Apparently lots of legal systems around the world also seem to have this role, but they serve in different capacities. I think it is worthwhile putting this on the #bisteemit and #statistics radar and see if we can get some facts and figures on this one. I know that someone like @paulag and @eastmael or even @littleboy would probably be able to gather more information than I can gather on this, and perhaps after some careful consideration of the facts we can come to some reasonable resolution of this issue?

LOL, I didn't mean to hijack :) Just needed @berniesanders' attention. The @earthnation is a known spammer/scammer (scroll down on their posts) and was placed on Bernie's blacklist recently and went down for a while. It seems they're resurfacing, which would be quite bad for Steem.

plushzilla (55) · 7 years ago

There's enough payout generated from this post to consider or warrant further investigation for sure. The problem with being able to look into this further is that I can't see a clear dispute between the parties concerned, so it is unlikely that any form of dispute resolution is going to help if neither side can put forward a clear argument that they are willing to back up with objective information and then let an independent party make a decision. But if they do want to resolve this I have proposed several dispute resolution processes previously and would welcome an opportunity to put it to the test.

I don't know why @berniesanders has such a low reputation. Seems to be a okay guy for me but why are people flagging him and hurting his reputation without any reason?
-18? That's the lowest I have ever seen although I'm new here...
Seems unfair... fishy... manipulation...
Not good though this is not good... We need moderators to check for the flags... People are just using it as a weapon to use in case of a conflict here. You can't just flag someone without any reason.
We need to review this flag system... I'm putting forward this issue on minnowsupport panel in Dec 9.

@berniesanders Yes...this is a bit strange. I think that we can all learn from another and also improve things, if they're not as effected or one sided! Lets all work for a better Steemit! I have also seen some strange moves that make the community pool swing one way. This is a place where we should be able to speak the truth and not be afraid of getting unfairly flagged.
PEOPLE take a look at the detais! Is sometimes odd to see a new comer have a great reputation right of the back, with little to no content... not to mention having an effortless growth in the community. I personally have had my highs and lows here. There's times where I dedicate a lot of planning on content gathering; just to get emotionally crushed by the payout. But that is life, and I'm ok with it. But lets not get crushed by the preferences some people have here with the advantages. Life is not fair but lets not be suckers either. Best wishes to all.

Why am I not surprised that not only did I randomly get here, but the only comment that makes the most sense to me is yours Mr. @creatovert . I'm sitting here saying, I totally agree with this guy... only to see that it's you. I chuckled. I'm not sure how this started but isn't quality content up to the eye of the beholder? While I may not have a pod of whales hunting down my posts, I still consider my content bomb diggity dot com. So if someone ends up really enjoying what I create, but some other whale hates what I put out, will I be in the middle of a steemit war? Using flags, upvotes and whales as weapons? I can understand the salt behind self voting. Is this something that needs to be re-evaluated?

I guess it's really all about the self voting or auto voting that whales have set up. Is this the problem? So we have whales fighting whales, countering eachothers posts with whale votes? This just doesn't seem like proper steemit etiquette to me. I hope you guys resolve this peacefully and can learn to coexist. Take care

I have no idea about the spat going on between @berniesanders and others in the community but it does sound like we need to get our collective heads together to work out a way so the flagging process can't get personal and vindictive.

@creatovert

It's my understanding that sometime in the past a flag war that would make the current goings on look like a minor 5th grade lunchroom food fight happened and @berniesanders was repeatedly flagged by a single user with a very high rep(70+) that had a ton of Steem Power.

It seems in its short existence Steemit already has a colorful history.

@randystiefer It's very hard to gain reputation here... and it takes a lot of time and effort... But too bad that one single user can bring down your reputation to zero with just a few flags.

Hey Bernie - I haven't been ripped off from Blocktrades (hopefully never do) but I did come across something that kinda pissed me off on their last post - I think this is the very definition of "reward pool rape", and honestly I don't know anyone else who is doing a dam thing about it...

Hello, @berniesanders, i like the pesonality you have put up on this platform, saving the reward pool. How you go about it may not have sat well with many, but sometimes ways like this are needed.
@blocktrade i know from the exchange and have noticed his votes on few minnow that i know for creating quality post. I never knew about him upvoting shit post until this came up.

Please i appeal to both @blocktrade and @berniesanders to please talk about the issues privately and compromise at some point. It is only hurting the platform, the reward pool, the minnows and both of you. I believe you both can come to a compromise.

Bernie should be allowed to say what he wants, it's a democratic online project. It's not The Good Place. As everyone knows (spoiler alert), anywhere that is too good to be true, is always The Bad Place. I suggest we keep the mocking humour, the clashes, the two-fingered salute to 'good authority'. After all, that's what life is about. It's drama, a theatrical conflict of ideas and counter ideas. That is true democracy. Celebrate it. Defend your positions and love the drama of it all. No disrespect to anybody personally, as I don't know much about the debate, but everyone loves drama. That is good for us all.

