Hello friends!
I need some help. Last week i posted an article clearly showing how @grumpycat was a hypocritical and menacing piece of shit. This account which is 3months old has a rep of 65 and about 500k SP — so this is obviously some whales pet project.
G-cat claims that he is flagging posts that use bots s/he doesn’t agree with or ones that have been upvoted when they’re older than 3.5 days.
I woke up today to have 4 gimp-cat flagsin a row! And some of them hadn’t been “boosted” at all. This was obviously a personal attack on me as i have stood up to this Bully and called him/her out for his very blatant hypocrisy. Gimp-cat uses the same bots as i do and collects MASSIVE rewards. Seriously, go have a look in the accounts wallet and ask yourself: who is abusing the system?
I am proud of my content! I am proud of the friends i have made here and all the new things i have learned or discovered i had an interest in. Steemit is great! Except for the few deranged individuals who work hard to make this e-paradise a mire of loathesome muck.
Fuck Off gimp-cat!
My Steemian friend @michaeldavid, who is a “giver” not a taker, was also affected by g-cats assholism. Michael is a single father doing his best and making responsible posts. He is also relying on some income from steemit to help raise his child! G-cat is making this more didficult for him. You are a disgusting piece if filth gimp-cat — a rich, soul-less loser who has nothing positive to say, or write, and who appears to be here on steemit only to loot it and make it difficult for honest people.
I too am a father. I have two beautiful boys (15months and 5yrs) and i would do anything for them; Including tearing the fucking arms off anyone who came at them with any malicious intent. Keep your arms clear of @thedamus gimp-cat! ‘Cause you are impeding my ability to care for my children.
You are obviously not a parent (or if i’m wrong about that, then you can’t possibly be a good one). You are irresponsible, and selfish and a petty tyrant with a small wiener. People like you reproduce less frequently thankfully enough.
Just what is your problem really? Do you need a hug? Do you need some testicles? Have you tried taking a positive interest in anything besides your own money? With all that loot you could be making this place a lot better rather than biting the hand that feeds you.
Ironically, i agree with much of what you say in your reasoning re: upvoting old posts or using shitty bots. I never upvote old posts, and was just recently alerted to the fact that a bot i had used was questionable. I have stopped using it, but i also asked Who The Fuck Are You to tell me what i should or shouldn’t do around here. And i ask you the same thing?
Simce it is clear that the gimp account is a secondary account, who is behind this? And further, why hasn’t steemcleaners or some other algo, or some PERSON at steemit not attended to this? It actually gives me the willies thinking that this much beloved platform has a dark and greedy secret — the global elite writ small!
I am very proud of my reputation on steemit. And i frequently look forward to having and giving lots of fun and other good things to the like minded people i have met here.
Please don’t fuck that up for me and everybody else. Please don’t fuck with my two little boys who have many and varied needs, including an honest and caring dad who has some groceries, diapers, fees, and nerf products in his pockets. Please don’t continue to be an entitled cash monger who cares not for what is right and true.
Please, just grab your loot and get the fuck out of here. Your really helping nobody out except yourself.
I am:
And if you are still here reading this i say: THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Now go and flag this asshole to smithereens.

Thank you! and,

Bud you've been nothing but aces to myself and many others on here that cared enough to to check out your content. We've watched you give selflessly and provide others with crypto wallets and even send them Bitcoin. It makes me very sad to see you getting picked on like this. It goes beyond just sticking to his policing of upvote bots he's claiming to be against because he keeps revisiting your blogs and downvotes posts that have no upvote bots on them

If gold comes from neutron-supernovas, and yet we can buy it on-line with crypto and have it delivered, then there are forces at play that we know nothing about...

