Is this just a malfunction or is it due to something more sinister?

in #witness5 years ago (edited)

I have noticed some strange behavior from the blockchain with regards to rewards. This is the story of one such event. There have been many more.

I would like to stress the point, that this is not about the loss of 0.something Steem. It is about protecting the integrity, viability and value of Steem and the Steemit platform as a whole.

The short story:
As you can verify for yourselves, @kiwiwsteem voted 100% for the post 18 seconds before @joe.public
I voted 100% for this post from my @joe.public account and was the second voter according to the screenshot.

The post ends up looking like this:

Now I am not that bright, but i would expect to receive curation rewards on both of my accounts however none were awarded.
From the @joe.public account

From the @kiwisteem account

These being plain and simple facts, they seem to beg the questions:

Have the rules changed regarding the timing of voting, such that you get NO curation reward for voting before a certain time?
Is this just a malfunction or is it due to something more sinister?

I do hope people with a lot more technical ability than myself look into these events as I am certain that I am not the only person these things are happening to.

Edit
Can anyone tell me if Post Promotion is really turned off please. If not I have 1 SBD if someone can help me out with promoting it.

Sort:  

Because they took all my up coming curation and author rewards away on my joe.public account and this one. Yea they can do that but its hard to take people seriously when they things like that!
They must have thought that i would not say anything about it in public about it but i did in a comment so then they just started fucking with some of the rewards.
I think we really need to have a democratically elected top 20 witness line up and out the criminal element.
What are your thoughts

There seems like there should be some dispute-resolution-mechanism to mitigate downvote abuse/bullying.

It would make sense that if you MUTE/BLOCK someone, they shouldn't be able to upvote or downvote or even view your content or comments at all.

That would be cool : )
If we could translate that idea into the real world we can do away with war and policing completely : )

I have read this post.
I would encourage you to contiue posting.
Balance is everything. I believe that your view has good points.