Maybe you should do your math again. It's 5% by coinmarketcap pricing(including the fee to send the BTS). It drops to 4.7% according to CMD if you send 2 SBD (which reduces the impact of the fee to send the BTS).

Yo @blocktrades, wondering why you don’t at least defend the reason you upvote @michelle.gent so much? She blowin’ ya for upvotes or what buddy? $20 for a handy, $50 for a BJ? If that’s the case I get it pal. Don’t go all silent though. . Makes you look like a little bitch. . . Also, I’m a retired trader, so I know a thing or two about scams, market manipulation, mark ups, excessive fees, etc. Probably not a good long term business model. People catch on, regardless if it’s in your fine print. Stop the bullshit jerk off.

My wife likes her posts and upvotes them, what's the complexity here? Lately I've had to upvote them more to counter bernies downvotes.

What "fine print" are you talking about? Our system warns users first thing and VERY CLEARLY what fees it charges. It actually annoys the hell out of me when someone ignores them, because then I have to refund their money when they don't send enough to pay the bitcoin fee. I don't profit by it, it goes right out of our wallet as fees. In summary: if you're an experienced trader, you should realize now you shouldn't trust everything you read, especially not from a blowhard like bernie.

Bernie makes a habit of making one line comments then upvoting them for $27 dollars each, all the while cloaking his actions under compensating himself for "saving the rewards pool". It's such utter horseshit, I'm amazed anyone falls for it. Well, I saved the reward pool quite a lot tonight, he should be proud of me :-)

No, I upvote my comments because I feel like it. Still better content than the trash your wife has been upvoting the past 18 months and a better use of stake than ripping people off like you are. "I don't profit by it" is SUCH A LOAD OF HORSESHIT NOBODY BELIEVES YOU.

Thanks for removing the rewards, I'll keep earning them back by buying votes on posts about your ridiculous voting and ripoff website!

Hello @blocktrade, you could help minnow and the platform more by reducing your fees and giving discounted SP lease for community accounts for curation. You spread your upvote and only a few(1%) benefits. But if you give out some discounted SP renting/delegation to curation (community) account you will be making much impact on the growth of the platform.
Just my thoughts and suggestions. Pls dont flag me....am just a minnow!!

I honestly don't know what exactly to say about this except that perhaps it is time you both come to a compromise or something. Based on what I can see you are two senior members, as far as time on steemit is concerned, so, please, a resolution if you two don't mind. That said. Isn't everyone free to do as they please with their votes? I am a newbie, explain this to me. @berniesanders

Hi @berniesanders,

I understand this is your fight against abuse, but could please explain me what's the difference between this two approaches to this situation:

You say @blocktrades upvotes "trash";
People who regularly boost "trash" using upvoting bots

Result? Both "trash" have big reward pool.

I was not aware blocktrades is actually a person. I thought he was apart of steemit as it has an easy link to go on to exchange for steem. I will have to be more careful with blocktrades from now on.

BTW berniesanders certainly should not have a reputation of -18. Just this one article he has almost twice the amount of my entire steemit account. lol. I have a reputation of 55. Something certainly not right.

As @blocktrades said, "Of late, there has been a lot of controversy on Steem regarding vote buying, purchase of Steem delegations, self-voting, etc."

Steemit system should be more user-friendly.
Who are selling the votes "Bigger UpVotes", "Standard Upvotes" they must explain Terminology clearly. Every Upvote seller should have a sticky "Terms & Teremioloy" "Policy" blog on their profile.
Most peoples are getting confused with there service and losing thire money.
It's true that peoples are gathering here to earn some money from there creativity. They expressing herself.
Hope @steem @steemit will think about this.

Hey @berniesanders I'm really glad you asked about this, check this out. I wrote a post wondering why the fees are so high when trying to convert sbd to btc and I got downvoted by blocktrades as if I was attacking him or whatnot.
I was just pissed off to see such a huge fee and was wondering what is going on so I wrote about it asking others to tell me why this is happening. Later when I found out that it's not blocktrades who is taking such a huge chunk I updated the post so it isn't misleading but still got downvoted.

I always assumed it was a poker saying about bluffing or cheating
but according to Wikipedia For instance, you may not want to call a spade a spade. You may prefer to call it a spatulous device for abrading the surface of the soil. Better, however, to stick to the old familiar, simple name that your grandfather called it for being racist. The phrase predates the use of the word "spade" as an ethnic slur against African Americans, which was not recorded until 1928; however, in contemporary U.S. society, the idiom is often avoided due to potential confusion with the slur[3] or confusion with playing card references such as "black as the ace of spades".

They told me that they did not collect the fees that rather it is the "Miners" fees .... and recommended I only Exchange Litecoin or Ethereum for SBD.... Lesson Learned

Honestly, this is how Steem works. There will always be people who disagree and we need to co-exist. Currently the issue is what a downvote means. Are you steal, curating, etc.?

Looking at @blocktrades account there’s too much value there for an attack on Steem to make sense. The same can be said for @berniesanders. The problem is high value individuals fighting on Steem can lead to problems. Let’s try to keep this civil and discuss how we can improve the system to solve both groups problems?
