Why Are We Flagging Manual Curation Projects Now?? Someone Help Me Out Here.... Enough Is Enough
Yeah, it's time... today I woke up to 100 new messages and went to go check out the battlefield of Steem that I had been avoiding, but I can't ignore it anymore.. this shit has just gotten out of hand. So, I am putting on my mom hat and writing a post.. flags are welcome.
First things first
I have tried to stay out of this most recent fight for a few reasons;
I think it’s dumb
Getting involved always causes me issues
I have been busy trying to help to build a foundation that could benefit the whole platform and didn't have enough time to also deal with grown ass man children fighting... yeah, I said it.
I have made a few comments, which apparently were taken as me choosing a side. I get how public perception can be taken and I really should be more aware of it, I will be working on that. I understand that many state I am in certain people's pockets and do their bidding.. so far those accusations include me being in Ned's pocket, Bernie's, Marky's, Aggroed's, The mafia's, and yes even FTG’s. People say stuff, its what they do... I have accepted it.
To put it all out there; I am not a huge fan of ftg, nothing personal, just my own opinion. There are many here I am not a fan of.. as many are not a fan of me, that's life. I don't flag him or go around bullying him or his friends, I have made a few comments over the time and some I was wrong in, I can admit that. Mostly I just ignore people I don't like here.. that's the beauty of the blockchain, I am not forced to interact with anyone. I have no problem with most of the things he does, minus the spamming and some other crap, and in fact I think he has done some great things.
On the other side; I have given berniesanders more shit personally than I have given anyone on this platform.. because while I think he does some great stuff, I also think he does some stupid shit.. and I make it known. Same with themarkymark, I support when he does good and give him hell when he does something stupid.. I get that that is not on chain so many don't see it..
I am just stating these things to get it all out in the open, in hopes that the community can hear the actual message I am trying to put forward and not think that this is some sort of personal thing.. because quite frankly, I have better things to be doing right now. But someone needs to say enough is enough.
The truth is I stand up for what I believe is right and have no blind loyalties to anyone, and I mean ANYONE.
I don't kiss ass, which any of the above names could confirm, as all have gotten a few angry messages from me telling them that they are doing something that is hurting the platform.. well except the mafia, I don't know them.
But this is just getting dumb
So here I am, butting into something that isn't my business to point out something that I think is hurting the platform.. and I hope the community can see I am trying to approach this from a neutral standpoint.
So here goes nothing...
Why the hell are we flagging manual curation efforts @fulltimegeek? Seriously, this is the most insane thing I have seen yet. Why?!?
.png)
Yes, for those that don't know.. we have a childish whale fight happening..another one. I know it’s not the first and it most definitely wont be the last and quite frankly,
I don't care if you all want to flag the hell out of each other, do it.. great for the reward pool.
but why manual curation? Aren't these the projects we want on the platform?
@themadcurator
.png)
ah yes, the crazy curator account that the community has recently fallen in love with.. the one that has people excited about curation again, the one that many have said is the "best curation project on Steem right now" is somehow involved in this childish shitshow now? Why?
_LI.jpg)
156 unique authors out of 231 votes in the last 7 days.. pretty damn good stats by any curation group standard
.png)
900 Steem sent (as steem power) to individuals that are contributing to this platform in many different ways.. not just sending Steem to friends.. again, another pretty damn good statistic for any curation guild.
So why the attacks?
Oh right, because of who delegates to it...
.png)
So we are going to attack projects because of who supports it now? Weird as I see @fulltimegeek and @haejin supporting a certain curation project together.. so.. who supports curation doesn't really matter? As long as the cause is good? Not really sure here...
So, you might need to add a few more flags to your bot then...
.png)
You didn't cover all the curation efforts after all.
So why am I standing up for @themadcurator?
Because I think its a great project, its doing great things, and its fun too. Everyone loves it, its supporting many different levels of authors and is doing manual curation in a time we need it most. And for those who don’t know, I’m kind of a supporter of curation efforts.
I don't care who delegates to it, I care about what it does... and that is support authors, which adds value to Steem as a whole.
And currently it is being attacked just because someone supports it.. enough is enough @fulltimegeek
.png)
This morning I messaged Bernie to give him more hell over this dumb thing (because he actually responds sometimes) and he told me he already stopped his bots.. no idea what that means specifically as I didn't go digging.. but quite frankly.. @fulltimegeek, @themarkymark, and @berniesanders and whatever other accounts are involved in this.. flag away.. bury each other, I don't care. But I currently I only see one account flagging a completely innocent project though, and that is you @fulltimegeek
So just leave the manual curation projects alone.
Steem community, its time for our voices to be heard. Let's speak up for manual curation.
