RE: Weekly report as steem representative- 8th October 2023
I feel the same as you do and want to quit because my working ethics stop me from staying with cheats and scammers/farming accounts especially when people who can control them do not listen to suggestions.
Now, admittedly, this is not the first time in six years that I have been faced with the question "Should I stay or should I go?" Maybe it's the hope that never dies, maybe it's a form of arrogance, thinking that even the smallest screw in the gearbox can make a difference. I always come to the conclusion: Stay. Stay and change. Even if it causes a few more grey hairs.... ;-)
Unfortunately, I am graying faster than I can afford to especially when they inform the cheaters and they come to threaten me. I am trying to get rid of all the responsibilities and will stay an independent blogger and leave everything to the management and powers that be.
Wise decision. Though you have to be in certain "positions" if you want to be heard having suggestions.
For example, you can always emphasise in your sc team "No, we're not voting for that, there's already a booming vote. No, we don't vote for that, another team has already voted for that. No, we're not voting for that, that's just your best friend again." Just for example. And I know how exhausting it is. How exhausting it is to keep fighting windmills. But only movement can make a difference. Movement is life, stagnation is death.
Well, that's easy for me to say. I left an sc-team over a year ago when SEC posts were mushrooming. I was so tired of reading the same thing over and over again. But if you want to do your job properly, you have to read. A lot of reading. And even at this point, I realise that not everyone does this...
Unfortunately, I read every post and go into the background of the so-called authors. I have been doing this even before I took the moderation duties and saw the growing number of farming accounts. I have busted one and managed to drive them away (14 accounts) but the one I am having problems that consists of 7-8 and only two of them are real. I can handle them on my own but I don't want to be rude. The irony of the whole story is that they aren't scared of the outcome as they believe there is nothing wrong as long as they have managed to cheat the newcomers' team. Sometimes I believe that everything is possible including votes if you trust in "Sharing is caring". I hope you know what I mean.
