This is great to hear and to see that it has been fixed. This chain is here to stay i believe so as many people have already falling in love with this majorly the sport lovers.
I will be applying for the grant airdrop distribution and i hope i am picked

That’s a great update! I was a bit worried about the future of this project, but the actions you will be taking has given me a lot of hope. It echoes a lot of my suggestions in my previous post. I hope there will also be some moderation on Actifit posts filling up the trending page in the future. Thanks again for your dedication to the project.

It's great to see you have come up with a solution to cut out the abusers and relaunch the project properly. I hope to get an airdrop as I am a big believer in this project and can see it adding a lot to the STEEM eco-system.

It's a shame that some people saw an epportunity to exploit the new system for their own gain but hopefully you can learn from this and keep moving forward. There will always be people out there to try and exploit what is being built so it needs to be built solidly.

I would also suggest a group of moderators with access to stake or delegation so that they can help with the moderation. Pushing good content to the top and downvoting irrelevant posts to prevent them using the site. If the site gains traction it's going to be a lot more than a one man job to keep the house in order. Palnet.io have a huge team with a lot of experience to build their site and community and they seem to be a good model to work from.

I'm glad you didn't start over, it's been fun and I like the new feel to this interface for sports fans! Keep up the good work, we appreciate all you have done.

i downvoted one from the trending page but now i feel bad because i downvoted his STEEM and PAL rewards also. This stuff gets confusing. lol

For now i will reverse my downvote

Yes it does get a bit confusing with so much interconnected.

So, sometimes it feels better to stake different tokens in different accounts.

I'm impressed with the creative way handled this issue, Well played! Fortunate too coz I feel this project could be revolutionary, and I sure am glad I stumbled on it's introduction post and became one of the day ones.

That sounds good!!

We should have list of offenders maybe so we know who to mute.

Thank you Patrick for saving it, you did handle this beautifully and with care! Like a true sportsman! This community will thrive, that's for sure! I just bought another 100 tokens, overpriced, but I don't care, just to show my commitment!

On the other hand, @patrickulrich, with another airdrop coming up. I will not use these tokens, as I have an unfair advantage over the rest. I'll keep, but I will unstake them.

So should i buy more or not? The ones i have bought what they worth? Whats my vote worth if anything lol im confused as f@#$

I would wait if I were you until this grant has happened, so you don’t buy at the wrong price!

Bit late now bought a fair bit lol typical crypto lol we forgot to put a decimal payout whoops someone hacked us whoops you bought tokens might be pointless whoops. Welcome to the whoops network

It is so bad that a few folks gamed the system and they are the whales now!!!

By enabling account muting we will be able to mute users who attacked the chain from the @sportstalksocial account. When they are muted they will no longer have any influence on the SPORTS token distribution regardless of the number of SPORTS POWER they may have.

This is a good move and I have some comments below where people have been downvoting the said accounts!!

I am sure these folks who gamed the system read this updates of yours and I have an idea.
How about we ask them to return all or 75% of the token they recieved and the community will welcome them!!

The problem with downvoting is that by downvoting a post on Sportstalk social UI, all the connected accounts will be affected!!! His/her Pal and Steem will be affected by the downvote!!

It is better for them to return the Sports and have a good time with the community!!!

If they don not then the mute function and downvotes will be on them until they leave Steem!!

Thanks for your hard work.
I just got to know Sports Talk yesterday, which is great.
I guess there will be many more people coming to the sportstalk in the near future. And we have to utilize all of our collective wisdom and power to make this platform fair and attractive. That is depending on we users hands. We hope we make a better move.

Sounds like a decent plan Patrick. Can't wait to see that the sports tribe will take over palnet :)
Already feel at home here, so keep on going!
Cheers,
Peter

Woot! It feels great you came back with a decent plans and solutions to keep #sportstalk moving, so amazing! Thank you for the time and dedication you've put in. As well as thanks to @aggroed, @eonwarped and @holger80. You're all appreciated 🙏

I don't know what happened in the first place but is good you're working hard on the solutions. I like what I'm seeing so far champ. Keep it up!

I was so thrilled knowing there is a sport section on #steem blockchain. I posted last year all games about the World cup from Russia.
Sport is alive and so happy for #sportstalk.
I have seen post in here not related to sports at all.
Abusers need o be dealt with accordingly.
I wish to get more sport token soon and stake them as well.
Keep on postin'

Glad to see a working solution for the issue that doesn't wipe everything! Looking forward for the future of Sportstalk!

Good job.

Good

Everything is back on track. Thank you for the updates!
Way to go, SportsTalkSocial!

I think this is the right and balanced decision. Because the relaunch could be a bit radical.

The solution are generally effective to dilute the monopoly by these who exploited the system, but it will also hurt the price of SPORTS a lot into a level that is not quite predictable at this moment.

I hope the community could gradually focus on the content in the community rather than its power and money.

@patrickulrich thank you and I'm sorry these assholes put you to so much trouble after all your hard work and expense. I will be putting comments on unrelated spam and farming attempts and will downvote where I personally feel fit.
Finally, you've given me something to talk about and post on Steemit!
Cheers, and if there is anything I can do please let me know.

I would love to apply for the grant as well. I have been posting about sports for the longest time until even though it was not rewarding. It wasn't until I discovered Sportstalksocial that I was finally at home.

Sounds great.
It is really dangerous when a small group of people control the rewards system. This happened on steemit as well during the early days and we don't want the repeat of that.
I am very glad that you have found a solution.

Sounds like a very fair plan to resolve the situation. Airdrop sounds good to balance the supply.

Thank you @patrickulrich. I have staked all and gone on a voting spree to help distribution to posts that are actually sports related. Excellent response to a wobbly start.

Thank you for your continuous efforts @patrickulrich. It's normal to have some birth complication, but I think with the fixes proposed we are ready to take off! Sportfrei!

Is there a #sportstalk discord group?

It's still being worked on but you can still join at discord.sportstalk.social.

@patrickulrich is there a list of the people who were actually muted? Will those people be notified if theyre blacklisted? One concern I have in this move is the centralized muting powers that might be abused. Are there plans to try to decentralize that?

I purchased a bunch of SPORT without realizing they were "ill gotten". I staked them all and I'm not planning on selling. I'm glad to hear about these changes, I think it is very reassuring to users that this is being taken seriously and some reasonable action is being taken to continue the growth of this new platform.

I expect that this community will thrive, which is why I purchased them in the first place. I look forward to using this stake to reward good content. I enjoy curating, so this is a great opportunity.

I"m confident that SPORT will continue recovering in value and as new users join sportstalksocial.com there will be lots of new and quality content added.

I'm just reading this wonderful post, and I'm really excited. I have already started to publish some articles about it and now I read many details about it. it's nice to have a place to talk about sports with passionate users!
