RE: A call for delegation
yes i understand a vote trail. On that note should the higher ups of curie review who they are trailing? How often do they review these things? It is tax time here in the USA so maybe it is time for curie to audit themselves on some internal level of what is going on. I realize they are huge and it will take some effort but they are going to have to sometime or else they will become a feeding trough for scammer piglets.
edit: it seems like we are trying to say the same thing except i am more pissed about what is going on here.
Well for one thing, the votes had been removed 16 hours before your comment here - so obviously it had already been caught and corrected. Two of the founders of Curie, as "high up" as there are in Curie operations, are @donkeypong and @kevinwong and they have actually removed themselves mostly from "regular" Curie activites and have dedicated their time to supporting and monitoring the sub-community teams (@donkeypong supporting/monitoring the regional specific sub-communities that receive Curie support; and @kevinwong supporting/monitoring the interest-specific sub-communities that receive Curie support). So yes, Curie higher ups are already doing exactly as you suggest.
Listen it isn't like I am not angry when a plagiarizer or spammer gets a reward. But I also have the big picture of Curie operations in mind. In past two weeks, 1729 votes outgoing from @curie and 1679 of those were to unique authors. That is 97%. The remaining 3% of authors that received multiple upvotes from @curie during that time period were largely from the sub-communities, and certainly it is not the case that all or even many of those were given to spammers/scammers/plagiarizers. The Curie vote record stands up to close inspection, and indeed, more so than any other major account I can think of. I would be interested to see what account you think is doing a better job than Curie in ensuring that outgoing votes are both spread out to a broad number of authors, and has instituted manual review of EVERY post that receives a large upvote.
it is a good start. how about going down to number 6 on the list. his name is gee-world and ironicly he is drawing a curie vote for a series of very very short posts named ............... the smart but lazy man................ i got a good laugh out of that one
i would downvote it but that is worth more than my entire vote. Maybe they should just hire me on to hunt these pricks down. Do they have any job openings for headhunters?
Yeah, I just checked that out. He's making way more money on each post than I usually get and they are definitely not up to what I have been told @curie's standards are. Good sleuthing, @doomsdaychassis.
unfortuneatly like everything in my life people just take my concern as me being an asshole and defend the problem and attack me instead of attacking the problem with me. I am use to it. One of these days i will have enough steem power to make a difference and then i will start fucking some peoples days up. But for now i am just a piss ant with no voice.
Oh you have a voice. I'm glad you are using it for good.
just to be clear here, this is the curie vote following another curation team's curation trail. It is not a "Curie" in the sense of the big votes that have guidelines to follow, curated and reviewed by Curie curators and reviewers. The actual vote here was cast by a different curation group that Curie has supported with a vote trail. You can read my more in depth reply above higher up in this chain, but wanted to note that. I will try to work out what curation group is upvoting this and get them to blacklist the user. cheers
I got that, but it's not just one user. There are quite a few people getting these same votes for crap posts. On a lot of posts. I would say that curie should start looking into who they are following. This is reward pool rape, just not on a huge scale like haijin.
hey thanks for looking this up, meant to get back to this this morning but got sidetracked. I am trying to figure out which sub-community this is now
this one looks like the Nigerian sub-community. I will have a chat with the leaders of that community, I honestly have no idea what their guidelines are. Just for clarity for anyone reading these comments, these "sub-communities" are independent curation communities. Not a part of Curie. Curie just follows their curation trail. I will talk to them. Thanks for bringing this forward. Cheers
