RE: Steemvoter News: Dust Settles and a Curation Guild is Born (Part 3 of 3)
I think you are being dishonest.
Steemvoter has been around a long time, and a week ago had never had a down vote. If people were really against this it would have had some down votes before. Other than a few "special" people who think their opinion is more valuable than the community because they signed up early, steemvoter seems loved by most. I often see messages of support in their posts, and again, before a week ago, I don't recall seeing one negative comment.
Yes they might not have made the best choices, but they seem to be trying their best to serve the community, unlike you (with this message and possible actions).
I don't have a problem with down voting, or saying your peace, but using down voting as a threat is just silly and destructive to a community. From what I can tell, the people who told steemvoter that they don't like what they are doing was received by steemvoter and they are trying to improve things. Personally, I think they should not change a thing (other than improving continuously for the community).
IMHO if you care about this community you will think about how destructive you are being/threatening to be towards it, and look at steemvoters history (before this past week) and see that the community has supported it.
I am using a non-account for this, because I don't want my SP to influence anyone.
UPDATE
The user above has edited their post since this writing.
You are incorrect. There is not a single sentence in my post that you replied to (before or after editing) that is not provably, verifiably objectively true.
You might be right. It might also be true that their recent abuses and behavior have caused many to rethink their stance. I bought all of my steem power, most of it for prices around what they are now. I don't think my opinion should count for any more or less than anyone elses. However, i don't think it should be dependent on anyone elses either. I am fine with being in the minority, if that is the case. What kind of person would I be if i changed my vote just to be on the winning side.
I is not my intention to use the downvote as a threat. He h as the right to post anything he wishes. I have the right to vote however I wish. Telling him in advance that i do not support a specific kind of post is not a threat, because my downvote does not cause harm. It will negatively effect payouts, but those payouts are supposed to be based on votes.
AN example of using a vote to threaten someone would be like when SV tried to stop people from downvoting him by threatening to retaliate with his SV users downvotes.
Hi @johnblow. We agree, we have received nothing but love until recently.
perhaps you should look at your recent actions and try to figure out why. Oh yeah i forgot its because the korean gangs are out to get you... nevermind.
You realise that many of the accounts used to upvote these posts have been abandoned by their original owners. Since steemvoter has their posting key there is no guarantee that some of those supportive comments aren't coming from the company.
