Peace talks - How will they end?

in steemit •  7 years ago  (edited)

Upvote if you want the flagwar to end.

The peace talks have started with the first direct dialog.


Today I got this.

What started as a shoot first and ask questions later has now degraded into the first ever dialogue attempt from bernie.

I responded...

Fingers crossed at what he will decide.


Edit

It appears we have a tentative deal...

@teamsteem and @stellabelle will likely be glad if this works out in practice.
Thank you all for your concern though, really.

It is much better for the platform to have as many people as possible pulling on the same rope in the same direction. It would be awesome to see more voting power used for positive reinforcement.

I really hope this works out and everyone can have more fun here.

Oh Yeah!!!

This is how I imagine Steemit right now.

Interesting development, keep us posted.

this is hilarious and cute!

:)

Fabulous

Yeah @htooms & @berniesanders. Quartz is not always good for the health. No matter what you've heard before by the treehuggers.

¡Bury it again into the quarry mates! :)

I've already upvoted this post @htooms, but I still will not believe a single word you both have said on this post unless I see a 100% upvote from both of you on this comment. LoL

¡Word Of Cranky Gandalf!

Excellent @htooms :) Hey look @berniesanders! Only is missing your upvote as a signal and signature of final truce mate. We are already halfway to the dictum of peace to allow me pull out my pulverizer pistol of fights sealing them forever and fade each one of the previous discrepancies into ultimate oblivion. ¿What you say? ¡Your turn! :)

I could only give you 5 x 100% Upvotes now, so glad to read this, you guys should get along would be a early Birthday ans xmas present for me! Namaste, all for Steemit, if i would habe 10000% i would Vote for this to happen

Wow! I'm so flattered you mention me.

And yes I'm very happy with the more positive development the situation seems to be heading in.

As you know I would love us to all get along better with one another. There's no exception to this.

Take care @htooms and Steem on!

I agree with my friend @teamsteem who has been here as my support system from day 1, a year ago. If not for people like him, positive people, steemit would not be successful. I am happy that peace talks are going forward. This is the best news in a long time.

I want to vote this post with 10,000%. Please stop this. Let's all enjoy steemit. For that was created. We have a beautiful community and flag war is useless. I hope this message is read by both of you and that from now on, good energy reign among you!!! Steem on guys! STEEM ON!

me too. i want to vote with 100,00000000000000!

yeahh!

Let's enjoy the peace that reigns, my friend!

flag war is useless
!

LOL

:D :D

I am normally very against peace in any form. However, in this case, I think an exception can be made in order to unite the powers to fight the true enemy...

SCUMBAG REBELS!!!

Spread love everywhere, The war has to stop

It would make Steemit a better place to be YES stop the flagging and be friends :)

Give peace a chance :)

It didn't work for me :)
I and kr community didn't flag (there maybe few but I couldn't count all of them) him for about three weeks, but he keeps flagging kr posts a lot. While I have no concerns about flagging on repetitively high-rewarded authors, rather I thank to him for balancing bot's influences. But one issue is he's often flagging first post of newbies (or first $100+ post of them), and another issue is he flagged real good posts, which even have over +2000 views since it was linked to other sites(sometimes Google Now suggestion). This discouraged newbies and good-quality authors a lot and is obviously destructive.

However, we still not revenge back, because we believe spreading negativity will ruin the whole Steem community. What's your thought about it?

My thoughts are that you should stop rewarding shitty posts that have 15 views with $100+. If you did that, there would be no flags. Since I have to spend so much time on KR posts every day and there are so many that I consider abuse, I do not have time to look into the history of every author. Get your community and bots under control and you won't have any more issues. When you keep rewarding people like @littlestar, @kb720k, @gotoperson, @godknows who make multiple $100+ posts per day with a single photo then I will stop flagging the posts. Until then, you will continue to receive flags when I have time to review. It's not a tough concept. Stop rewarding shit just because it's Korean and I will have no need to negate the rewards on them. I've told you this multiple times now.

I believe I got a unique blog with posts deserving your attention @berniesanders and hopefully your long term support. Thank you for checking it out. I seriously belive that solid original good content is the key of steemit's and steems success in the long run.

