Fair enough. I just had some questions about your reasoning.
Is your focus on those who “buy” sbi shares for others, otherwise known as buying them a vote? I’ve tried to catch up over comments and posts, but it’s a lot of dis fragmented information. You recently removed a witness vote for the c-squared curation group, and I was told it was for voting the open letter video about the downvoting.. made me curious what was going on so came to look.. and well, it left me with more questions.
It seems every time you try to speak, individuals respond in ways that make it hard to have a conversation, so I thought I would see if you were on any chat apps, but am ok with public comments too and respect that actually quite a bit.
Anywho, comment if you like.. or find me on Steem.chat @justineh
Have a good day.

Do you manually downvote based on the vote amount they received or just full throttle?
I won’t argue with you about c-squared supporting “oldsteem” as we were “newsteem” from the day we were formed.. didn’t even need a hardfork to make us act in the best interest of the platform. If you knew anything about the project, that would be abundantly clear. But quite frankly you can vote for whatever witnesses you want, I won’t argue with that part and we don’t really campaign for votes anyways - I was just curious your reasoning.
I don’t disagree with downvoting those buying votes, no matter what they call it, I would say that downvoting a post that received a 7cent vote for something over and above 7cents seems quite harsh though. Most of these votes are done away by the curve anyways.
Anyways, thanks for the explanation.. I was just curious your reasoning. I appreciate you taking the time to explain it.

I am one of the co founders, yes.
We won’t be removing any votes unless the content is plagiarism, etc.
C-squared is a crowd sourced community curation group. Content is brought in by the community and reviewed by other community curators with a “voter” role. Admin oversees and doubles checks all votes for plagiarism, spam or abuse. It requires at least two sets of eyes to deem it worthy of additional support in this case. The project did nothing wrong in voting said content in my opinion, whether I “agree” with the content or not.. the community found value in it, so it received support.
You say it’s a controversial vote, how so? Was the post abusive, spam or plagiarism? Was the vote not cast after manual review? Or do you say so just because content you did not agree with?
I appreciate you supporting manual curation, and actually somewhat agree with your overall goal here to stop vote buying, whether I agree with your tact or not.. but I won’t be removing votes, as there is nothing wrong with the content and we don’t do trades for witness votes, heck we don’t even campaign to get votes. That’s just not how we do things.
We manually curate, that’s it.. and our numbers and track record speaks for itself.
If you want to support that, awesome.. if you don’t, we understand that too.
But no deals will be made.

I can understand as it was a personal letter to you. I wasn’t the one who voted it, but did read it.. to me it read as more a personal plea for you to reconsider your actions. I did not see any “attacks” honestly. I don’t think it was done in the most constructive way, but hey we are all emotional humans beings and sometimes we don’t communicate in the most constructive ways.
As an outsider here I’ll say I think your mission is good, but seems a bit miscalculated. Perhaps a discussion with some cool heads about the sbi project would be a good start to ensuring your concerns are heard, as I think most here are onboard with “newsteem” and want to see improvements.
Didn’t mean to butt in this much to be honest, I was just curious of your reasoning.. but those are my thoughts anyways.
