👍 Weekly Downvote Compensation Post - Target: $33.99
Some of you will have read my post from a couple of days ago which was the culmination of about a month of utter nonsense on Steemit.
@steemcleaners / @spaminator have decided to downvote my every post and comment because I decided to end their reward farming, most recently with @scitech.
As a result of this, I decided to use different accounts for posting and commenting. Fortunately, steemcleaners were too stupid to notice this but @bullionstackers, who lacks the intelligence to understand, decided to start downvoting them.
On top of this, after 4 years of being on the platform, I decided to introduce a friend of mine - @suttercane - who after having difficulty signing up, was instantly downvoted by this very same moron.
I decided that the solution would be to upvote everything they all downvoted but this enduringly pointless exercise became all consuming and completely nulled my enjoyment of the platform.
When you log in and see this every single day, you start to question why you dedicate so much time to it.
And that doesn't even include the angry little Indonesians that I caught plagiarising and reward farming.
So here is the first of many, many MANY
posts that I will write, detailing and totalling all of the downvotes I, and others, receive from these idiots.
The rewards of which, will be distributed to the victims of Steemit's downvotes.
I tried @bullionsavers as an initiative - an idea that I rather liked but this required constant attention. And I don't have any intention of giving these morons my attention at all, let alone on a daily basis.
So, this post will be weekly. If it doesn't earn enough to compensate for the totals being shared, then it will become more frequent.
This is my way of asking the community to come together. Please show us all that you care.
Need Help?
If you've been a victim too, please reply and I'll include whichever account that is downvoting you into my analysis.
If you've been caught plagiarising, reward farming, spamming or any other immoral activity on the platform (yes my band of admirers, I'm looking at you), then please don't waste your time or mine.

So you'll appreciate why I've had enough and for those that asked why, here's why.
A total of $33.99 in less than a week. So bearing in mind this has been happening for well over a month now... well.
I was one conversation away from turning my back on this platform. But instead, I decided that I'd fight in a different way.
By ignoring their idiotic games. Games that they can now play by themselves.
And feel good about myself by compensating everybody who crosses their path.
For those that have read this far, if this idea is successful, then I will get back to running the initiatives that have brought us closer together.
I'm truly sorry that good, hard-working people like you have to deal with these issues.
As you know, I've had to deal with this type of harassment myself, and it's truly disheartening when you open Steemworld and find this... You're right, sometimes you can deal with it, but other times it's demoralizing, especially feeling like no one else cares about what happens to us. You were the only one who stepped up to the plate to support me when I received these downvotes; no one else came forward to say or do anything. I know that when we receive support, the downvotes are diluted, but the harassment is still bothersome.
I don't want you to leave, or give up, so I think we can find a way to continue...
Alone we can go faster, but together we can go further. I'm here to support you, and I hope others will join us in this as well.

Exactly - I know that people care. I know that there will be somebody else. In the case of bullionstackers, I have a list of people that he's targeted - which the Bangla community is compensating on a regular basis.
I know that we both have strong connections on this platform - the kind of connections that will make this idea a long-term success.
I have many thoughts on this. But I'll save them for another time.
I've reflected a lot over the past 48 hours and there's a reason that Hive is so full of downvotes and hatred.... good people walk away. Nice people walk away. I've come incredibly close to powering down and leaving and if it weren't for a few people, I would have done.
Then they'll move their hatred to the next good person. Continue until they're gone. And again. And again. Until all that's left is selfish hatred and a desire to destroy.
Knowing what the correct path is is difficult. The sadness and anger that they evoke fuels them to do more - attack more - be bigger dick heads. All they'll get to attack now, is a post to compensate for their entire hate-fuelled week. And some comments which I write in the expectation that they'll be zeroed out. Hence the use of this account. My "meh, downvote me" account.

ABB users are regular victims of him. But the community always recovered from that. But not everyone gets that support. He downvotes me many times. I never got the recovery. Once I stopped posting anything in ABB. If I had enough power, I would like to join you. Keep Going.

