I'm here to cleanup this place!

I'm so sick of seeing crap all over Steemit and not having anybody do anything about it. Seriously, work together to remove some of this shit! This includes spam, abuse, plagiarism, hate.. or just plain ole shit. Including these folks that think that the rewards pool is somehow gonna deplete itself and so they're running around trying to scare the community with their conspiracy theories! The rewards pool is just fine folks.. get a grip. A little logic and research on the rewards pool would teach ya that ain't gonna happen.

Now, back to the matter at hand. I'm here to make sure no user on the Steem blockchain feels abused or spammed. That's my biggest concern. If you've been abused or your post has been spammed please let us know so that we can help!

Upvote me and get an upvote back. I love support!

You are now systematically downvoting every post that @tranparencybot creates. Just so you know, I will simply upvote each of these posts in an equal and greater measure.

It would appear that you have targeted @transparencybot and have a personal vendette against me. That is your choice (for a little while longer), but it will of course be the community's choice to disagree with your methods, which at this point; is truly one of the most distasteful displays of "power" I have yet to see on this platform.

As you burn your funds downvoting, I get to upvote the same post and donate my funds to a worthy cause.

You're an imposter and act like more of an asshole than I do. Give up now, you're not needed here.

Dude, @iflagshit, if you claim to be fighting spam, then why have you just downvoted my post becasue i reported some comment spammer to @abusereports? Remove your flag. There is no reason for it. Plus that is many hours work, and quality.

I am sure if you read it, even you will appreciate.

@iflagshit is on the @abusereports blacklist for being a bad Steemian! Bad spammer, bad!

You are not making sense. You flagged my comment and I was not supportive of @abusereports actions. In one sense you are correct but I believe in another you are going about it wrongly. You can't fight spam with spam. can you? It may be better to engage in a conversation and attempt to bring change differently. Just my suggestion.

@iflagshit, If you are fighting spam, you are my friend. And i will upvote you any time becasue i belive you are good for steemit. If @abusereports is fighting spam, they are my friends, and i will upvote them anytime, because they are good for steemit.

On that note. I will leave it to your own better judgment on what course to follow regarding my post which you have downvoted without reason.

Removing my vote would mean that i am anti-spam accounts. And i cannot do that. If any thing, it would equally mean that i stop reporting abuse/spam to @steemcleaners which i frequently do.

It would also mean that i stop upvoting bots like @cheetah which i find useful in filtering out plagiarized content. Again i cannot, and will not do that.

It is up to you to decide what you will do with your downvote on my blog. But i am of the humble opinion, that ou remove it, as it has no rational explanation.

Thanks

@iflagshit has a point to make.. there should be no monopoly on what is and what is not spam. transparencybot may be doing something that appears neutral, but consider this: what is actionable and what is not about what he reveals, remains in the hands of a few. The issue is quite complex. The answers are not simple.

Having said all that - I was commenting to oppose what badcontent was doing last week, and i got punished with a flag on one of my unrelated posts.. why? because a large witness felt it is his right to abuse the flag feature. Take a look here

Do you think that is right? I disagree with a bot which may be making mistakes and harming people unfairly, then I am punished with a flag on unrelated and fairly good post? It is out of hand.

We must fight spam yes.. But I firmly oppose fighting abuse with abusive methods. An intelligent soluton shold be found.

I don't agree with spam buti also don't agree with saying someone is guilty of spam just because he bought a vote or upvoted himself at the very last minute.

Why nt make the payout 3.5 days after the 7th day? And why not have a transparent democratic process to screen for spam in that 3.5 days after 7th day? Surely we are more intelligent than going around poking each other haphazardly.

You argument here is way too new for me. I have only been sucked into this whole thing because i happened to report a comment spammer, and upvote @abusereports, which, in the spirit of discouraging spam, seems the only sensible thing to do.

You are absolutely correct in doing what you did and I think no one should punish you for having done that.

Punishing in that way is a unilateral action without taking into account anything, least of all fairness, the facts or your rights. The same way people are being hit by some accounts for using a certain bid bot. The broader arguments are not even sound enough to ban vote after 3.5 days but people are letting one party punish people for making a perfectly permissable choice. All in the name of anti-spam war. It is just wrong. The system is flawed - it needs work. Riding rough-shod over people is not the way to proceed.

Flagged for being a troll and a rude obnoxious weed. Your use of a flag on my post (and i suspect many others besides) was unwarranted BS. Cheers.

I don't normally condone flag-for-flag, but this guy was way out of line downvoting you. If you ever have any trouble like that again, talk to @freezepeach.

Thanks for the tip, appreciated.

Now this is spam. Not what @transparencybot does. WTF does anyone care that you gave these stupid "awards". This is 100x more spammy.

