RE: Why Can't I upvote? This is getting Frustrating!
@l0k1 ...Really knows his 'steem'!... @ibringawareness ...you are 'good' as well! I follow you both, and I advise you also follow each other...(if you haven't already done so)...I am definitely no expert on this platform! ...My first post drew a LOT of steem! ...but posts after it gather none?...I really feel that the d@mned 'trolls' here have stung my butt!...I don't want to have any contact with them...but yet HERE they ARE!...something really needs to be done about them...they are detrimenting this platform!
I ran into trouble with a particularly well heeled troll in my first week here. The fight that ensued hammered my reputation score very badly, I was up at around 50 and then BAM. 10. But I took this experience in, and it inspired me to the ideas I have had about creating the SteemHordes name/group system, and firstly, to get busy programming to build an interface that implemented a proper block function to disappear these kinds of sad people from my screen.
This also led to me thinking more and more about what led to me writing that article I posted last night that is doing so well with being upvoted. Because I am going to be paid for having received these ideas and put them down for others to read, I now can also continue to work on my programming project, which the promotion of is helping me advance my position here also.
Don't let the trolls get you down. This platform will eventually make it a thing of the past, even if for the time being the mechanisms are not in place to do much to mitigate the problem. They will be over time, because anyone who implements it, is going to win votes for posts about the solutions, and the ideas that lead to the solution, and the steps along the way.
