RE: Steemit Etiquette 101: There is a Right Way to Gain Followers and Numerous Ways To Lose Followers
Before I say anything I wanted to let you know I am not officially affiliated with the Steemit core team, i am with a project for Steemit users called Steemit Blogger Central but that is a side project within the community but not actually affiliated with the Steemit development itself.
With that said, I looked at your post and agree that is not really spam at all, I am not sure why they flagged you but there is an appeals process with @steemcleaners ....maybe its a mistake or maybe they felt something is wrong with the post, unsure how they go about deeming spam or not. I do know you can appeal with them about these kind of issues here: https://steemit.chat/channel/steemitabuse-appeals
I am kind of 50/50 on the way some of these Steemit policing systems work. In some ways its important because it flags abuse but on other ways I am concerned they will turn this into a huge drama fest like other social media is getting with censorship. I was just informed steemcleaners is now giving out tips for people running around reporting abuse and I kind of looked over the reports they are getting and it looks like people have gone nuts pointing fingers all over the place for money, that could cause issues but hopefully steemcleaners is doing their job on a fair level. I say appeal it and find out why they flagged you on that one.
@sflaherty Ok, thank you for the clarification. You are obviously very knowledgeable and helpful within the community. So, thank you very much for your help. I will go ahead and take a look at that appeals channel. Aside from that, and I will go look through FAQ and guide or what not to try and seek an answer, but perhaps you may be able to help me out with this too...
I had some steem dollars. I was looking for the quickest and easiest way to convert my steem dollars to steem so then I can Power Up. I went ahead and selected the Option "Convert to Steem" so my conversions that were pending appeared in the order that I converted them. (I saw the notice saying that the process will take 3.5 days) so for like a day or maybe two my steem dollars appeared pending, however they are not there anymore, nor do I see the increase of my Steem balance. Did I just lose my steem dollars, or does it just take a few days for it to appear in steem balance. The reason i'm kinda afraid now that I lost my steem dollars is because, the little notice also said that I am risking and there is not guarantee on that amount of steem that will result from the conversion. Thanks again!
