RE: Proposal: SteemWorld Support
Okay, thanks for the prompt reply @howo. This ...
"Also it's a way of showing my disagreement ..."
... is what I was anticipating. Here on a decentralized blockchain we are, of course, free to do whatever seems best to us. But I for one hope and pray this approach is consistently and heavily discouraged. I don't know where you live or what your philosophy in life is, but I consider freedom of expression to be a cornerstone of our liberties.
As for this ...
"... because he stacked tons of bidbots and I am against that.'
... "tons" ... ??? ... Hmmm, okay, frankly I had not noticed. In general, I understand this is one of the fundamental purposes of our new downvoting mechanism. But ... Would you find any agreement that perhaps case by case this should be considered? @steemchiller is likely to be viewed by many as an exception to this uhhh ... "rule" ...
By all means @howo, make your disagreements known. Hopefully, as civilly and respectfully as you can manage (as you have done here ...). I am asking you "publicly," however, to reconsider your 100% downvote.
At a minimum, you could consider "sliding it back down the scale" a bit (or a lot!), but still leave something in place as more of a symbolic, rather than a punitive, statement against the use of bidbots.
Thank you again! I didn't even use any bid-bots, but it looks like someone just wanted to be kind... Don't even begin to look, if they are boosting their own posts to the top ;)
Great point @steemchiller! They didn't even bother to look at wallets, to determine where the funds came from ...
In a future post, you may wish to think of a tactful way to point that out somewhere in the closing of it. Now with HF
21/22 behind us, there is a lot more attention being paid to downvoting, so you would perhaps avoid this happening again.I did make an appeal here, but ... No response ... Well, hopefully it won't impact you too much (although Smooth has a much bigger SP balance voted at 100% ...).
Please @michealb, consider removing your downvote, since I suppose it is the result of a trail vote rule!
Thank you!