To the accounts above, I think you all are acting like children.. actually worse than children, as I taught mine to act better. But it's your stake and a free world, so if you want to play stupid games, go for it. I personally think you are all wrong, and this is just making this place look bad... but hey, do what you feel.
I am specifically making this post for the community to call for an end to the flags to @themadcurator, nothing more, nothing less.
So community, what do you think???
Thanks for clearing the air, this whole things stinks to high heaven, and I would know.
This old cock would drag itself through a mile of broken glass just to hear her fart through a walkie talkie one more time...
You know, when your friends troll you this much.. it sure makes the real trolls seem like they need to step up their game. 🤗 I love/hate you all.
It makes it seem like these trolls have at best a 6th grade trailer park level of education and sense of humor, but they sure are proud of themselves. Nobody else cares about them, so they have to care about themselves, I guess? That's what it's like in cults of shallow, empty, vapid personalities.
😂😂😂😂😂
Yes, I hope I see!
With all due respect, when one of your inner circle friends starts flagging people because they were up voted by someone they didn't like, you can expect the same in return. We're tired of his bullshit, dick pics, shit filled toilets, rude comments and Sheep, quite frankly, so blame them.
I will flag whoever I want, that is the result of the silence surrounding the abuse. Now put your head back in the sand and ignore the true cause of these problems so you can pretend everything is just fine.
Greetings.
Yes, I used “we” a lot in this post.
My head could never go in the sand, as my mouth is entirely too loud.
Thanks for ignoring the whole point, continue on with you and your groups mission. Unless you’re fulltimegeek? 🤔 as I believe it’s he who this post asked to stop flagging a curation group.. not some part of a inner circle mafia ring.
Good for you, I don’t believe I said otherwise.
Thanks for the insightful comment,
Tootles
@fulltimegeek are you going to comment or just upvote the comments that you seem to like? Asking you to stop flagging @themadcurator isn’t asking for much.
The rest of the drama between your gang and others I’d love to help with but not sure I can.
What do you say? Stop the flags?
▀
I like that you guys are running with the sand thing, as someone who made a post and called all three individuals out is somehow in cahoots with the “inner circle” of one of the groups... and ignoring things 🤔 hmmm seems people who keep their heads in the sand would just be sure to praise their messiah while doing his bidding and ignoring their reality.. and then when they mind, they get their upvotes from their daddy whale of course.
Weird, I don’t fit into that description 🤔🤔🤔 but others here do. dont worry if you don’t get it, a bit of reading is involved.
which one am I apparently a part of again? I forget since I’m actually stating they are all in the wrong.. it’s hard to know what team I’m being accused of being on...I guess your crazy ass is part of the “ftg team” , so does that mean I’m in the other one? 🤔 or are we in the same cult and we are just having a family feud? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
I’d prefer a game of football for charity or something, but please continue on your weird campaign here.. I think you are really starting to get through to people.
▀
I'm not FTG, my name is Onno Vocks. I actually have the guts to use my real name when I receive the insults from your good inner circle buddy bernz, or was that Dan, ..or maybe it's Ned? Talk about insightful...
I'll not bother you again, thank you for your time. Cheers!
I’m not sure why you keep talking about some sort of inner circle group.. I didn’t join a cult.. and not one part of my post is standing up for a specific group.
But I understand it’s a touchy subject, so I’ll leave it at that. Have a good one.
because everybody can see what is happening here . you people are disgusting criminals
Bwahaha. Best comment on this whole post. Lock em up!
Why are they criminals again? I forgot.😂😂😂
Looking for a spot to jump in because i love these topics. Everyone chipping in how this is "crazy" trying to score some points with a "smart" comment so a whale might notice them. Haha.
Virtue signaling galore...
'Bwahaha' is no longer working buddy . everybody sees what is going on here
I heard the inner circle sacrificed puppies on the oltar of bernie? Was that what youre refering to?
Ftg didnt like that (he wanted his own sacrifices) so a blood feud start. Many of innocent were caught in the cross-fire.
Poor Marky and the funky bunch took a few slaps until the valiant savior Sir Lele saved the day.

Looks for another one.

Sometimes the fights are funny, but now it's just annoying.
Grown ass man-children... fights. Could possibly be our tag line.
It will never end.
And some like to say women are dramatic and hard to work with. I still find that part hysterical.
I don’t know, this post is pretty dramatic and I was just called irrational in discord.. so, us ladies are seriously difficult to work with.
In all honesty, I am difficult and a total pain in the ass and I’m totally ok with admitting this.. but the man children have gotten out of hand and I agree it’s just annoying now.
Time to move on gentleman!
