RE: I am a victim of unwarranted downvotes from @spaminator and @mack-bot - Please Steemit community, how do I handle this?
@simplymike offers sound advice. What are the downvote %? This post has a downvote from mack-bot (I will not tag it) is at 0%. It doesn't actually affect you (as of now) I get a constant downvote from camillesteemer. It's a bogus account. I have never had any interaction with this 'person' to my knowledge. It's been 0% so I am not worried even though it is disheartening. This situation is why I am against HF21 and the downvote process. Most of these bots are run by whales to keep the pool in their favor. I foresee a huge range of abuse incoming. Until this can be controlled it's a recipe for disaster. And trying to reach most on discord they usually will yell at you for posting the channel that is label to post issues. I wish you luck. Would like to know how you prevail.
Thanks friend. The one from spaminator is done few hours to payment so that you dont have options thqn to lose out entirely. I suspect foul play. Why run those accounts under cover? Why not come out and say its from Steemcleaners. Anyway, i have answered the alleged offences of multiple account and plagirism. Am waiting for their response. A lot of things need to be addressed here. They are killing Steem and Steemit.
You're right, I think that's part of the reason Steem is volatile currently. I have seen many bloggers with well established blog come to Steemit and leave because of the plagiarism accusations. Criminals are not forthcoming, they hide and lie, even though being honest is the best way to fight anything you are the one treated like a criminal. Stay Strong. Just keep doing what you're doing. It is honestly the best defense. As long as they don't quiet you, you win.
camillesteemer is such an example of a pest here on steemit. The account used to be a part of a collective called Anonymous Steemit Victims Defence League, who was downvoting people, abusing their huge stakes. The community silenced them by taking away the delegations to the accounts. That's why they're powerless now. Which is a good thing. I've seen those accounts flag a newbie's second post ... that's not the first impression you want to make, right?!
I completely agree with you when you say HF21 is a recipe for disaster. I don't see this turn things for the better, unfortunately. But I guess all we can do is brace ourselves, close our eyes and hope for the best :0/
Nothing like diving into dark water huh? I've seen newbie accounts flagged too. We want people to stay not leave. I wish they would understand this. Keeping this activity up is what creates havoc with the prices. I was so happy to hear when their delegations were removed. It is the next best thing to removing them. If people used flagging or a downvote for what it actually is, things would be fine. Not too much happens that really relies on this process. If you don't agree with someone move on. Or have a discussion to understand. I just can't believe how petty some have become. We have money invested why would anyone want to tear that apart?
I don't get it either. I think in many cases, people are just high on power. Money and power... two of the most vicious drugs in the world.... :0(
