RE: Happy Birthday to Us...@pifc is 1 year old!
I've also found a plagiarist to feature... It's maddening for sure, but seriously, they make fools of all of us from time to time.
In the first two weeks I was participating, two of my featured bloggers got viciously attacked by whales! Thankfully, they've both come back from the dead, so to speak (the attacks were really that vicious) and are still blogging today - one is now a judge for this contest. :)
I've been on Steemit for a year and still don't get this kind of wars. Why would a whale attack such a small account?
Sometimes, people don't know who they're talking to and say something that offends the whale... most would just brush it off, but a couple of them will turn on you and pound you into the ground... I worked with both of these bloggers at the time, encouraging them foremost, but also trying to work out what they did to trigger the attack. Most of the time, if you ignore the whales, they ignore you, but not everyone can let things go like that... You can say what's right, but if they don't like it, they can chew you up.
It's possibly why they decided to remove flagging altogether over at Whaleshares, but that means there's little defense against plagiarists and other abusers... you win some, you lose some...
Thanks for making it more clear to me @viking-ventures!