See what he downvoted. Does this seem legit to say "shitty posts that have 15 views with $100+(it was before he downvoted)?

https://steemit.com/kr/@maa/46mpgf
https://steemit.com/kr/@maa/2017-5-20
https://steemit.com/kr/@maa/3qwkmu

He may need more zero on view counts.

We all know those view counts are fake bullshit. Good try though. Why would a post with 2200+ views get less than 125 votes. Either the views are fake or the content is shit and people don't want to vote. Which is it @clayop? I think I'll actually increase my flagging at this point since you're not understanding, maybe then you'll get it @clayop.

Because most of views from non-steem people. These posts were linked to external sites
E.g. See this google result. We can find three links of https://steemit.com/kr/@maa/46mpgf

I'd love to see it, unfortunately I cannot read Korean. Maybe the solution would be to ask the gentleman to also posts in English? I'm sure it was misunderstanding because of the language barrier :)

revisa mi blog tambien esta en ingles y en español, lo publico en varios idiomas para que todo el mundo lo pueda leer

What are community bots im so confused

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

False accusation. Show me how many posts with 15 views and $100+ rewards I voted for. Among those accounts you mentioned, I voted only one post (which has $35) from @littlestar @kb720k and @godknows in last two weeks. There are three posts with +$100 of @gotoperson I voted, but all of them has over +50 views and good participation, over 20 comments.

I'm not blaming YOU, I'm blaming YOUR community you claim to have built. I don't care what you say anymore. If I feel the rewards are not warranted, they will get flagged. Their posts suck, they're not doing any good for Steemit and they're just sucking up rewards.

Regarding that thing, I am not blaming you too. I honestly appreciate your work. It actually balances rewards and makes the community healthier.

What I have concerns is flagging on quality posts with high views(mostly from external sites) and community engagements. Additionally, newbies posts should be carefully dealt, with the consideration of "values from expanding user-base". Gladly, it seems that you are not flagging on newbies "first high payout" posts recently.

No, I do not even look at posts where I do not see the same user receiving rewards repeatedly. I only look at those who post multiple times per day and receive ridiculous rewards.

This can undermine your argument. There are several (or more) authors who post multiple times daily and earn more than $100 per post. Why are you leaving them?

Because they actually have people commenting and engaging and take time to write their posts. Your Korean's, not so much...they post a single photo with 2 sentences and earn $100+

definitely support an end to flag wars and general animosity
ultimately the platform benefits the most when we all put our best efforts to promote the best content on here

good to see your reputation in the positive figures @htooms :)

I think everyone involved with steemit will benefit once flagging wars end. Hope it works out!

Guys please, support good content. Thats why we are all here for. :-)

@velimir

Maybe try peace for a change of pace.
When one's actions affect negatively a huge portion of the Steemit community, you must ask yourself: why am i doing this?
If you don't value your own investment, then perhaps it's time to figure out how to value it? Destroying others (including trying to take away rewards, even on posts that help others) is perhaps something else, I don't know yet why one would actively want to mess up their own investment. Even though you might think you're not connected to the people whose rewards you take away, you are. We are all in too deep here on Steemit. Seperation is an illusion. You are connected to me, even though you wish it were not the case. This means that in order for Steemit to get big, to the "next level" as they say, operating as a big interconnected organism is in our best interest if we are to even attempt replacing Reddit, and the other one: Facebook. If we fight amongst ourselves over petty stuff, our big goals will be buried. We are all on the same team actually, so destroying people in here serves no purpose. Do we want to go big or play small?
The choice is yours.
I would love to see an end to the flag wars.
We have a lot of work to do and the Steemgigs project could really make a difference in getting people into Steemit. Steemgigs will need some whale support in the beginning, so maybe that's something different to put energy into?
Letting peace reign will have huge economic benefits to everyone, in ways we cannot even yet imagine.

Just to be clear, I will still be flagging your posts daily.

Would be nice if you two made up! I'm guessing hugs aren't happening, but hey, no flagging would be good! It's sad if a fight between whales drags all of Steemit through the mud. I understand disagreements, but it's not something that should affect the whole platform. There are loads of nice and innocent people here :-)

Can we ALL just get along?

