RE: PLEASE JOIN ME IN FLAGGING A SHIT POST & REWARD POOL ABUSER
Steem is still young. It's certainly chaotic, but there's enormous opportunity right now. There's a lot of excessively compensated content, but there's also a lot of more blatant abuse. My current strategy is to focus downvoting on the most clear cases of abuse and generously upvote legitimate content. The goal is to shift the culture of the network by attracting productive members and deterring the most destructive ones. We can't take on all the problems at once, but if we plant seeds for the right kind of community there will be increasing competition for rewards through high quality posting. Stay optimistic.
@pivi and @sianer: When you downvote my comments to try to reduce their visibility, I'm likely to counter with upvotes even when otherwise I wouldn't upvote them. The end result is likely to be both higher visibility and higher payouts for me than if you just left them alone.
Seems like a perfectly acceptable counter strategy to me.. I find it amusing how so many of the people that act like dicks, fail to see how their efforts are in most instances counterproductive. Much in the same way that when bernie started going after my posts with his bots and using rando to crush my posts, over the next few days my rep and post values actually went up to well in excess of what they would of been had he not attacked me. Nobody likes a dick... Thanks for bringing my post back to life.. your the man..
I agree with your strategy, and as I build this account I will be able to take a more proactive role in both promotion and demotion of content based upon its usefulness to the platform and community as a whole.
