RE: #project-smackdown week 4 report - last report on v1 algorithm
I have seen members come on my newbie post that voted for themselves and that was it or voted themselves real steem and then gave me a vote that didn't show. I would just mumble, "douchebag" and move on. Then I started seeing bigger douchebags and started to get steemie under the collar. Now I keep finding all these OUTSTANDING Steemers fighting the good fight.
THANK YOU!!!
By the way, since you are looking at votes, I have a douchebag who down votes Newbies for the fun of it. I found this as my reputation seemed to drop for no reason. His name is @transisto
Funny you should mention @transisto, they are actually the person bankrolling this operation, and that of @sadkitten. What newbies were they down voting, do you have specific examples? And why do you presume it was for fun?
Without a specific example I can't know for sure, but it might have been some of the spam accounts that we've been looking at in the @sadkitten project. They are technically newbies / minnows, but really just part of a bot net.
I did not go into the accounts to look as my search was to see if it was only me or others as well. I do see problems and do very much appreciate this kind of policing. I just feel a little more time and effort should be placed before actions are taken. Otherwise it can make you look like just any other bully. I have received bullying from independent accounts and deceit from so called helpful accounts. I appreciate the enthusiasm in helping as a newbie but apparently some of these actions are made in haste.
I'm confident that @transisto is not a bully and down votes because of reasons which are well considered. I would not jump to the conclusion that it is for fun or they are targeting newbies specifically.
As you can see I am interacting with transisto in regards to this matter. I did respond to him in my story that he down voted me in and did not receive a response. I think it is because of different timezones. I am hopeful transisto will reverse the down vote, as I was not acting in a malice manor.
I went here https://steemd.com/@transisto and found he was doing it all last night, to many newbies
What post are you talking about ?
By the way, I would like to thank you for your inquiry and not just blowing me off in the assumption that I did something wrong. I hope you reevaluate your choice to down vote me.
I will get the post of mind and share it here, but I would like to know why you down vote newbies for posting tags.
From your comment, it appears as though you down voted me for tagging.

When I went to your account it looks like you spent the evening looking for newbies to down vote. Why would newbies be your target. My first 2 tags were introduce yourself and introduce myself. I clearly was introducing myself to steem and was a total newbie.
