Hey again, steemitizens.
I have a heavy heart.
A seedy underbelly has been exposed on steemit. A user abuser who was harassing various women on steemit was heavily flagged down by some whales recently and he decided to attack one of them by flagging down minnows in the #MinnowSupportProject.
This user is so psychotic that he actually created an account and uploaded $8000.00 in STEEM into the account so he could swing around his tiny penis and use the voting power to do nothing but attack accounts.
You will see flags on EVERY POST in my blog now, and on those of many of the MinnowSupport group members, some whom I know and some whom I don't. This guy is just targeting anyone he can find in MSP and I fell prey to this attack.
It isn't really "hurting" me except that you may get warnings on my posts when you open them that they have been flagged down. When MSP whales and others see this, they can come apply MORE voting power to bring us back up out of flagged land, but that takes time and a lot of us are under attack.
If you would like to help me out tremendously and you feel so inclined, please watch for posts from MSP members that are flagged down and vote them BACK UP! These users, including myself are being unfairly targeted by this basic bitch asshole and there is little within the steemit world we can do but fight downvotes with upvotes.
I would NEVER EVER IN MY LIFETIME ASK for a vote for myself, but I am in this ONE case, asking you to watch for posts from MinnowSupportGroup members that are flagged down and consider, why is this post flagged? Was it flagged by a user named "el-mago" who has 34 plagiarized porn pics on his feed and 8 grand in his one day old account? That's our asshole misogynist loser right here, or were they flagged for standard reasons?
If it was the jerk, please help the MSP friends get back on top by upvoting our improperly flagged posts.
Thanks.
I love steemit and you people in the community. Bad actors are starting to appear. We will need to work together to shut them down.
Much appreciated, much love to all! (Except el-mago the el-maggot!)
[EDIT:] Adding the backstory that helped me decide to fight this asshat.

I think you are only making this worst by insulting this person the way you do by referring to the size of their genitals. You'll never come out clean out of this if you continue the way you do.
Ps : I don't think you're going to get much support into considering someone psychotic because he bough steem and powered it up. Lol

I hear your points but you need to know the whole story. Most of my followers are in MSP and know what's going on here. And I stand by my explanation. Buying steem and powering up is what we WANT people to do.
Doing it to be abusive to women and then using it as a weapon against the good people defending them is NOT cool.

Well said! I noticed this yesterday! I have written a post on it too. And now he posts on my comments too. I choose to ignore it! Some idiots will never change and are too stupid to acknowledge the fact that they are wrong. The Denial is strong with them.
Thank you for your post!

The denial is not the only strong negative I can think of... You're welcome. Is he flagging you down? Or just commenting?

He is just commenting. I hope it has stopped too.

If he does not stop or it progresses, let me know. I have managed to arrange something of a repair squad, we will leave it at that for now.

His comments are ridiculous! You would get super annoyed if you read some of the comments Here!

I think you have a different troll than I did. I read through a lot of comments and your troll is just jealous of your success, which is pretty damn impressive by the way, but not surprising, since you seem to have perfected your craft here fairly well.
Pretty cool that you have met @ned and travelled so much. Sometimes I wish I could be super model pretty and have the world in my hands, but in reality, I'm probably much better off only becoming "blog famous" because I don't think people would want to watch me dance. :D
I'd tell your followers to mute and ignore aggressive commenters. If they harass you with downvotes and affect your reputation and income, then maybe something should be done, but until then, ignoring them seems to make them go away. They find other people or get bored without being fed attention.
By the way, I retract what I said about having friends who can help HAHAHA, I think you've got much bigger friends than I do. And now I feel silly for even suggesting it. :D
Have a great day.

I can't say, probably not. He seems focused on a specific group that is fighting his misogyny together.

Every little bit of support is appreciated. I don't really know yet how flags and upvoting work against each other, but all I do know is this community has to work together somehow to fight bad actors. Thank you!

Ego can really get in the way. This is an unfortunate thing. This has completely turned Steem and SteemIt into something opposite of what it is supposed to be. Wish this drama wouldn't have started in the first place but I guess our Egos and we get really defensive instead of accepting our mistakes.

I guess I am as much at fault for "ego" here with this post as the bad guy is for his trash and flagging... but I am trying to raise awareness to an issue that will grow in scope as we take on more and more users.
Precedents and plans need to be in place for taking out the garbage or it will pile up and stink.

There is only one person that we can control... That is ourselves. I agree though on precedents and taking a stand.

Some kind of protocol needs to exist. Freedom is cool. Free speech is cool. This user's actions are borderline criminal though.

I've had a post flagged by the same user you're talking about, for no reason other than I am a member of the MSP. Thank you for bringing it to the communities attention. I now understand what is going on.

So sorry to hear this. Let @aggroed know in discord. He's running fix-it operational HQ there. I feel terrible for everyone involved and poor aggroed is having to handle it all, because he's our biggest heavy hitting big brother on the playground. :(

I joined the MSP yesterday and immediately I got flagged by this person. I approached @aggroed and he made things right for me yesterday which I very much appreciated. I noticed that there are two names doing the flagging, are they the same person?

Probably more than 2. Hard to say. Yes, we do think he uses sock puppets. We think the original offender is also a sock puppet.
