.
Papa, you are a leader of the people, just like Eva Peron (with the exceptions of being a man and some dark facial hair) LOL!
All joking aside, this is a lot of pressure for one person to bear. It comes with more responsibility "to always do the right thing" than most folks will ever know.
Thank you again for taking the time to provide clarification.
That's exactly how a descent human being and a great leader should act (in my humble opinion). :)
PS: I am upvoting this post at 100% Please continue to follow me LOL!
you have a beautiful heart, i got trough more texts of you today, and everytime i think beautiful person
You're doing a good job communicating @janine-ariane! Welcome to Steemit.
I was actually joking with @papa-pepper about continuing to follow me because I'm never quite sure (myself) how a comment is going to be interpreted and this is what his post is about. Specifically people asking for others to vote for them when they don't have a relationship established or their comment isn't even relevant to the post. Just so that I am perfectly clear, you should never ask anyone to upvote or follow you. They should take these actions only if they truly like what you have contributed. I have gone to your blog and I am absolutely thrilled to learn that you are from Belgium and that you're a massage therapist. I am too and I own a beauty salon in Canada, but was trained in Swedish style massage which will be similar to any European technique. I hold many professional licenses but am not a hairstylist. You and I have a lot in common. I have followed you for this reason and I will help you where I can. Ask questions and I will do my best to give you accurate answers. Steemit is all about building relationships and trust with other people, just like when you are working on one of your clients. You would never expect a stranger to do something for you, so make it your business to be honest and get to know people. When you have proven that you are consistent and are providing value, people will naturally want to follow and upvote you. Best of luck and thanks for having the courage to reach out. :)
yes i read that you are massage therapist :-) I used to have my own business. but i stopped with it after my mum passed away. Now slowly slowly work again for a friend with a beautifull shop here in the neighbourhood. I do miss to do facials, her daughter does them :-( I loved it, i also used to work with fresh products. Veges and fruit in the beauty cabin, as well as all the essential oils offcourse. Yes i will love to interact with you about this things. Thank you for your answers and thank you for the compliment about my communication skills. I am to curious to keep on walking in the dark want to know the inside and the outside, i only can not always follow it. Thanks for your warm welcome. I now go to sleep with a totally forfilled happy feeling :-) Tomorrow my husband and i planned a day to the family sauna, so i will have something in the evening to talk about :-)
Beautiful! This is exactly what to do. Take us and show us what you do in your life. I can't wait to read about the sauna experience in your country. Generally you want to write about things that light you up and makes your soul shine. Always include at least one picture so that you have a thumbnail show up in the feed. The first picture used will be what people see in their feed and landscape works better than portrait when it comes to the first photo. Have a good sleep and I will watch for your sauna post. :)
Ithink the difference is WHAT they say they can be ever so lovely and goodwilling to you that does not mean they actually read what you wrote. And let be fair, we all write to be read. When you can see someone copied and pasted your text first to translate it in their lanquage and afterwoulds there answer translated in english, you fins some how something of your text back in the sentences. But just saying, you are so good, i follow you i want to see more of you often etcetera? what has that got to do with what you wrote? I understand you that is a no go. Do not take me wrong, i only have to see an old man in a bed and i allready upvote do not have to have any explanation. Like buying of my consience ? I am original dutch married to an englishman but English is still a struggle :-) Please upvote me now? I did go in to your text and made comment... hahah Sorry :-)
Right, the least a comment could do is to have something to do with your post.
