RE: WTF Is Going On With The Vaccine Debate? - Part 1
@valued-customer - there is no comment from a markymark. I double checked even.
This comment is also greyed out due to low ratings.
Are all of your comments like that? I mean you just posted it yesterday, how & WHY would it get a low rating already? : (
Thanks for letting me know what happened.
I posted a request for information regarding the matter. The reply I received from @markymark was provided there.
@iflagtrash and @abusereports, both sock puppets of @berniesanders, flagged the above comment. Since he has a lot of Steem on both those accounts, he reduced the value of the comment nominally to censor it. I use Steempeak, and not Steemit or another frontend to use Steem, so the comment is not greyed out to me, because Steempeak handles flagging a little differently, or perhaps because it's my own comment. I don't really know why it isn't greyed out to me.
I don't know why you are unaware of the flags on the comment. Partiko has been suggested to not reveal some flags, but that's the only interface I am aware of, and only one user has told me that about it, so I don't know the facts of the matter, since I don't use Partiko.
This comment will also receive two flags from Bernie, and probably be greyed out as well.
@valued-customer - ahh, I see now.
Are you the same person as Libertyteeth?
If not, why are they doing this to you? : (
I keep forgetting to log in using SteamPlus. I didn't like Steampeak when I tried it last year.
I just logged in & it also prevented me from seeing it.
Also b/c of the bloody banners at the top now which are NOT coded properly, certain things don't show up near the top, & every time I come across a thread that is hidden, I can't even see the button to show it. It's very frustrating.
I had an issue with their banner covering up my headline a few weeks ago & it caused me a whole bunch of stress as the wrong heading went on the wrong post LOL
All I can see are the names of the people who voted, but where does it say you (or the comment) were flagged?
And yes, it's those two names.
What's a sock puppet?
This is the only account I use on Steem. I am not @libertyteeth. From the name, it sounds like I like him, though =)
I've never tried Steemplus, but Steempeak has no ads, no banners, and I have learned to like it very much. I am trying to not like it too much though, because I'd like to give Kure a try (have a look at it. You can find out more from @krnel, who is making it now).
On the front ends I have tried (Steemit, Busy, and Steempeak) there are two different kinds of votes: upvotes and downvotes. On all three I see two different groups of voters. @iflagtrash and the other berniebot (forget the name. I don't really care) are the downvoters, or flaggers, and upvotes are listed separately. A sock puppet is an account that is just another account owned by a particular user. Other words for such an account is an alt, a bot, so on so forth.
Bernie flags a lot. He has a lot of Steem, because he was one of the original ninjaminers. He has caused a lot of drama, and has flagged more than one account so hard the user just quit Steem. My opinion is that he wants me to pander to him because he thinks he's important because of his stake. I ain't pandering. That makes him mad, so he runs a script that flags all my posts and comments because he thinks that will cause me to change how I act or speak. It won't. He's recently increased the size of his flags so that my comments are no longer able to gain rewards. I don't care much about rewards, so that doesn't really bother me. An enemy of his used to upvote my posts and comments to counter his flags, but he, @fulltimegeek, was completely censored by Steemit, and he recently seems to have given up. I dunno, as we but rarely spoke before he was so censored that he could no longer comment. Even his upvotes were censored, and appeared as mystery votes, because the names of the accounts he used would not be displayed next to the upvotes.
Even so, I did not come here to make money. I came here to speak the truth as I see it, and to hear other's honest opinions. Since Bernie's flags don't stop that from happening, the flags don't bother me much.
Thanks!
Sorry to hear.
I wanted to send you a link. Can you add me as a friend on Discord?
I changed my user name to the same one I have here.
Thanks for the info.
DM me. I am rarely on Discord, but will eventually get your DM. My username there is the same as here.
Done
