Bunnypuncher Daily contest has ended thank you everyone. The bunny has been broken :(

in #contest6 years ago (edited)

Thank you everyone that supports me and sorry to those that don't like me. I apologize this has gotten far too negative which is my fault. I'll consider it closed and move on as negativity benefits no one and I should have known better but some bunnies never learn. But, reflect on what happened here so lessons are learned and the platform improves for it.

Bunnypuncher gets knocked out for the count by @adm. I hope they are happy they won.

Again today I get downvoted:

It appears I have made someone mad, but of course they didn't say why or how by leaving a comment or contacting me. So now instead of any positive support from whales I'm getting negative support for my contests. These downvotes happen right before the post payouts 7th day / last hour. And I get the feeling this is going to continue. I would be happy to try and work out the issues with these folks but have no way to contact them. So I'll put it out on the public block chain that I want to clear up whatever the issue is and resolve it so that I don't continue to get these $20 down votes.

However, If the issue can't be resolved the alternative is to stop the contests which I don't want to do. And, I don't think any of my followers would want.

I try and run fair contests that help the community and don't think I should be on any blacklists.

These are the problem votes I'm referring too:

The two posts in question are:

https://steemit.com/contest/@bunnypuncher/bunnypuncher-daily-giveaway-8-9-2018

and

https://steemit.com/contest/@bunnypuncher/bunnypuncher-s-daily-giveaway-8-8-2018

If anyone has ideas on how to clear this up please leave comments with contacts or advice. Or comment just to offer words of support so the contest continues despite whale down votes. I would appreciate it.

I'm not an unreasonable person and want Steem to be successful. I thought I was helping but maybe I'm not. It could be I'm going overboard and have crossed the line to be a spammer of my contests. My intention was to be helpful and give to the community. So I apologize to those I have obviously offended and will scale back to once or twice per week (if at all) as per feed back to these posts. Hopefully that will solve this problem and I won't be considered evil. I'm not going to send 40 STEEM to blacklist and they should revise that policy if indeed that is what they want.

For the good of the Steemit Platform letting bots hurt accounts without any justification should be looked at. This isn't right in my opinion I have tried to do right by the community and give to it. I believe I have helped a lot of smaller accounts get started with a little SBD. And without warning or chance to adjust postings I get huge down votes with no recourse. Steemcleaners was useless and I'm not going to hunt down @adm to kiss whoever's ass to remove the downvote. The only whale votes I think I ever got are these 3 whale down votes. And that is a shame that my contests never got any support yet I funded them to help others. And this is the outcome. I think the whole platform losses today thanks to @adm and abuse of whale power. But whatever he is bigger than me so that's just the way it goes on Steemit.

It was a good run and I thank everyone that participated. There were some great comments and discussions on a variety of topics. I enjoyed them and I hope others did as well.

Sort:  

you are giving your earnings to encourage the activity in steemit. no harm to any of the steemians around us. You are selecting as per your concern and you are giving away. Who is bothering of this? You are happy to give as per your view among the posts you see.

I got some negative votes for my post...I am nothing in steemit, I amazed negative vote for my post for the steemhunt product hunt?... I got cleared with one post..I forgot the names, really I can call it if I scroll backwards among those who I am following, Two big guys entered in a fight both are very technical. One made a flag another made a bot to downvote to those who follow the flagged one...I can't explain the process...simply a tech fight...something we can enjoy their process. One downvoted, one flagged, another one hit all the followers and down voter their vote, something like that....which is I can't explain and I don't know much about that.

But in this case...this is the first time I am seeing you. You are doing something good to the guys in steemit. This is not a harm to any body in this ocean. We have to take away the flag method. OK.. let us have the flag, but we need a court to discuss that, and finalize things. there are witness peoples who are working hard for this platform. A whale..just a bot doing harm to the steemians and no one taking care about that is not mean to decentralize. Here this is not decentralized, this is more dangerous than the centralized. The power play is in the centralized world, and the same thing is happening here. those who have power can destroy anyone.

we need to take care to make this community into a real democracy... No one has their direct influence over anyone to disturb them unless the negative aspect is proven by the experienced and wise group.

We need a court system. Negative people present all over in face to face world, Here we are not known one to each other, risks are more.

