Confessions of a Steem scum-bag

slobberchops (74) · 5 years ago

We all need some drama, I feel a little left out as each memo gifts me with 0.001 STEEM. How can I ever get rich when I'm off the 'list'. I have had but one SCUMBAG memo to date. ... sulk...

Well every tiny bit increases my votes and flags. I could actually filter those out and they would have to send me more to get noticed :)

To be fair I am the original scumbag that kicked this off. I started joining steemflagrewards and use my stake as you to remove unearned rewards. The stake I have is part earned part purchased. I should be able to do what I want with it, If I want to delegate it so be it.

I often get my own posts flagged for what I do so I also "lose" for trying to push steem in a way I feel it should go its not like its all profit. I've never powered down and want more influence so I can continue to push my views on the chain and people disagree they can do the same.

I don't downvote for opinions, only spam and blatant profiteering. Not saying I'm perfect but happy to be a scumbag.

I don't care about previous posts, I flagged posts that were buying upvotes regardless of the reason behind it. I've flagged enough people to have heard all the excuse, oh it was an experiment, oh I didn't know, oh why are their bid bots if i cant use them bla bla bla

This person has dragged out something so small for so long, I thought they would get over it by now gosh, some people know how to hold a grudge.

We hold very similar views and I am grateful for all you do. None of us has time to seek out all the abusers. I check the SFR mentions on the Discord and often find you got there first. Some people just don't get how bad things would be if we did nothing. Most of the excuses are lame, but I do give some a chance to prove they can do better. We just get the odd one who won't let it go. I hope they find happiness elsewhere in their lives.

I ignore the weird little messages.

I'm just there for the 0.001 STEEM per message.

Gotta wonder which Holy Text mentions delegating for profit as falling into the proscribed sin category along with the usual suspects like bearing false witness, murder, and taking the last piece of cake when you’ve already had one and your cousin hasn’t yet had any.

delegating for profit is a 'sin'
as selling delegations? or... never thought about delegation as a "sin". maybe if you sell delegation to someone who upvotes himself 100% all the time... this was a weird one

Yet does this person understand that those who are delegating, their stake didn't fall out of the sky, they took a risk and purchased or earned it through contributions. Their willingness to keep steem staked has far-reaching effects such as witness voting and so much more

steevc (73) · 5 years ago

There are people who don't post or even vote, but they delegate to others who will use it and pay them something. It's another opportunity to earn. I care more about what is getting upvoted. I can't look at everything but I trust others to find good content. What I make from that is not so important.

as i understand that there is a dapp that deals with SP delegation (renting). you offer amount of sp and ask for amount of steem for it for a period of time. i see no problem with it.

Well said! It's your stake to delegate the way you see fit. What you are doing is not a detriment to the blockchain. What they are doing is. That is all that needs to be said really.

zekepickleman (68) · 5 years ago

You tell em man! Anyone who knows you sees what kind of citizen you have been for the longest time. These butt-hurt losers are just throwing tantrums because someone is calling them on their bullshit.

You don’t have to be the sheriff but active citizens looking out for each other and our neighbourhood makes for strength.

If you get some of those made, I want one and I am sure so would @sequentialvibe ;)

I am worthy of Scum Bag status!

steevc (73) · 5 years ago

It just needs enough of us to care. Steem involves some give and take, but some just take. It's just amazing how long some of these people keep complaining and/or flagging me. If they don't like Steem then they can go elsewhere.

You do a great job @steevc. That guy can piss off

belemo (72) · 5 years ago

Sucks that one has to "explain" themselves to anyone but such I the platform we're on.

steevc (73) · 5 years ago

I don't have to justify my motives to them, but I'd like them to understand how I see Steem.

Oh well, we all have our separate views about Steem and society as a whole. We draw parallels when need be and other times, have differences. It's life and something that people weirdly fail to accept. Do your thing Sir. ✊

In another twist @pocketechange bought me this vote, but still doesn't dare to comment. Come on and I'll give you a vote to say thanks. It's not too late to be social. It's much more fun than sneaking around the shadows.

I assume someone else bought me an SFR vote. Thanks to whitener it was.

Did they, wonder who?

Or it could have been whoever has control of that account. It wasn't me anyway. I'm grateful anyway. Frustrating as that community can be they mean a lot to me.

I'd rather that @pocketechange didn't keep feeding these bots. Others are more deserving, but thanks anyway. I shall celebrate all this wealth with a biscuit. Can't you see I'm not exactly getting rich from all this, but I love the Steem community. Life is not all about the pursuit of money.
