You got flagged in part because you're too narrow minded to understand that enforcing Grumpy-Compliance is not my sole purpose in life.

I find you very insulting and dumb overall.

I find you abusive, annoying and intolerable. Your actions deserve no respect. What did you expect, some loving thanks for flagging me and others? Dream on. Your purpose in life? I wonder what that it is. The system is designed with 6.5 days for upvotes, your Grumpy-Compliance is nonsense and arbitrary. If you want to change things, make a PR and hope they approve it, or find something better to do with your purpose. Public opinion is growing against you.

I made a post the other day that semi-jokingly points out what is wrong with GC (probably in real life to some degree as well no doubt).

I've come to the conclusion that the Grumpy-compliance nonsense is a classic bullying tactic that is being played, where they set up some crazy rule of their own making that obviously won't be followed because the rule is asinine and short-sighted, and then when said rule is broken the bully starts randomly going after innocent bystanders as some kind of justice. Even more bizarre, they believe collateral damage is justified because their ends justify any means of getting there.

The behavior of @grumpycat is a classic blend of personality disorders, and I'm kind of amazed it's been allowed to go on for so long by the whales on Steem... but on the other hand I'm not surprised really, it would be like watching a rabid cat attacking an anthill in real life; as long as the rabid cat is not bothering the whales, they could care less. @grumpycat is probably the worst offender of self upvoting their garbage posts and spam comments I've seen, which makes the whole grumpy-compliance nonsense even more hilarious and sad. The inability to see oneself from the perspective of other people is a trait shared by people with extreme personality disorders.

Just imagine someone behaving like GC in real life. I've witnessed it first hand and I will tell you it's a pathetic display of self-preservation when they get exposed and taken out (If you've even watched the original "The Dead Zone" movie where christopher walken goes to shoot Martin Sheen's Machiavellian character, and Martin Sheen grabs someones baby and holds it out in front of themselves as a shield; this is how people like @grumpycat behave in real life when they are exposed and attacked - they drag in the innocent bystanders and hold them hostage).

How about changing the flag to a downvote? And some literature to help normalise downvotes. There needs to be a culture acceptance of downvotes alongside upvotes. A community that cannot accept a negative opinion is borderline insane.

Of course, I look forward to incentivizing downvotes. I pledge all of my SP to downvoting abuse and conspiracy bullshit were it incentivized.

Flagging isn’t downvoting.

Flagging alters reputation and should only be used in the case of abuse: spreading lies, self-voting rings, hate speech, willful oppression of minorities, spamming, materially duplicate mass comments, et c. It’s not “I don’t like this”.

liberosist (70) · 7 years ago

Upvoting alters reputation as well. You may rationalize it any way you wish, but the downvote/flag has the opposite effect of the upvote. The only difference, of course, is one does not earn curation rewards. (Which you yourself have admitted is a bug - and I applaud you for it!)

I'd personally refuse to be part of any community where people are discouraged to express a negative opinion in voting. Thus far, I have only used downvotes for the reasons you have mentioned above (all of which is rampant on Steem, as you know), and it bothers me greatly. I would want to downvote stuff I don't like - just like I have on Reddit for a decade.

@liberosist - Since you and sneak have both chosen to downvote my post about bill gates that mentions vaccine science, you are welcome - as is sneak - to explain exactly what it is about that post that violates the 'authorised' reasons to flag. As far as I can see from Sneak's list here, the only possible option is that you think the post contains lies - but as you have not commented on what exactly those lies are, we are left with thinking that you are acting out of personal bias. Sneak has failed to respond to my request for an explanation that includes evidence to back up his position and has instead resorted to judgemental and childish ad hominem attack. We are waiting.

This is social platform isn't it? The topic of a post is personal, if I want to write about my little hamster, my feuds, or the meal I ate today, that's my prerogative. Some people may like it, others won't. If you don't feel concerned, that's fine, there are plenty of other topics that may interest you: art, cryptos, fiction, nsfw, etc...

Complaining about problems is normal and should be taken into consideration by whoever is concerned. And when you see repeating complaints, that's a big signal that something is wrong! Instead of bitching about it, those complaints should be tackled with solutions instead of letting them linger forever. If no solutions are in view, you're guaranteed to have reactions from the users until something is done. Sadly, many of the STEEM mechanics are broken, there's no denying of that. We try to cope with what we've got until Steemit decides to fix (or keep ignoring) things.

With EOS planning its own community module and a very lagging Hive and SMT + this kind of weird issues is the last thing the platform needs. If the SP is instead used in article spinners, spammers etc who is filling the blockchain with junk and creating issues to the long term stability as well as DMCA issues and what not, this could have been logical.