No flagging. Even Whales. Keep some random people in a court. Let us sent the ID which we want to flag or downvote. Let them analyze and do it for us. Totally anonymously. No power should be in Individual hand to destroy anyone.
I do not bother to say things like this... Things are going to be other dimensions soon in this world.
I am an ordinary person without any much knowledge about this blockchain things. Just I came here to overcome problems to earn something. I never took any penny from this site. But I like this process.
We can make it more decentralize and more democratic with balancing the natural negative and positive.
I read this post after seeing the notification in busy.org 1 SBD gift after that, we went to help the rescue operations in the flood area...now I am replying to this ...Just took 3 large of brandy to overcome the shivering of wetness ...have a great community.
No one have their right to destroy any one. If the community is build for a freedom. Here Iam afraid more than the centralized world.

Thank you for the comments. You seem to have many good ideas in your comments. I appreciate you coming here to speak up on this. Best of luck with your rescue operations that is valuable work you are doing and I'm glad the last of the SBD I sent out went to a decent person.

@bunnypuncher you don't seem to be on any official blacklist

thank you for shiring

alright bye bunny Puncher

Is his game over now???

I’ll keep doing contests as long as this can be resolved and I’m not on the whale blacklist.

Guess it is game over I give up.

I enjoy your contests. I don't play everyone, but I'm glad I get a chance to when I can.

I feel sorry for that. It is indeed very frustrating to be flagged for something wrong that you know nothing about and there is no avenue to veto. I hope my observations below will somehow help you to contact them and clear yourself.

@blacklist-a is a bot that has a linked on its home page.

I followed that link and found a link to Facebook on the lower right corner of the page. I went to the Facebook page and there is the Contact Us button.

I noticed the Facebook account does not answer to comments on the page but maybe the bot creator will reply through messenger.

@adm is classified as real human account. Check if he/she is on discord and maybe you can get in touch with him/her there.

I tried to reach them on steemcleaners discord since most of the upvotes are for steemcleaners. But they weren't very helpful so I figured I would ask the community for help. On the steemcleaners discord they said @adm likes to be anonymous.

@adm can stay anonymous for as long as he wants but at least tell you why your post was flagged. He/she does not have to reveal identity to tell you that.

I hope this post will get some attention to this issue. Since if that is indeed what they want and blacklist people like bunnypuncher people should know about it.

This is a part of @blacklist-a pastebin link:

There are one way to get off the blacklist once you are on it, and that is to change your behavior from evil to good over your next 40 posts. Once you have reached that number you must send 40 STEEM to the @blacklist account with "REVIEW" in the memo. Someone from our staff will then manually look at your blog within the next 24-48 hours and remove you from the list if your account now qualifies for it.

from evil to good

A bot playing God to judge what is evil or good? And 40 STEEMS? Sounds like a blackmail. I don't know what else to say but hope that this will be sorted out soon. And may these flaggers be reasonable in their future flagging.

Guess I'm an evil bunny. Bad bunny bad LOL

I can only sigh.. but you're laughing. Yes, that is right. Laugh it out because it will not help stressing over it. 😊

Right can’t take things too seriously. But I’m not a bunny rug to be walked all over either. Sadly they KOed bunnypuncher I don't feel like a flag war or dealing with bullshit for trying to help folks with contests that are just spam anyway.

I'm sorry to hear that they continued to flag your post.

... contests that are just spam anyway

I think this is what they will throw back at you - acknowledging that you are supporting spam through your contest. Maybe you can come up with something different.

Yea time for a change anyway. Just have to think of something since I'm not good at much.

I wouldn't pay them nothing and these are the kinda reasons that governments look for as an excuse to implement regulations because what you just described is an attempt to extort you for money.

Don't worry I'm not gonna pay them anything.

Yes, that is extortion.

There's a problem with these bots.. sometimes they take the 'wrong' decision. I am classified as 35% spammer.. for what?
Hope you get it working @bunnypuncher!

Cheers and good luck!

Thanks for your support I hope so too.

A computer cannot take place of a human being. They do task as per logic provided into it.

That's true unfortunately..

I've noticed that "Steemauto" ignores your "Daily giveaway" posts.
But your other posts are being upvoted, as intended.
Maybe it's not just a bug...

I'm not sure what steemauto is but I'm glad all my stuff doesn't get downvoted at least. After this that will probably change.

https://steemauto.com
It's an automation site for your Steemit account.

I use it to upvote posts of creators I like.
So I waste as little voting power as possible.

It is not possible to downvote content.
Only your giveaway posts have been left out.
