Unfortunately because of low-life members like the following, Steemit's days as a viable forum are quickly coming to an end, because it has essentially turned into nothing more than a cesspool of fraud and corruption, controlled by childish members, porn promoters, and other such low-life human beings (for lack of a better word) with high-reputations, and more money (to buy steem power) than brains.

Please help by filing complaints with the following organizations, as I have done, and which may also assist in getting your money back from this illegal ponzi scheme.

Good Luck!
I can understand you feeling any number of emotions in response to your experience here and I would have a ton of empathy for that.
I may even try to support your efforts to change the rules about dust payments (or any number of other issues) which I personally believe are working against building our user base.
But your request and list !
I would not support that kind of thing

Would you consider this a "crime" as well?

Or do you only downvote accounts that mention you personally?

Oh, ok. I thought you were downvoting @starworld because they called you a name ("suggested you and buildawale were a ped0").
From my perspective that's just, "Something no one has seen, that someone claims on the Internet without proof?"
I'm just wondering if you downvote accounts for name-calling generally, or do you only downvote when someone's calling you (or your alts) names?

You can look at my downvote history and figure it out for yourself. Get some education.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Isn't name-calling considered an ad hominem attack?
Nevermind, ok, let's call it libel for the sake of argument.
What can @starworld do to slake your wroth?
I mean, if someone called you the N-word, basically name-calling, what action or time-out period (30 days of silence) do you believe would be a reasonable censure?
I agree you've clearly been wronged, but you obviously outweigh @starworld significantly, so it's not exactly a "fair fight".
I'm not even sure if they're willing to apologize or take down (or modify) the offending comment. Maybe they could settle for just calling you a "jerk" or add, IMHO right before the statement?
I realize I have no option but to appeal to your intelligence and reasonableness.
I'm not even trying to help @starworld, I'm doing it for the newbz.

Sure, ok, so does that mean that if someone crosses some unspecified line-in-the-sand, that they're just SOL forever?
Don't you think if the situation was reversed that you'd appreciate some kind of warning like a take-down-notice or some quantifiable written rule or at least some option to "pay" for what they've done?
I have trouble believing you think "might makes right".
Thanks again for your time and consideration.