Thank you. With this approach, nothing is required from anybody, other than to upvote the weekly post and ask everybody that you know to do the same.
If the post exceeds the target payout, the victims of their abuse benefit, rather than get penalised. And eventually, his puny brain will realise that he's benefiting those that he's attacking instead of hurting them.
Perhaps he'll decide that these posts are such good posts to earn curation rewards from, that he'll start upvoting them himself 🤣 Although that will depend upon what he's been smoking on that particular day.
In the communtity Italy weekly around 5 entries are downvoted. i once asked who did that (no answer or not able to figure it out?) they say they started @shield-it for that reason. is it an option to do start something like that or join hands with them?
I was going to mention shield-it account here. But, then I saw your comment.
I am not familiar with such attacks. I knew them when I came across @ shield-it post.
By the way, the "premier league fantasy" contest that @sporting-gorilla was hosting was cool. It would be nice if this can get sorted out and we get it back. If we did, feel free to join in. ;)

It sounds to me that shield-it is possible since this is by far not the only account. I've been downvoted more than once and still around what helps is not to read the notifications and post and do what you like most
I would say strange but it's more interesting how frequently power is given to the wrong people. I assume they will solve this since it's their responsibility.
Let me know if the fun contests continues.
BTW instead of an upvote we can transfer SP/Steem and in the early days we had tipu which seems not be accesable to everyone (I informed more thatn once since I still see those upvotes).
Yeah, there are things which cannot be avoided at sometimes. But, it is good having those sort of accounts around to make it fair.
I will surely invite you on the next one. I just hope that I don't miss it too. LOL
I came across tipu before. But, I don't know much about it too.
Have a nice week...
It will return once this international / FA Cup break is over so there's a natural break anyway. I probably didn't need to cancel this weekend's but emotion got the better of me. That won't happen again.
Don't say that emotions don't count. It's fine this way.

I've spoken to the Italy team after I created something similar - @bullionsavers. But... it was too consuming, both with time, energy and emotion. I was thinking about it constantly, fighting constantly and I didn't join this site to fight with dimwits.
So with this approach, it's once per week. The code's written. The data's accumulating and if this post is anything to go by, the community will continue to come together and we'll win.
After this post, there are already different targets. (not from steemcleaners and spaminator - they're literally a one-trick pony). Now that I've raised above bullionstackers' games, he's attacking my friends, hoping that he'll get a reaction. Which he won't. He's trying to be clever but obviously isn't very good at it.
Just a thought - instead of me replying in 10 places, let's try to consolidate the next comment into 1 🙂
If you need extra SP let me know.
No person with common sense joins to fight if he want to blog or likes to have fun, it should be a hobby and bring energy not eat it. It's fine with me if you write one answer or none at all. Will Italy shield if we all post with them?
Thought about muting to have peace of mind or no longer reading? I hit the mute since two days.
Don't forget to knock you have my support and enjoy the weekend!
It sounds like the one world order.. reign over an empty world...
If it comes to Hive and Steemit I can't help thinking that the the same reign, since the same happens
Hive is so much worse. The reason that Hive exists is because of their hatred doctrine. Their entire platform's foundation and reason it exists in the first place is through hatred (and stupidity). They were unreasonable and went to war. A war that they ultimately lost and still haven't stopped fighting!
I was there when the complaints started and said, "If it's not good enough, start for yourself," and the response was, "That's exactly what we're going to do." Fine, but what I never understood was why there was immense energy invested in downvoting and threatening. If I were them, I would be happy to leave and have my peace.
They took everything: all the apps, the poll (indeed, it was outside of steemit but if you used it, the poll was posted in the personal account), palnet, leo, the health apps, peakd, sbi, ecency, dllike, you name it. I ended up on a blacklist on Hive being published among others and many freewriters who wanted to be on both platforms (since we had a copied account with SP and posts). The respond of the one who posted the blacklist after being attacked by many was: I never thought I had that much power. I must say a lot of tensions was gone after the hardfork but the platform did change during the past years again it's not easy if you know no one and have no support if you are under attack. A strong will and a boxing ball are a big help.
No one fights forever. The last throes of a doomed man.

