...For I have Flagged

As many of you may know, @berniesanders is a huge whale here is on Steemit who is the unofficial Steem and Steemit Savior and/or Hall Monitor. Bernie lets it be known when he thinks or feels that someone is abusing of the Steemit Social Network. There are a few concrete rules here on steemit such as no plagiarism of written content, art or images. There are other unspoken rules such as to not upvote yourself TOO much or your buddies. You should also refrain from begging for up votes or from spamming in comments. Most Steem users tend to follow the rules and it is usually the new users informally known as Steemit Minnows that tend to break some of these rules.

Bernie's problem is not with small time rule breakers who most likely don't know any better, although he will bring the wrath of God on you should your errors be egregious enough no matter minnow or whale. This super protective yet confrontational character of Bernie's has come at a cost to the berniesanders' account. Bernie's account was down voted by Bigger Whales ( no names but they could rhyme with Ted and Tan) than even Bernie, putting his highly rated reputation score deep into negative territory.

Reputation score here on Steemit lets the many users know which accounts are trying to abide by the network rules while those with downward sliding reputation scores typically indicate users not abiding by Steemit rules and ideology. Those that continue to abuse the Steemit network can end up with negative reputation scores which then can drastically affect visibility and ultimately network reward payouts. Unfortunately, bernie's protectionism can sometimes be misconstrued or simply just unapproved or unappreciated due to his sometimes confrontational and sometimes brutal actions or reactions to other Steemit users, thus resulting in his account being flagged deep into negative territory.

Yet, berniesanders has persisted, and continues to thrive all the while still protecting Steemit and the Steemit rewards for all of us the best way he knows how. His account recently climbed out of the negative mire into positive reputation numbers. Bernie hasn't done much to change his approach or tactics and he has definitely put the Steemit community on notice about some of the abuses taking place. Although his account reputation almost went back into negative territory after only a brief time in the positive due to a large whale feeling some type of way due to bernie calling out Steem developers and the lack of "developing." Bernie weathered this last barrage against his rep and he is now clearly heading back to one of the users with a Top Reputation score.

Welcome Back to the Positive Steemit Reputation score berniesanders!

Thanks for looking out for the community, and @haejin , Bernie's reputation score is climbing hard and fast, maybe it is time you think of others here on the Steemit platform as well. This would definitely help the Steemit Community as a whole, while also helping you haejin become endeared to the whole Steemit community. If you continue in your ways, the whole Steemit Community could eventually turn on you, not just bernie and his disciples.