We do need a tag line...
“Steem, come for the crypto.. stay for the drama”
Meh, I think we can do better
@themarkymark, came for the steem... became the drama.
Because I'm actually doing shit and not leaving my head in the sand. How many witnesses do you hear from?
Our only issue is that you run a for profit voting bot which seems unbecoming of a witness to me. You knew, for well over a year, this fact was overlooked because of the good work you do for the blockchain. This drama, with innocents being caught in its crossfire, has tipped that balance; leading to me withdrawing my vote for you as witness.
I'm not the one attacking innocents. Been told by a few I should be flagging people @fulltimegeek supports but I choose not to. I'm not even flagging @fulltimegeek.
Flagging or not flagging you are embroiled in this drama directly because of your activity as a vote bot merchant. For that reason, alone, it seems an activity unbecoming a witness regardless of it being a wedge issue.
We are caught in a circle again aren't we? 😆
Ok, zippering up now. You're welcome to the last word on the subject. 😎
It is what it is... In the early days I thought it was bad and would ruin everything. Now, I'm kind of immune to it. I've seen much better drama than this current round.
True, and I tend to agree. Flagging curation seems a bit idiotic, but I think dick pics, spam and the rest of it is pretty idiotic too. I’m sure I’ll regret getting involved, I always do.. but hell even when I don’t get involved I’m criticized. How dare you not fix it, you don’t care at all!! lol.. so yeah, working on ignoring more, and when is the appropriate time to open my big mouth I guess 🤷🏻♀️ I’ll learn one day.
Take it from me, the curve is about 2 years, then you are either part of the problem or completely checked out from the nonsense and investing your time in more useful and profitable pursuits elsewhere. Heard it from a me.
I fight implies two people swinging. He's flagging me, I'm not flagging him or his puppets. I only posted because I know he will try to control the narrative and spread bullshit and his paid off puppets will blindly support him.
I'd rather just continue to do what I do, create good content, create cool giveaways, build cool stuff, and help keep the blockchain secure and spam free.
I find the irony that @fulltimegeek came to Steem to avoid censorship so he can believe the Earth is flat and any of the other crazy theories he has, yet he is purposely trying to censor by using 100 bots to keep all my comments hidden regardless of rewards and attack projects just to cause emotional damage.
Yeah, I'm with LLFarms on this one. I like a lot of what you do. I'll stick with that.
And yeah, I think you got sucked into it by doing something that offended one of "the sides" I certainly don't think you started it.
Recently a few people I've enjoyed engaging with since the early days have powered down and left due to the Bernie, Bloom, FTG battles, so I'm annoyed.
▀
The only interaction I had with you on discord was calling you a DIB. seems that is still true.
LOL, seriously I just LOL.
I find that some people have to be ignored.. as even trying to rationalize with them makes them rage. 🤷🏻♀️
It look more to me that you are trying to silence negative comments against @themarkymark, @llfarms, whose embroilment in this drama is unbecoming of a witness in my opinion. The only reason he is embroiled is becsuse if his moonlighting as a vote bot merchant.
Wow, another winner here.
What part of this was me silencing comments again? Do you guys wake up and drink the stupid juice together first thing in the morning or what?
I was actually negative to him in the post... maybe I should flag my own post
It seems you have a feud with Markymark, awesome.. not sure how flagging a curation group helps that, or why you think this post is about your stupid, unintelligent and obnoxious feud.. as my post is pretty clear on what my goal is, but you would have to actually read it.
it’s clear you and your clan would like to misdirect as much as possible because holy shit the community doesn’t like the curation group being flagged. So please, continue to distract.. I don’t care about your bs drama 🤷🏻♀️
And if your worried about your besties smidge and garudi being flagged (as that’s the only possible thing I can see making even a small amount of sense out of your comment), tell them to tone down the crazy and people might listen to them. You seem to be sort of on their level though, so that may be pointless.

I thought FTG and his SP was one of the top curator.
I remember he had to undelegate to all the people he was supporting to counter @haejin.
@llfarms What difference does it make if @themadcurator get flagged... as long as it's not countering the ligit benevolent upvotes it's handing out?
I know that he delegated to many individuals and groups in the past that focused on some sort of curation or support of authors, I believe he currently still is supporting some individuals through auto and maybe some manual curation. As I said in the post, I think he has done some great things. I also remember when he had to pull his SP to fight haejin.. as far as his current curation, I guess I can’t really comment there as I don’t know what he does.
Why does it matter if he’s flagging a manual curation effort? Where does it stop?
What does it say to curation groups when a large stake holder (who is even apparently known for curation) is doing so? You think it makes people want to go curate?