And that's probably what makes these people different - and why the anger is ultimately all that's left. That's all they have. They don't see it as anger or hatred, they see it as a purpose. Their purpose in life is to feel almighty. Powerful. And they try to accomplish this with hatred and destruction.
They'll probably die young.
And this is normal. It's expected. It's what they rely on. It's why good people leave, and the hate stays. It's why Hive will ultimately die. People will see it for what it is. A platform whose entire foundation is grounded in hatred and intolerance.
Thank you. I appreciate the support. I think that the best support that anybody can give is to look at this list each week, see the names and be there for them. Whether that's votes or simply kind words - that's what will make Steemit's community stronger - and fighting against hate is a great way of bringing people closer.

I'm planning to do it weekly and having started it on a Friday, my intention is that it will be every Friday. If one post doesn't reach the required level to compensate everybody through the beneficiaries, then I'll write as many posts as required to reach the target.
Why did it happen to you but moreover what made you stay?
That happened right after I finished the season with wewrite. What happened was that I basically told one of them to stop spamming with the @claudia account, which was her self-vote, and I also told her to stop accusing people and downvoting them without reason. That's a summary. Suddenly, one day, people (A couple of the ones the gorilla mentions here in his post) started downvoting me. When I tried to report the situation and leave a comment, tagging several community leaders, only one person responded at that time, to that comment.... I think they're afraid of receiving downvotes themselves, you know what I mean? That's why they don't say anything...
The thing is, even though I was mentioned in a Discord group, asking what was going on, I explained things, and received some support, but then they forgot about it, and I continued receiving those downvotes for over three months on all my posts and comments.
the-gorilla took it upon themselves to upvote to make up for this.
Why did I stay? Because I didn't think it was enough reason to leave.
I know those votes can be very damaging to smaller accounts, and can even destroy their reputations. I reported them, as I've told you before. Because I know the damage they can do. It's annoying, but after a while, I stopped paying attention. And I think it's the best thing we can do when this happens.
As for the community, they shouldn't look the other way, but rather support us in any way they can, that's my opinion.
Right now, I know that many aren't commenting on this post from our friend for fear of being attacked. And well, although I respect the positions of others, I don't agree with this, since what happens to a colleague today could happen to us tomorrow. So it's better to look at what's happening and see if something can be done.

I said the same but I admit that I rarely check if I receive an upvote let alone I will easily notice if I am downvoted. If this is the case I hear it from the community Italy, who keeps an eye on the those being downvoted and they use shield-it. What I find strange is that they told me they don't know who does it.
btw the accounts are active in Italy, received votes and I did tell them in September 2024 how or what but as far as I know they didn't see a reason to act.
If it comes to downvotes it never feels great because one easily believes he/she did do something wrong but it helps if we know that whatever we post is always on our account and our responsibility and no one else's. Therefore the question is: does it matter what other think, how they rate you? A down vote of .50 is huge if you in acreage not even make those 0.50.
With you I agree that this should be discusses and not ignored. If this is the case by "friends" followers or... I can only conclude that they show their true colours. It's sad but at least this is know and there's no need to keep investing in friendships or give upvotes. That may sound harse but I rather vote for the same 10 7 times per day and have a low CSI than voting for hypocrites who only care about their own wallet.
Will this happen to them? 100% and 200% sure they will be the first complaining and asking for help (unfortunately I have a very good memory and no problem with denying help).
I am sorry to hear this happened to you and the worst is that after all the work everyone let you down except for the gorilla.
Ignoring helped in your case, but I doubt if that many hatred is ventilated (I read the comments) this will always pass if you ignore since it goes way further over there, including threatening entire families.
Hate and envy is a nasty thing and privacy is precious since the steemit meeting aren't safe to be for everyone
Any suggestions what can be done? It sounds good to me to block the option of upvoting/downvoting and so on. Can SP be blocked after 3 auto warnings of abusive behaviour?

Well, when I want to see my story's activity, I don't go to the Steemit blog, but rather check Steemworld; you can see everything there.
The same thing happens if you check other accounts. Claudia's account is linked to those accounts that hate Steemit, and you can see all the links there.
You can also see if you've received negative votes in the green dots next to your posts. The green dots are positive votes, and the red ones are downvotes:
I was reviewing my blog, and it didn't happen when it ended, but during the time I was with you in wewrite... from September to January, and then in February they came back again, and then they left....
I didn't say anything or want to do anything else. Nowadays, I don't hold any resentment; I understand that people are afraid to act. But when I look back at how I felt at the time, it's a feeling of "no one cares anymore," and it can feel really bad... It's a type of psychological abuse, and I understand very well how it feels.
Nothing can be done about the accounts. I think they can be blocked, but not their use of the SP. That's what I've been able to find out. I don't know if anything can be done about it. I think a HF would be necessary, and that would require a greater effort to resolve the problem, as far as I understand...

