Who put @sean-king in charge of censorship on steemit?steemCreated with Sketch.

in steem •  8 years ago  (edited)

Open forum as this is a platform for social networking?

I'm not going to "bitch", I just need to understand certain requirements so that I can post whatever content I want; like everyone else does??

I'd like to start to understand why individuals like @seanking can appoint themselves as the "censorship" police?

Also, who actually voted these individuals for this position?

Do they have to go through the same protocols associated with becoming a "witness"?

I'm curious to hear people's thoughts on this matter?

After all, I'm feeling a little victimised as he continues to find it his mission to Down Vote my posts.

What criteria is he following? Can he list the other posts he is Down Voting? Please elaborate any pertinent reasons why?

May I suggest he compiles his own "white paper" on the requirements for posting content on steem?

I especially would like to hear thoughts from the following.......

@sean-king @craigrant @matrixdweller @julinanita @fminerten @simonjay @dan @ned @berniesanders @buildawhale @randowhale

After all don't we exist in a society that welcomes "freedom of speech"!!

Thank you

Been thinking about starting a bot like randowhale with focus on NSFW posts. However, not sure we can get enough SP to make a difference

We should all stick together

are you sure that id the account name ?
it says user do not found:

watch out man, or your posts will be downvoted by @sorosarsedweller and other Whales

What's the point of steem then??

With this comment you touched on one of the other BIG FLAWS of Steemit. It's in-transparency.
You say "steem", but it has to be "Steemit".
"steem" is euhm, well, eeurr, yes, it, well in short it is not Steemit.

  • And steem is not steem
  • And steem is not steempower
  • And steem is not steemdollars
  • And then there are other steemthingz like "steemd" and stuff

The whole platform is a labyrinth with confusing terms and a user interface that sucks, without a search function that works.
It looks like it was constructed based on some idea. Then somebody added a hack.
Then somebody else added another hack on top of this hack etc. etc.

My guess is, Steemit will get forked soon into other better performing platforms and die like "Geocities", "Messenger" etc.

What's the correct pathway?

Always remember those that mind don't matter and those that matter don't mind. Not to my taste but still appreciated. Best of luck

He also down-voted my last three posts. Which were my most successful ones with up to 14 upvotes which is a lot for me especially since I've been on this platform for about a week.

I don't really get why, I understand that I share nsfw content but it is allowed as long as we tag it as such. And given the upvotes we get we could believe people enjoy our content?

On top of being censored we seem to lose our payout as well and our follower lose out on their curator payout which is quite unfair.

My reputation went from 35 to 15, I'm not really sure what this metric is for though.

On top of that the poor guy has poor taste seeing what he resteems and posts.

Agreed; it's almost a form of "cyber bullying".

Please resteem to get it out to a larger audience.

Definitely is. Looking into it a bit, he seems to only down-vote content posted in categories where he posts. It is almost to wonder if he does that to "fight" the competition and increase his gains.

It's quite sad because we don't all do this for money, I would have made 30 cents with the posts he censored. He has much more to gain.

I think overall it lowers the intrinsic value of steemit honestly and brings negativity to the community.

The whole steemit system "filters out" the "bad" content, and bad content is subjective, the community should decide with their upvotes what is bad content and what is good content not one single guy. I don't see why his downvote should outweigh dozens of upvotes.

Agreed, he has down voted 13 of my posts today; ranging from 5% to 100%. Considering the weight of his steem power, it strikes me as overkill!! I wonder how many others he is "censoring"??

Something should be done as I consider he's abusing the platform.

It's all he does. He is surely part of a group that make profit out of some type of scheme based on that. Hopefully if we work together he won't have enough voting power to keep censoring everyone.

Edit: He did 60+ downvotes in less than 2 hours, after doing some math he can't sustain that so all we have to do is to keep posting and try to get more upvotes.

Maybe they're a bunch of socialist/communists that have found a platform where they can exercise their little tyrant desires over other people while making profits!

I would suggest you all organize and strike back in defense of your selves by building up your own whale dedicated to implementing heavy doses of their own medicine upon them until they maybe stop.

Excellent idea.

Maybe a vote-trading platform where you can choose posts to upvote like steemfollower could be an interesting way to defend ourselves.

Agreed

Your voting will force your voice to give me strength. thanks.

Thank you, please resteem so this can attract a larger audience.

I posted yesterday to a DOWN-VOTE FAN CLUB member about how if you are going to encourage this behavior you are obligated to post that there is an appeal process through the chat function . I say same here . I believe CHEETAH has the process in their speech . I hope my info serves your needs .

Hopefully I'll get views from @cheetah

Please resteem as I consider this a form of "cyber bullying".

I have the same questions about censorship in SteemIt, to me it looks even worst than the censorship in Facebook. They censored a post I made because it does not follow the "pharmaceutical industry teachings". Here is the post I wrote about the censorship in SteemIt https://steemit.com/steemit/@freedomvigilante/has-steemit-a-bigger-censorship-than-facebook