100% agreed. And you don't see a coordinated campaign to downvote this kind of spam posting. Hmmm what possible reason could there be for that? Might it have anything to do with the almighty $$$?

Selfishness ruins everything, and it will ruin steemit if "those who are good do nothing".

Alright!

Ironically, the first post of mine that this guy flagged was about a spam ring with over 7000 accounts that has already taken about $22,000 - which is itself a repeat of an operation that reportedly made off with $80,000. It also distracted me from investigating a series of accounts who are earning $10 in bidbot votes on each of hundreds of one-word comments on old posts.

I guess I need to be more careful in choosing my battles - publicly at least.

Lets just hope that people don't start flagging the @sadkitten bot that has been set up to counter excessive self-upvoting.

You were on @smartsteem's blacklist for a reason. You are basically bribing people for upvotes but your posts have little substance.

It's the same damn thing over and over again. How about posting something with quality instead of using gimmicks? The only reason you are making it is you are hyping the posts up with bots and then luring people in with the expectation for upvotes. It's not anything special. You are essentially upvote farming.

Do you really want to stop the abuse? Please, show us with more than your words. Here's a bid bot abuse profile.

I've downvoted them. Will you?

junk post with pending payouts.

The work is inside the posts. Ate 6-8hrs/day easy and at least I am giving out couple hundred $ per month to the minnows. The only reason that I have in Smartsteem's blacklist because I have posted more than 6 posts per day. If you do not like what I am doing, it is just fine, someone else will do. Everyone has their own thinking.

Time will tell whether @transparencybot's intentions are pure. He appears to be willing to take suggestions and act on them.

You appear to have good intentions, but if many of us think that @transparencybot is a good thing, who are you to attack him/her? Before you go on a flagging spree, why not participate in a consensus about what the problem is and how best to solve it? @transparencybot is not flagging anyone. Your approach would harm people much more, especially if you are not as smart as you think you are about deciding who and what is good for the platform and who and what is harmful.

I'm a newbie here. But I'm an economist and so have some applicable expertise. Maybe you are right. Maybe @transparencybot is right. Who am I to decide?

But that's my point. Who am I to decide? Who are YOU to decide? Flagging is censorship. Flagging silences people. What @transparencybot is doing does not silence anyone. It just embarrasses them. Rightly, IMO.

I want the information that @transparencybot provides. Who are you to prevent me from receiving that information?

Before you go off on your vigilante crusade and perhaps ignite a flag war that silences lots of people, please consider very carefully what your actions will likely cause other people to do in response. Will those scenarios be good for the platform?

I think that you are just jealous that @transparencybot is getting lots of attention right now. Let him/her have a day in the spotlight. If you want to be a superhero here, find a way that does not silence anyone.

We can use all of the true superheroes that we can get. But if your heart isn't pure, if your actions are driven by ego rather than sincere consideration of others, you will disgrace yourself and in the process harm many people.

I am an economist trained in the Ph.D. program in economics at the University of Chicago. (I am a "Ph.D. Lite".) My fields of expertise, for which I was examined and passed, were business finance, money and banking, and international economics. I also happened to do my dissertation research in mathematical economics on the problem of what determines the price of capital assets like fiat money and cryptocurrency. Not only am I an expert in relevant fields, but I happen to be one of only perhaps 100 economists alive who has done original research using overlapping generations models to understand what determines the volatility and path of the price of such assets.

I am also an expert activist who has spent eight years of my life fighting censorship and "political correctness" here in California. I am an expert in the law of the First Amendment. I am thoroughly conversant on the authorities and rationale for the current treatment of hate speech in the United States, which is that it is fully protected.

I am also 63 years old and have been a fighter all of my life, having had to learn how to deal with BULLIES LIKE YOU.

So, you're just the hit man. You're not a vigilante; you're the hit man hired by a group of whales. I get that. Thank you for showing up. You're the best thing to happen both to @transparencybot and to the idea of a consensus PENAL CODE for this platform. You have singlehandedly given the PENAL CODE idea traction.

Bring it on, motherfucker. It's going to be war. The minnows and plankton like me, against the whales like you. The funny thing is, we minnows don't have anything to lose. Not so, you. If you win the war and destroy us, well, what the fuck do we care, because with you guys running things the platform is fucked anyway. And we will have our revenge, because by destroying the platform you will destroy your stakes!

Why exactly is this not OK? Who does it harm, and how? And who appointed you to be censor?

  ·  7 years ago Reveal Comment

Who does it harm, and how? The only people that @transparencybot harms are the whales who know that the platform is doomed and want to "make hay while the sun shines" by renting out their voting power, totally destroying the "proof of brain" curation concept that is the heart of STEEM value.

You are attacking @transparencybot because it will SAVE the platform and prevent you from raping the rewards pool and bailing just before the collapse.

You are not the friend of the minnow. You are our enemy!