I never want to know how my account is doing. If I have to check everything, it won't be good for me because I easily start digging or searching for answers, which in most cases only confirms what I already knew. It feels like a waste of time. I prefer to do what I like most and if people join me that's fine if not it's fine too.
I never looked at the dots... I know I once checked as Italy said I was downvoted. I couldn't find that back, which I know I did find strange. Can be I had a look at steemworld.org, but for sure, underneath where you can see who upvoted and I didn't see the minus + name which I found weird. Shouldn't it show with a downvote?
I had a chat with claudia as she said someone was spamming or something, but if I remember well, it is made undone. The thing about self-voting I find hard. If one works with more than 1 account, a self vote is never in it, which at times sounds odd to me since it is acceptable to upvote others with all my accounts. No one complains about that.
I hope a solution will be found. A community where the attacked can post to at least be rewarded (compensated) might be a help, especially if the downvoting stops after a certain time like also happened after the hardfork (everyone was downvoted who wanted to have a look at Hive and also the ones with SBI).
A community like this might be a way to make visible what happens.
It's just a thought, but is there a way that if an account is muted also the option of giving an upvote/downvote is impossible just like commenting? Blocking someone should mean something (not that I am not happy with not being able to see certain steemians even if others still see the messages).

There's a mute option, but not a block option.
Anyway, the mute option doesn't work like it does on other networks. If I mute someone, for example, it prevents me from seeing them, but it doesn't prevent that user from seeing me. It's supposed to work so they can't see me either, but it doesn't.
Muting works best in communities. If I mute someone in a community, that user can't post or comment, but they can see the posts and can also vote or downvote.
In any case, it would be a good idea to be able to block users who are harmful to us, and for the blocking to be bidirectional.
I have no experience in this. But, what you are saying right now is making sense I guess. By the way, are there anyone to reach out to when something like this happens.
I just came across @sporting-gorilla by accident and saw the fantasy contest. It was fun. All of a sudden this happens.
I hope this gets sorted out.
Have a nice day =D
I was wondering about your last post. Oh dear, those old accounts that have bothered so many people. I also had the “pleasure” a long time ago.
We should create a way to restrict such obviously harmful accounts, e.g. if 17 Witnesses agree, certain rights such as voting, downvoting, posting can be withdrawn from an account. This would probably require a HF to be made...
Anyway, I wish you good nerves and I will of course support you.

Die Idee, dass 17 Witness zustimmen müssen und noch einiges mehr an "Drumherum" war vor ca. 2 Jahren ein Vorschlag von symbionts im damaligen Blurt-Witness-Kanal auf Discord, von daher kenne ich die Idee. Interessant, dass dies (wahrscheinlich schon damals) im Code vorhanden ist.
Die meisten DVoter die ich mir kurz angesehen habe, voten mit delegierter Power, d.h. nach einer Sperrung gibt's evtl. nen neuen Account und dann geht die Geschichte wieder von vorne los. Man müsste das Übel an der Wurzel packen und Delegationen für solch spezielle Acc sperren. Ok, bringt auch nicht viel, wer unbedingt Schaden anrichten will macht nen PD und nach 4 Wochen geht das Theater mit einem neuen Acc weiter.

The result was that many left and this still happens which isn't great for many Steemians who have to deal with it alone and will not find help. Italy has shield-it for the community.. it might not help everyone but what if there's a community where those who are attacked can post once or twice per week and the downvote can be compensated with the same amount? It will not help with every post but at least some growth can be realised and not every upvote given is lost.

What do you mean, shielding against downvotes from certain accounts? It would be nice if that were possible.

The community Italy has @shield-it. If someone posting in the community is downvoted they upvote with the same amount. It's every week the same story. In turn we are all downvoted because???
We could do the same with a separate community and delegate SP or if not enough transfer Steem or what is possible.
The best would be that if we mute someone we can also not give and receive upvotes/downvotes.