I know it’s hard for some people here to see, but what actually happens on this platform has an effect on the community. And when I say community, I mean all the users here. While myself, you and many others can just simply ignore the bs and carry on.. it actually affects many.
The morale of the community is our PR in a way whether we want to admit it or not. And yeah, it seems the community is not happy with what is happening, which is why I’m speaking up.
I’m not trying to play mediator between the two groups, as that was a waste of time previously, I’m just voicing concerns of the community. The users who are too afraid to say anything. The ones who have asked me to fix this, and there are many.
I think that these meaningless flags has an impact on both sides.. because while they are meaningless to some, they cause damage in many ways to others.
Madcurator is not a part of a group or upvoting a certain group.. it’s manual curation to unique authors.. once we say this is acceptable, well then.. what’s next? 🤷🏻♀️
I’m voicing a concern from the community, that’s it. What the individuals choose to do is up to them.
What happens when @themadcurator leaves as he doesn't want to put up with this shit?
Do you not see some irony that you are concerned about a Proof of Brain curation project being caught up in the crossfire because of an issue surrounding a for profit voting bot run by a Witness???
As I have said to you many times as you bring this up a lot, I'd rather have a transparent and honest witness running it than the 80+ bots that are run with zero accountability or transparency. You would be surprised how many of those bots don't even provide the votes paid.
As you said, we do seem to be going in circles.
▀
The lack of self awareness of all involved is dissapointing. All I see is a bunch of pettiness and poisoning a well they hope to draw from in perpetuity. The optics are bad. Over what? How much USD is being disputed? When people with influence on a platform turn it into a cess pool of in fighting, guess what happens. People leave.

There needs to be a way to deescalate situation. People should chill more and appreciate each other, because we're in this together, yeah even with people we don't like. We all want to see Steem succeeds.
The Mad Curator has made so many people happy with its curation effort, so I do think it should be left alone from this whale war.
I hope your day gets better lele <3.
@fulltimegeek is thinking about the way he can be the most malicious to me so can go back to spamming with impunity.
Right now that is flagging all my comments with 100+ bots so I have no voice on this platform and attacking one of the best projects I delegate to.
Funny thing, after all this, the post he tried to vote for 400 Steem is flagged to $0 anyway by Spaminator, why? Cause it's garbage, just like the 16,000 other posts a day he was doing. This has happened before, and he bullied Steem Cleaners to remove the flags.
Everyone cries about bid bot abuse, spam, trending, but you do something about it, fuck you!
I spend the majority of my time giving away steem and steem monster packs in endless contests, running full nodes, helping other witnesses, building apps for steem, posting helpful content, and fighting spam.
What does FTG do? Spam the blockchain with other people's content, circle jerk anyone who will be his puppet, and pretend he is the Steem hero. He couldn't even make a month running his witness because he wasn't making enough. Meanwhile, behind the scenes, he is bullying and threatening people.
I suggest everyone who wants to know what is going on read my post so you have some context of what is going on.
This comment will be hidden in 3.. 2.. 1..
I rescued this comment, yeah Mark, I agree FTG is losing any good will he once had with downvoting curation projects, but it has also been a long time since I viewed anything Bernie is picking on worthwhile too. He used to be entertaining and fight for good. Now he just seems like a giant snowflake offended by opinions and views of others.
Destruction of a project.
You should learn the difference between being "offended" and "suppressing retards". Difficult for your type, I get it.
She’s got a point and you know it, you get on the crazy bus from time to time and even those that see the good you do, have a hard time trying to understand it. So, her opinion is fair.
She's also kind of a c***...to be fair...
Since I am not a snowflake and I can handle other people's mean words. This doesn't bother me in the least.
I miss the entertaining bernie. This one is just a bully who seeks out others who aren't bothering anyone and picks on them. That's boring.
That's where you show your true ignorance. You have absolutely 0 data to back up your claims about these "others" I am seeking out. It's a few and there are excellent reasons.
Ignorance is bliss, isn't it sweetheart?
Yeah, it's true... My impressions are not fact-based nor backed by data. I don't like to fight with you. Just bring on some better drama. :)
And now you’re pissing me off. Clean it up Berns, you’re better than that.

Don’t make idiotic comments 🤷🏻♀️
A lot of wrong goes into some of the flagging contests too. Agree on this though.

@themarkymark @berniesanders @llfarms ... this is who they really are
▀
I agree with @LLFarms on this. Manual curation is time consuming work to do properly and should NOT be caught up on man child wars.
No one is every completely wrong or completely right so ... without getting into the middle of whatever the conflicts are... @themadcurator project needs to be neutral space and you @fulltimegeek need to back off.
