If I may ask @berniesanders , why in the world is he constantly harrassing you and flagging you !? Is this a tit for tat thing going on here , or is it just blatent downvoteing / flagging for no reason !? As there seems to be alot of that going on right now ! Thanks , and Steem On ! πŸ‘

The only explanation that I've been able to come up with is that he's an ignorant troll who doesn't really understand the concept of Steem and how cryptocurrencies and markets actually work. Other than that, I have no clue.

You can see his work on his other accounts @jillstein2016, @imarealboy777 and many others. He's a known spammer.

They flagged a few of my posts and i just muted them . Is it enough to get rid of them ? add me ! Yes ! Down vote all trolls please !

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ 

they don't have enough steem power to hurt you, so, muting them is just enough

So he is the reason for the "dumping meme". I got that comment and immediately went and put some buy orders on steem lol.

me too, I think that steem FUD meme is a great way to drive down the price of steem, and I welcome the cheap steem, it's GREAT

Yes, that's one of his shill accounts. Feel free to flag it at will.

I have been doing my best to avoid the pissing contest as much as possible and am just hoping it works itself out. I am a strong believer in free markets and individual rights. He has the right to be an idiot and you have the right to flag him into oblivion for it. Mud slinging just leaves everyone covered in mud imo. I do agree with you though, he added that meme on one of my posts and I have nothing to do with anything.

Just checked his account and he is also powering down, how ironic. I wanted to add that I am an avid conspiracy theorist and cannot help but wonder if you really are @matrixdweller and just trolling the whole network. :P

I will say that distribution of steem is jacked right now but that is no reason to be butthurt. There is always the option of doing something else with your life besides being negative and spreading negativity.

It's really not a pissing contest. He doesn't like me having a lot of steem, harasses me about it and I flag him. That's really all there is to it. Trolls deserve flags and I can understand your view of not wanting to get involved.

Add another to the list...
https://steemit.com/@the.masses/comments

@winstonwolfe, I understand that but now it is a spam account...

This is actually an account anyone can use. It was setup several months ago by - I think - @timcliff and is meant for anyone to sign into so they can post whatever they want. The private posting key is even shown in the user's page info.

I won't disagree with that.

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ 

Go ahead and nuke @the.masses account. If the spam doesn't stop, I'll shut it down.

I'm not going to waste my voting power on it. I'll leave you responsible for the spamming of Steemit, maybe that will encourage you to shut it down.

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ 

It looks like people are looking for a way to combat the comment spam from @the.masses account. IDK if they will be successful though.
https://steemit.com/spam/@the.masses/anybody-know-how-to-write-a-bot-to-delete-comments-by-this-account

I say just let it be, ignore it

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ 

I don't want to see it spamming either. I'll shut it down tonight as soon as I get home and have access to the private key.

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ 

account is @the.masses and it is very active right now

Wow! I have been following him but not too closely ! Thanks for the information and clarifying ! Its much apreciated to know now that hes a spammer and also has other accounts to watch out for . I will no longer be following , I truely hate spammers ! πŸ‘

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ 

Stopped following him a while ago because of all this. Matrix not Bernie haha.

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ 

That's not what "troll" or "spammer" means, though.

don't expect any AJ listeners to operate with reason/logic LOL this clown is a perfect example of how delusional they are,

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ (edited)

Good luck. I don't flag people if I dislike them. I will only flag for spam, plagiarism, or abuse on a case by case basis.

I am not the type that would ever blanket flag someone. If it came to that I'd just mute them.

Yet both you and @matrixdweller have a very different belief on how the flag should/should not be used than I do.

I don't believe you can fix anything by doing the same negative thing someone else does.

"You flag me, so I'm going to flag you"
"Oh yeah, well I'm going to get my friends to flag you too"
"Oh yeah, ditto"

Seems like a negative net result across the board.

That doesn't mean I endorse the blanket flagging of you either. I don't believe you should be flagged unless you are spamming, abusing, or doing plagiarism... and honestly I don't expect any of that from you.

Though if you do subjectively flag, it should not be surprising that people that disagree with my perspective start subjectively flagging you.

That was one of my concerns with subjectively flagging. It just results in wars.

EDIT: And those wars you may not be concerned with as long as you believe you have the biggest guns. This is also not a perspective I agree with. I don't believe bigger guns mean you should be able to bully anyone.

EDIT 2: You could campaign to get people that follow @matrixdweller to stop following him though. That might be effective???

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ 

I agree with this, especially EDIT 2!
And flagging guys like @matrixdweller is like playing silly games with problematic kids, @berniesanders, you don't want to get down on his level

It just results in wars.

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ 

Look @ you, New 'Do' and all! (:

I was raised that two wrongs don't make a right. So I agree with all of your points. Just getting more people to flag and escalating that seems silly. Ignore the trolls and they stop getting what they want which is a reaction. By even considering mobilizing a downvote army you're giving them what they want. You'll never out-spam the spammers so why bother with it?

Too much time up the sleeve.
I have better things to do
Time to do some cooking

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ (edited)

I'm with you! I saw it already to many times and I will also flag him! Like I said in a comment I don't to this because you are a whale, I'm doing it because this is the right choice. If someone chose to power down that's nobody else problem!
@matrixdweller must stop​ doing this! I'm tired seeing his comments every day that @bernisanders is powering down! He doesn't have something else to do?