How about adding a couple of comments to be upvoted under these weekly posts?
So users with smaller votes could vote these comments too, besides the post.As an example my vote at 100% voting power barely adds 0.02$ it doesn't even refresh the payout value.
Adding a couple more comments so I could upvote them and raise the 0.02$ to 0.10$-0.15$ (which again isn't much) would make my small vote help more.
You could use the payouts of these comments as a helping fund/emergency fund if you need to help people that were downvoted.

I think this must not be - it could be considered spam and anger other envious people.
If we stick together as a community, what we have is enough. We just need a few more people to get involved and not put on blinders.

Well I think he said that he is not using @bullionsavers anymore:
So I removed my delegation from that one (since it is not used anymore), wanted to ask if maybe a delegation directly to the main account (@the-gorilla) could help?
I think we can get some SP delegated, maybe even steemcurator could help since gorilla is doing so much for the platform and helped in so many cases.

I truly appreciate that you'd like to do more and your delegation to bullionsavers meant a lot.
I've typed and retyped this part of my reply 10 times already. I'm obviously finding words difficult to come by at the moment.
First off - bullionsavers...
I liked that idea and in many ways, I still do. But it was all manual.
Because bullionstackers likes to downvote 12 hours before payout, the corresponding upvote needs to come immediately. This is only effective if the voting power and Resource Credits are at an appropriate level. Consistently.
This vote could have been automated, but bullionstackers' games would have inevitably involved him downvoting his own accounts (yes, he has loads - he once had a delegation from Steemit which he lost because he used it to reward farm).
Then there's the 12 hours. So instead of auto voting whatever he downvoted, I manually found something more recent to upvote. Which gave him time to recharge his downvoting power and the cycle continued. Every day. A manual downvote / upvote war that benefits absolutely nobody and from a personal point of view is totally destructive to the enjoyment I've recently rediscovered on this platform.
I also believe that every upvote that counters his downvotes gives him the joy - the idea that he's upsetting somebody. That's why it's reached this level. I reacted. Which I won't do again.
He's alone. He has NOTHING good here. Every post or comment that is written to compensate or help others will be attacked by him. It's his fuel and his energy. He craves nothing more than attention - any attention. Like a 3 year old whose mother is trying to talk to somebody else.
This post will still give him a moment to feel that in some perverse way, that he is special, like his mother always told him he was. But every other day of the week, he'll have nothing to wake up for. He'll be all alone again and he won't suck the energy from people like us any more.

Ja, I think he said so. I was just to busy to remove the delegation. It's okay that now that bullionstacker has realised it I am his next target... ;-D
You should ask Gorilla himself if a delegation to his account is helpful (in this special case). In my opinion it's not. I think the gorilla's account(s) has to be torn out of focus. In my opinion we need an account fed by the community. But until this will work, we still have to think a little bit to find a good solution that matches to the idea of many. Fact is that the focus cannot stay at one person. That makes him/her/us/our mental health vulnerable. That's not good.
Of course it's always nice when sc helps. But I think that makes a lot of us "lazy" and "not caring". You know, like "sc does it, thank godness, it's not 'my' affair anymore". I hate this attitude. I am a stubborn in this case and I want the community to understand that this is a community affair.
Well...

I do think this is a good idea, although listing the downvotes here looks more like a personal reckoning. But other times will come...
Until just now, I was thinking how unfortunate it is that you mention those who look the other way, but not those who help immediately. I've balanced almost all the downvotes (even my own with such an ugly-looking comment self-vote), and there are some (even very "small" ones) who immediately delegated to the "rescue account." This is exactly how we could have tried it first. It's always better than acting like a lone wolf. Oh well. He's now hooked and is distributing mini-downvotes, making things really confusing.
Until just now, I was thinking all of this, but now I'm really angry: Now our community account is being attacked. This is completely unacceptable.
Of course, I'm balancing the downvotes, and the rewards are now even higher than before. Certainly not what this guy wanted. Like that? Funny? No, I have neither the desire nor the time for this monkey business. Kindergarten!
@moecki, @steemchiller - sorry, I'm mentioning you on behalf of the Witnesses because I know you "personally" - you know and have the code... Please act!