Whales at war, all other fishes vanished!
Please resolve this quickly let the Steem Ocean Pacify!

Communication is only reasonable way. Fingers crossed.

I think it will be very expedient to end this flag-war for the benefit of both incoming steemians and already present steemians.

What an entertaining read. Never knew about the flag war and didn't think it was this savage. Glad it ended quickly.

This is awesome news!
May Peace reign over Steemit!

Finally, it's good that this war is ending before it ends us. Spread the love! Steemon!

War does not determine who is right - only who is left. - Bertrand Russell

we are looking on the positive side, thanks guys!

I'm happy to see this happening. Peace be with you all. :)

nice...you deserve upvote and resteem...

@berniesanders is an associate
@htooms is a new friend to be
Hopefully, you guys can resolve this matter in civil.
Part-time working as Steemit Attorney, I won't side anyone.

Perfect..
Great support contest..
Upvote and Resteem.!!

I want the flag war to end :) And YESS stay positive !

Hallelujah!

I wanted to tell you that I’m sorry that I haven’t responded to your responses inside the articles. I haven’t thought about the fact that you don’t comment in order to save your reputation. I never knew, before Furion released his Steemit’s google. You have convinced me that you have contributed to Steemit more than most of the users ever will. I hope you will negotiate a peace treaty guys! Bernie could patrol different realms of Steemit then and you maybe won’t post articles like “fuck yea earning millions by my left hand” anymore and we all will be happy :). Hope it will be curation time again, rather than flagging war time!

Thank you for posting @htooms.

Sounds excellent.

Steemit as a whole would benefit if you stay on.......of course, whatever you decide. Appreciate you keeping us posted.

All the best to you. Cheers.

Quoting one of my comments under this post about the trending page:

Wherever you go where money is involved, there will be an incrowd laughing all the way to the bank. Little you can do about it, it's a free market, and can you really blame them? A few actually write interesting content.

Maybe with a linear reward curve, some silent whales voting again, and @htooms and @berniesanders settling their differences and trying to do something about this, we could get a trending page that is somewhat presentable to the outside world.

If you must fight, don't fight each other, find a common annoyance and fight that together, not necessarily the trending page, but anything you both hate. I'm sure you can find some common annoyance to fight to benefit people using Steemit. There's nothing wrong with shaking things up a bit every now and again, and there are more effective ways to do that than fighting each other.

Spread the love and end the hate! Great message, my brother!

A battle of the steemit titans, y'all should focus on y'all similarities rather than differences.

Well, isn't that special?

It should be practiced earliest. And make this world a home where everybody enjoys living together, sharing culture thoughts lifestyles...very good post

Hopefully the result of the negotiations, is the best result

Live peace better than war

@htooms, please do not abuse #introduceyourself tag/category, this makes hard to find relevant content. Please try to use only tags that match your content. Thank you.

A reason prevailed! Let's spread it to the whole World 😊

Did the truce end? I am getting flagged by you and @abit now.

Edit: I read something on abit's feed. No worries. Thought I was getting lucky on a post for a change. Guess not. :)

Are you alright with it?

I've suffered worse in my life.

not sure about the details, but yes any war should end before there is irrecoverable damage :) all the best, and may peace prevail for the good of the entire community!

In my country there is a very popular saying that if the brothers fight they are debated by outsiders.
That is applicable to our platform, there is nothing better than to take us all well and always go to the same side, there would always be differences of opinion that happens in everyday life, is spoken and solved and everyone lugo agreed we do the Common good, desire to ocrazon a happy ending

이 게시물은 내 프로젝트의 문제이기 때문에 매우 흥미 롭습니다. 협조 해 주셔서 감사합니다. 일부 고래가 너무 많은 힘을 가지고있는 한, steemit에는 문제가 있습니다. 고래를 망치지 마십시오. 나는 너 같은 새 돌고래를보고 싶어. 그들이 게임을 바꾸기를 바랍니다.

Make drugs not war:)

stop flag yes!!

Be like the Dude and hug it out!