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ (edited)

Three of my posts in the past week have been flagged by @asshole and @transisto as well, for no apparent reason. I believe these accounts have bot lists they use to flag.

Steemd.com is a great resource to pinpoint which accounts they're coming from.

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ (edited)

They all flagged mine as well and recently I see this weirdo more again @asshole I hope its enough to mute them

It's crazy that someone would purposely do this.

too many .....

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ 

I dont get it .. Why are you flagging me I have nothing to do with either of those accounts ? And matrixdweller is pissing me off too I've already been flagging his alt's every time they spam me..

Whats the deal @mammasitta ?

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ (edited)

sorryyyyy this was by mistake and I just corrected it ....so sorry
different member ....I meant to write @asshole Hope you forgive !!

lol no worries

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ (edited)

outsch lol !!! At least you got one more follower

its hard sometimes to write via phone ! All best !!

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ (edited)

Seems a bit to aggressive, the downvote bot army, when you can just ... NOT FOLLOW?

Blacklist are ... BS.

Thanks for your opinion.

What nonsense is this poster ? really !

Love the pic

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ 

I thought that I will never have to flag.
This is what I will do:
when guy posts a spam, I'll flag.
if the same guy posts something normal, I will not!
I always hoped that a @con-dom flag should be a flag of peace but now it is impossible

Blow up a Condom instead of flagging.

thank you but I am not God, I am just a piece of latex with smell of strawberry chewing gum :)

know you are, but are you 4KHQ?

No, I am just a piece of trash that spent 4 years in a wallet of a geek :(

Better than 7 years. TMI

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ 

Full HQ? ;)

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ 

I think that @sarasgrace is also his account. Few days ago I got this comment:

in the same time, my post was flagged by an asshole named @asshole and that makes me think that it is a same person

Thanks for pointing that one out. Will handle appropriately.

How about @ transisto, My post was flagged by him/her and I loss $1+, and my reputation go down from 66.7 too 66.5. So bad for me :(

i just upvoted a bunch of your posts...

Pretty cool, thanks a lot @stellabelle, I've followed you since a long time :)

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ 

@transisto has nothing to do with @matrixdweller

I've also had runs in with him. He is a noxious 4chan troll who has nothing positive to contribute to the community other than multiple alt accounts which he uses prop himself up. Like most of the pizzagaters of his ilk, steemit is much better without. Cancer...

troll are not good for the community ! let's flag

It ain't easy being on top bern. At least you have all that steem to keep you warm at night.

Is this the same ass-hat who's commenting on all my posts, about you?

Yes, same troll, different account.

Yeesh. Where would we be without the trolls? At least you get to have fun pummeling someone into the ground, and feel vindicated doing so :))

It really isn't fun, it's a waste of power that could be going towards positive voting by @curie.

True enough man. God knows my posts appreciate it. @curie has done the most to make me feel valued and welcome on this site. You guy's managed to get me really writing again, after a year in hiatus. You have my eternal gratitude for that.

Reached out to you via steemit.chat @berniesanders.

I wonder if he's a Trump supporting republican that just objects to your name.
(Disclaimer: Not all Trump supporters or republicans carry on poking their nose into matters that have nothing to do with them... erm well some don't.)

He's a muppet

Uh-Oh !!!!

NOTE: This was in response to a now deleted comment by @matrixdweller accusing @berniesanders of operating the above listed accounts.

If true, that would be serious psy-ops. It's kind of plausible because how are we to know, he could have created them to appear to be created by you. But I have to say that the post spamming seems to be more in line with your character.

Β―_(ツ)_/Β―

Either way though, anything posted by those accounts should be downvoted, I think you'd agree.

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ 

wow thanks

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ (edited)

I've seen a few comments and I wondered about it, so I went a little deeper and didn't find anything much.

But you, NOT @berniesanders. :D

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ 

This sort of complaining doesn't really add value to the site. If you have a problem with someone, just ignore them. Mute them and move on. I'm flagging it for hate speech/vote brigading.

Please don't post like this in the future.

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ (edited)

Good thing your flag is useless. Funny you didn't bother to address any of the spam or "hate speech" @matrixdweller posted, but, that's the way you Steemit inc. guys roll.

P.S. I'll post whatever I please.

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ 

P.S. I'll post whatever I please.

Of this I am certain. What I'd like is for you to join me in making this community better, not worse.

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ (edited)

People who spout nothing but negativity will not fare well when the site gains more advanced moderation features.

Were I you, I would be less condescending toward your only advocate inside the organization that runs the site on which you're posting.

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ (edited)

If anyone's using this site at that point...busy is coming.

Β  Β· Β 8 years agoΒ (edited)

I don't read every post on the site; I'm not a moderator. You were at the top of my feed, which is sorted by votes. I've asked the voters I know on this post to not upvote blanket vote-brigade requests (regardless of poster). Please focus your energies into being productive. I have no issue with you, but "I am upset and you should blanket downvote user $x" posts are garbage no matter who posts them.

this is awesome