Ich möchte an dieser Stelle gar nicht viel dazu schreiben, vielleicht hat dir der Gorilla auch schon privat berichtet.
Wir hatten im Zeugenkanal darüber diskutiert und auch eine "Lösung"...

Also, nicht wirklich berichtet - und das ist gut so: Was auf bestimmten Kanälen besprochen wird, sollte dort auch bleiben.
Ich weiß eben von diesem Code (den ja auch Michelangelo angesprochen hat) und weiß, dass sich mehrere Zeugen für seinen Einsatz aussprechen müssen, wenn es denn geschehen soll. Und dass der Gorilla diese Möglichkeit einigen Zeugen genannt hat, hat er mir erzählt, ja. Von Resultaten weiß ich nichts.

Ja, mindestens 17 Zeugen müssen einen neuen Code einsetzen, damit die Kette mit diesem Code weitergeführt wird.
Der von Michelangelo angesprochende Code ist offensichtlich doch ein anderer. Diesen Ansatz habe ich heute auch erst von Symbionts erfahren, nachdem ich im Zeugenkanal hierüber berichtet hatte.

Vor oder nach dem Lesen?! 😂
Hm, meine ich doch einen anderen Code?
Um es klar auszusprechen: Ich dachte in der Tat an "Ausschluss", wie es es einst mit vielen nervenden Ex-Witnesses getan haben und auch heute noch bei Wiederholungstätern von Spammerei bzw. Betrugsspam tun.
Und gerade der Spaminator/Steemcleaner hat ja seine "Abscheu" dem Steem gegenüber offen bekundet und zugegeben, dass er nur zum Melken und Stänkern hier ist. So traurig: Er macht hier dies, was er "drüben" bekämpft und hier einst (fast schon als Institution) mit sehr großer Unterstützung durch sehr hohe Delis bekämpft hat...

Ja, das denke ich auch, insbesondere nach diesem Kommentar von Moecki. Die Wirkung ist aber wohl ähnlich.

Pfui, war das widerlich!
Überhaupt alles, wie sie mit dem Käufer der Chain umgegangen sind, sobald er nur einen Satz geschrieben hat. An seiner Stelle hätte ich auch kein Wort mehr gesagt, sondern einfach mein Ding durchgezogen. Er war technisch vielleicht etwas unbedarft, aber was die Kohle angeht, von vornherein am längeren Hebel.
Schade nur, dass das Schweigen bis heute anhält... 😂

Ich lach mich weg. Diese ganzen selbsternannten Cleaner Spinner waren schon immer Schwachköpfe die meinten sie wären was Besonderes. Ihre tollen "Abuse-Reports" in den Himmel gevotet und ansonsten geflaggt was ihnen persönlich nicht in den Kram passt.

Ich habe doch gar nichts anderes behauptet, nur sachlich beschrieben, welche ewig Gestrigen sich gerade in viel zu viel Aufmerksamkeit drängen.
Und Fakt ist ja tatsächlich, dass sie damals viele Unterstützer hatten und mit relativ viel SP Dummbeutel spielen konnten.

Naja, bekämpft haben die gar nix, weil du Spam nicht, bzw schwer ausmerzen kannst. Ignorieren und gut ist. Lediglich der Part mit den Dummbeuteln und dem willkürlichen rumgeflagge, was den Trotteln nicht gepasst hat, hat geklappt. Man meint es wäre die dt. Regierung gewesen oder die Schwachmaten, die da in Brüssel rum sitzen. :D

steemcleaners, spaminators? I wonder who is doing what which seems the biggest question if it comes to this platform no one knows what to think, where to aks or what is good, wrong, acceptable.
So these two who are they? Part of the Steemit Team, part of the steam watch witch or some bored whales out of the past?
Would an account with the same name help?
Does upvoting help or how about a transfer?
I can't blame you for leaving since this is very demotivating (is it a stupid question to ask if the Steemit Team has an opinion since acts like these are not the first and there are many more being downvoted since years.
I hope this idea succeeds and if not let's see what more can be done (any weak spot?).

