I have recently seen a lot of posts from users confused about why they have a negitive reputation (commonly (-6)). Now some of these may be warranted but others I've seen defiantly have been mislabeled. The problem lies in that when these users try to speak up and question it... their bad reputation hinders thier ability!
So after receiving several messages on Steemit Chat about being able to help them out and since I can't really do much personally to help... I created this post to give them a voice.
If you feel that you have a undeserving bad rep then comment below and I will look into your account. If your profile looks clean with minimal flags or no flags I will give you a upvote. I ask other members to do the same and get these guys some help. @dantheman should be able to see the upvoted users and help them out as needed, with truly fixing thier accounts.
Some Rules
- no begging
- if you really deserve your bad rep then don't comment (saves everyone time)
- only upvote those you feel deserve a better reputation
- don't self post spam
I will be checking all hidden and low value comments as I know some of you will be automatically placed there
A Bad Reputation mage Credit: Joel Faviere
Hi guys, I'm one of the many newbies that have been drawn by Steemit , I have been a part of this community for 4 days only, but it unfurtunately seems that my selfpromotion in the comment section of some articles have led to a couple of flags - unfortunately some of them from giant whales. I didn't even have an idea that they have been flagged - there is no notification for that sort of thing. I wrote a post asking if selfpromotion is ok and it didnt have many replies , but those who replied said it was ok. I was very surprised to see my reputation at -6. If you can help me get back up I promise I will never selfpromote like that again. :( It's really painful to know your opinions can't be heard because of a newbie mistake. Had I been warned, I would have stopped immediately.

I'm giving @lorddominik007 my UpVote. I believe he should be above a negative number and at least start in the positive side of things. UpVote his comment if you agree.

Hey @blueorgy, cheers for letting me know about this. Have been on and off steemit all day trying to sort this out. I've been a member for 21 days here. The flag that destroyed me was this one apparently - https://steemit.com/copyright/@shredlord/why-i-don-t-care-someone-stole-my-article-and-made-usd400-on-steemit
I was a newbie at the time (and still am, but getting better), reading up on copyright issues about Steemit because it is a cloudy subject. I found the article and thought it was interesting so posted the url up in my article. I used the same headline for mine because I thought it would attract people to check it out to be honest. Cheeky, but I did mention in the post about giving credit where due. The guy who was interviewed in the article was talking about how a steemer made 400 dollars off his article, so I was basically trying to relay the information to steemers and say 'although this guy said he doesn't mind, steemers should still pay their respects'. I tried doing that by writing under the url, "Article from Justin OConnell, founder of GoldSilverBitcoin" which I guess could've been worded better to avoid confusion.
I've definitely learnt my lesson now anyway. Most of my stuff is original, and although it's not great yet, I really plan to build on it. I'm warming up to steemit anyway, hoping for another chance. I'll be a lot more clear about those sort of things in the future too. Sorry again. Would really appreciate your help.

I mentioned this before in another post, but I read how this user @ace108 was able to get his -5 rating back up to a 5 in a day. I guess he didn't realize he was tanking his account with his activitiy, but it seems like he adjusted well and is back to positive.
I'm not sure how many others will be able to pull off what he did, so it's great that you're bringing your reputation to the table to help them out. If you update here with findings, or put it in another post I'd gladly help out with my upvote support.

Yeah, he inadvertently made a "botish" comment that got flagged by a dan. I think that for those with situations like that it won't be hard to help them out.

@blueorgy and anyone else with positive rep, whale, minnow or other...
If I can get out another screamer and get attention to the issue before we lose all our noobies. You willing to flood in and back me up?
Essentially the plan is to get a page onto trending that calls out each person I can find who is having a rep problem and who downvoted them. A wall of shame.
We need discourse like this, and the current rep system is silencing legitimate users who have made mistakes with no recourse except to try and get a message to the whale that flagged them and that whale may very well have the user on mute.
So we get a message out on their behalf.

I love the new system of ratings - but interested in other's view of if this can be gamed? What's the payoff for getting a better rating? Very open question, but perhaps the benefit of steemit where comments can be made and questions asked within an environment that is openly scrutinised?

@patrice #STEEMBOTCOME anywhere in your posting will let the bot owners know you want their bots. We're also starting a registry so if there is any bot you don't want coming you can ask the owner not to bother you.
You can check my STEEMBOTS posting for more info.
We're up to 8 now. Need @wang's owner on board as well as @isaac.asimov's and we'll have all the known useful bots. The rest are strays.