Save your upvotes for me my friend, you'll need em more i figure. These flag wars are fruitless ventures in the end, it's sad but there's not much we can do to an account with almost half a million power bought just to behave like the all seeing god of Steemit 😞

Well you guys are both a target now from what I've seen, it's gone beyond just policing what he claims are "offenses" because he's returning days later to flag your posts that haven't even been boosted by upvote services he's saying he's against. He squashing on freespeech which is the worst part of this all. If you're gonna flag a post u feel deserves it fine, but then go fuck off somewhere

It truly is a shame. I am sorry for both you and @michaeldavid. I too am a father, my wife works as a waitress and my main source of income lately has been cryptocurrency, more importantly, Steemit (even though I am powering everything up right now). Since I'm not making any money for bills, I can call it my own retirement plan. Seeing these things happen doesn't sit well with me at all because I'm dumping a lot of hours into the platform.
It comes to my attention that the community will typically give back what you lost by upvoting, so that's a plus. I guess. But when will enough be enough?
When it comes to who can neuter this cat, it appears to me that those who can are observing this like it's some kind of spectator sport. I call shenanigans on all the big guys on top. From what I've heard and seen, they're either on to bigger and better things (Something about TRON or EOS, I'm pretty sure it's EOS, but TRON is also a future competitor it seems) and have basically left the platform to die/whatever or they are just more fascinated by the drama to actually step up and do something.
This has something to do with the idea that steemit is broken or unfixable as mentioned here: TIL: Dan Larimer left STEEM because it was unfixable. posted by inertia 14 days ago.
@dans response:
and another example, regarding the berniesanders and haejin flag wars:
haejin posted by berniesanders 4 days ago.
@neds response:
Seems "publicity" is more important than keeping order.
In the end, I highly doubt that "just another toxic reddit" will bring much value to the world of the internet.
With so much going on, I've already heard many other people talking about waiting for other social media backed by crypto like synereo.
If no one does anything, will Steemit survive? I think it will, but we need to step up as a community and come together.
First and foremost, we should just stick to the compliant upvote bots. Secondly, but also a priority (so really first and foremost) I agree with neutering the cat. We dont have to kill it, but from experience, neutering a cat certainly calms them the hell down.

First, let me say that I LOVE the expression neuter the cat! lol
Ok, I am right on page with you. The big guys either don't care or like the drama. Actually people talk about watching it as a spectator sport. I can say that when the flagging is between whales it is really not affecting them they are basically just arguing but when that is thrown at regular fish it can seriously hurt them. Like you, me and so many others, this is our livelihood right now.
You are also right about coming together. This is exactly why I have started my "Steemit's Got Issues Community Discussion" Series of posts. I'll admit that I get so busy with other things that I don't post frequently enough on it but my goal is to get the community together on certain issues that need to be discussed and ultimately decided on among ourselves.
I was not able to read what you showed about hijien and bernie. I've steered clear of that particular one because they are both whales and I feared being punished so to speak for siding with either lol.
Onto neutering the cat...
With enough of us we could begin upvoting his victims and then downvoting his self voted comments. It will take hundreds, possible 1000 small fish but it can work.
I'm super busy currently at a large event but when I return if it is still a big issue I will make a call out post and be sure it is seen by enough people to really make a difference. Currently I'm calling it the Freedom Initiative. Only used to put whales like grumpy in their place. Not as enforcers or saviors but as equalizers.
Strength in numbers. Whale do not and should not have all the power.

I'm glad that not everyone disagrees with me. Some people are telling me that what grumpycat is doing is perfectly ok, and that he's not attacking anyone. I'll keep an eye out for your post and will definitely join in the numbers game.
I'm literally being told not to interfere because what he's doing is okay and those with more invested should have more say. I will absolutely interfere. I like your freedom initiative.

The only people that think it is ok have not grasped what he is actually doing. When you strip rewards from one person then upvote your own shit it is actually stealing. This behavior is fucking illegal everywhere in the world.
Believing that someone can push us around and steal from us just because they are rich is truly fucked up.

How can I help? Sorry, I'm not that far into STEEM. Could you explain what flagging is and how exactly it affects you?

Flagging is the opposite of upvoting. It's essentially a downvote. Downvotes strip your rewards. So if you make 1 potato, someone who's upvote is worth 1 potato can come take your potato away. Flagging also affects your reputation.
It's designed to punish abusers and plagiarists. This guy is abusing his power by flagging / downvoting innocent people

As someone new to steemit, I find it almost as hard to find quality content and people to follow as actually trying to produce my own content.
It's depressing to think that your all hard work creating original content can be down voted to zero due to one individual on a personal crusade against bots. Interesting Grumpcat doesn't seem to care about the clear abuse of others spam posting technical analysis of crypto.
You will keep getting my up votes, too bad they aren't worth anything.