I am sorry to hear that. I am still not sure how the selection is done or why is someone selected for the down-votes.
I can see that this post has gained a lot of engagement with 300+ votes.
I mean, you have been on the network for 4 years now and still working with it. So, I believe you may decide at some point to withdraw some of what you have. But, still I am not sure why such a thing occurs.

For most of it, you can read my recent comment to wakeupkitty.
The reason spaminator and steemcleaners downvote me - He's upset because he was reward farming with scitech and I put an end to it. There'll be some good news about these 2 accounts coming soon - I just hope that the loser takes the time to visit me so that I can gloat 😆 Having said that, I could always visit him on Hive... but then he'd find one of my accounts and that would ruin my objectives there. It would probably be worth it though.
Yeah, I will go and check that. I am reading the comments to get a better understanding of the issue. Because, you never know when you might need this information.
Well, I don't know about visiting him on Hive. LOL.. You can do your thing, and hopefully everything gets back to order soon.

Before I joined, this was the order. Steemit's so much more peaceful now that they've created their own cesspool on Hive so we're actually very lucky that there are only a couple of these fools left!
This is something that I wasn't aware about.
You must've witnessed the fork to Hive then.? I thought, Steemit would be left with no users after that. But, apparently it did and there is a nice community over here.
I can't make a comparison between the two myself. All I can see is that there is an obvious advantage to Hive when it comes to DAPPs. That could be because, they're having more devs over there.
It is good news that this place is more peaceful now..
No users? What made you believe that?
I was not part of Steemit at that point. I was just reading the news. Because, the fork of Steem hit the news. I did not have much information about the platform too. So, I thought it would be something similar to ETHpow.

ah, okay, thanks for the reply. If it comes to the hardfork I doubt everyone on Steemit noticed it or even cared.
Anyone else that needs a rebalancing vote?

This is possibly the first time I’ve seen a comment of yours that didn’t receive a reply - so here’s a reply!
If you find a few free minutes, I’ve opened up the Steemit Quiz so that others can ask questions. we both know who the true quiz master is so please pop in and drop a question in 😊

My post was downvoted by @the-gorilla a while ago and that was my real post.
You can Read Why @steemcleaner and @spaminator Downvoting you.

In this post.
This post will give you even more information and a way to find out.
Thank you
@the-gorilla
@inspiracion
You downvoted my post too so you are wrong and got the reward so keep working hard to get support to support your work to downvote other people's posts.
Thanks for taking the lead on this. I've also been dealing with this person for a long time. @spaminator had been downvoting all my posts since day one, and now I'm in negative rep. Could you lend a hand?
https://steemit.com/steem-for-pakistan/@spaminator/sn3hlk
They've asked you to stop mentioning them so my 1st suggestion would be to "stop mentioning them". If somebody's downvoting everything that you do, then unless you want to piss them off, then why wave a flag that draws attention to yourself??
I know that they're massive dicks and it's great that they've created their own platform where massive dicks can rule, but even in this comment you've tagged them again, which is pretty stupid.

Okay, so basically, I just joined Steem, and posted my first thing about the atrocities of Israel in Palestine. Boom! This dude just came in and nuked it with a massive downvote.
Then, like, every single day after that, I'd post again, and he'd just crush it again with a 100% downvote. Seriously, every. time.
Finally, I got fed up and started calling him out, tagging his name and asking others for help. He then whined about me mentioning him and threatened to downvote me into oblivion, like, down to negative 10 rep.
Look, I'm willing to stop mentioning @spaminator if he just stops the downvotes and puts my rep back where it was before he started this whole thing (around 30).

Yeah, he's a massive cock. I know that, you know that, his boyfriend knows that and there's a decent chance that his subconscious knows it too.
He obviously won't do that.
From what I can see, he's too busy jerking off over my profile to have bothered downvoting you recently so why are you trying to antagonise him?
From what I can see, he hasn't downvoted you since his obsession with me began.
So my question to you is:
Why do you want him to downvote you?
0.00 SBD,
0.00 STEEM,

Oh no! No more downvote please. I'm really hoping he stops downvoting me. I just want him to fix the damage he did to my reputation.
I saw what you're doing, and you seem way more influential and powerful than @spaminator on this platform. Could you maybe ask him, or even push him, to put my reputation back to how it was? Thanks a ton.