I am seeing the possibility of the entire blockchain going down like "Kim dotcom's" companies under DMCA. If for the junk and stolen content on the blockchain which is stored by the witnesses, if DMCA goes after individual witnesses, we will see the end of steemit and STEEM ! And here we are fooling around!!!!

The main problem is the lack of a clear and specific constitution. Society needs to function under rules. The problem is the rulers.

But implementation should become a serious hell. IMO it all comes down to: Constitution + Oracles

How does the law deal with a decentralized blockchain full of pilfered IP?

The Law hasn't started noticing yet IMHO. Now, the word decentralized should be taken with a pinch of salt. Lets compare with a P2P file sharing system like bittorrent and STEEM is not that decentralized. The blockchain lives on some 400 witness servers which is nothing compared to say the pirated copies of a popular movie. I am not mentioning about cats or dogs or any of the arguments like the monetary distribution. From a technical stand point, ~400 servers is in no way a decentralized system. A lot of the witness servers are hosted by couple of providers and the whole thing is super easy for 'law'. But the good thing or bad thing about STEEM for now is may be some 10% of the content is copyright violated and thats too small compared to the piracy elsewhere.

$0.94

digitalfirehose (58) · 7 years ago

With regard to decentralization, I've also seen a number of posts made to the Interplanetary File system (IPFS). I don't know how much of that violates copyrights, but from what I can see from the white paper on the subject, IPFS is highly resistant to censorship and it is decentralized.

Have you considered IPFS as decentralized storage system as a source for content linked to on Steemit? I'm not even sure if I have phrased the question right...But I hope you understand what it is that I'm asking.

bobinson (63) · 7 years ago

you know what, I actually wanted to add IPFS to my original comment. But I wanted to make it simpler as people generally tell me that I make things complicated by adding too many things :-D

IPFS is highly resistant to censorship and it is decentralized.

Yes, IPFS is & has proven that their claims are true.

Further, IPFS has a mechanism to deliver blockchains over the IPFS network in a transparent way. I haven't tested it and haven't understood it enough. So I can't make any more comments. But I am doubtful how fast it will be for something like Graphene blockchain (Bitshraes, STEEM, GOLOS, EOS).

Have you considered IPFS as decentralized storage system as a source for content linked to on Steemit?

Yes and DTube is already doing it. Suprisignly steemit.com is storing its images on a centralized Amazon S3 storage.

So DTube is essentially like PirateBay with plagiarised content indexes and the content itself is stored elsewhere on IPFS. But the posts and the metadata pointing to the source of the IPFS URLs are on the STEEM blockchain. So you take down STEEM blockchain, the IPFS URLS will loose the pointers to them and they will become dangling with no way to easily access them apart from using the IPFS interface. Yes, even keeping a list of URLs and titles in a text file can act just like DTube and save the content even in the event of DMCA take down or similar of STEEM blockchain.

If you are interested in IPFS, I have pointed out few use cases below:
PS: I had written this before realizing Filecoin is the coin for IPFS.

$0.07

digitalfirehose (58) · 7 years ago

I have to admit that I like the concept of hosting files for Filecoin. Talk about proof of stake, and it doesn't require that much energy compared to proof of work.

I also recall watching Dan Larimer give a talk about using EOS for storage, too. I was really impressed with his concept of a virtual datacenter based on blockchain technology.

I like your analogy about DTube and PirateBay. Decentralized, next to impossible to take down and censor.

As to the embrace of this new technology by the law, I have a fair amount of confidence that the succeeding generations will eventually refuse to carry on the old way of copyrights and patents. I hope that the millennials remember their experience with Napster and proceed to relax copyright law to allow for content to flourish in the digital age.

Thanks for a nice, fairly off-topic correspondence. :)

So we can all post whatever crap we want no consequences to it. So along with the no down votes then how would the NSFW images be taken care of that ignore that rule, or all the blatant hate speech, or threats of violence. No the down vote needs to stay, and whether people like @berniesanders or @grumpycat, or we will see what @madpuppy does, they are needed. With whales and some witnesses and other large account holders becoming so called "victims" they want to do something now? I am sorry, but their attempts are plainly pitiful. If the large account holders, and the witnesses were so damned concerned about this they would have aided @berniesanders against that haejin person and his benefactor. So before making a statement about the "MAJOR design flaw in Steem" and saying it needs to be removed give your real reason for it's removal, give a solution to what you perceive as a problem, or try to do something about it.

@drakos, @grumpycat,@berniesanders, and a few others are at least trying to do something about what they perceive as the problem. What are you doing about the problem. I can tell you what I am doing about it. I actually think that both sides are doing what they think is best, I think that if steem inc, or the owners of steemit felt that something needed to be done they would. I think that on April 15th everyone, every single individual should make a @grumpycat post and then make nine or twenty or 100 comments to their own post and give themselves 100% upvotes. Break the bank on American Tax day deadline. Then, maybe steemit owners will see that, "uhh captain we have a problem".

I understand why certain people are against bidbots. But the question is who should you punish in such a case. It is similar to the prostitution argument. If you are against prostitution, the question is who is acting immoral, the prostitute, the John, or both?

Now prostitution is a difficult topic, but I think bidbots are not. Just ask who is making the profit. The ones buying their upvotes dont really make any money, they are just seeking some legit advertisement and the steem system for that is simply not working. The bidbot owner on the other hand is accepting money to judge content, which is fundamentally opposed to the idea of steem.

It is an illusion to think that you could downvote the users so much that they will stop using the bidbot, as most are actually unaware that this happens. So instead of targeting the users we should think how to target the operators instead.

Anyway, sorry for your hard day @drakos, but you could still turn mine around. 😎

It's so shitty when people get their kicks out of making other people miserable. Not sure on the history of you and grumpycat but it appears that the beef is strong. The anonymity and interacting through a keyboard changes a lot of how we connect with others. We do and say a lot of things we wouldnt dare do in real life, much fewer consequences and with little fear of repercussion, people become warriors. Hope you get this sorted out peacefully

I am totally against flag wars, it seems to me something so childish and envious, plus I follow you and you are someone you trust, I don't know why the demon cat gives you so many flags. by the way, I'd like to tell you a project, if you're willing to tell me, to send it to you by memo.

Seriously, if that jerk keeps flagging me, I might stop blogging altogether. If whales are allowing this abuser to flag legit posts so he can upvote his own shitty comments to rape rewards himself, I don't know what motivation that leave to us.

Nobody is Allowing this, this is entirely up to one person and only they can do anything about it. If you base your success on what one person does you definetly invested in the wrong platform.

anarcho-andrei (64) · 7 years ago

Whales can devastate an abusive user. While they are certainly not required to, their reputation should be worth enough to them that they might be inclined to act. Either way, if they want people to keep striving here, it's in their best interest to take action against assholes like this. As for your success comment, if you have someone consistently destroying your post payout--a payout that supports a large number of projects and people--where is the incentive?

$0.00

baah (61) · 7 years ago

Somewhere else, somewhere that guarantees a payout, or align your incentives in such a way that it guarantees payout here (donation/subscription) and especially in not allowing one person to dictate how and why you should post.

Hello, I am new to this site. When you say some one “flagged you” does that cost them steemit points to submit the flag ? And what does a flag do to your account status? Sorry to go off topic, but I am the FNG trying to learn from the veterans .

A flag, or downvote, is the opposite of an upvote. Instead of rewarding the author, it removes part of the reward depending on the voter's Steem Power and Voting Power. Check the FAQ, the Voting and Curating section.

My point was, we thought you were powering down to leave after serving your 'purpose'. But you're shifting from grumpycat to madpuppy... perhaps you need to share your thoughts about that? Then you resume upvoting your comments excessively. Flagging doesn't earn you rewards, but self-upvotes does. Anything else you want to know?

Sure, delegate me some of your super power and I'll be more than happy to embark on your crusade. I have fought abuse before (you obviously don't know about that). I do support fighting abuse, spam and scams, but I don't agree with your methods.

My stake is small, I don't run any voting automation (except being part of the recent resistance bot made exclusively for you), I curate manually. So I prefer to support those who write quality instead of wasting my time hunting shit posters. I would do it if I had a better delegation.

Same troubke with Bernie Sanders and his troop of bots. I'm starting to see steemit as a failed experiment. I highlighted my concerns at steemFEST and was laughed at by core developers. I get the feeling Ned supports the status quo. I started powering down on return from Portugal.

vimukthi (72) · 7 years ago

Good wisdom. Bad timing. You should have waited for SMTs. I really think STEEM has some major problems. It was just make as you go bootstrapped platform. I've repeatedly said that we are 4 years behind BTC. STEEM has a lot more to grow. $40 is a pretty obvious point for me. You really shouldn't have powered down.

BTC is a relic piece of garbage. Still it has the highest marketshare. Markets can stay irrational for long periods of time. YOYOW, ALIS, TRON are still not really doing much yet.
