My top 5 voters, will share equally the SBD dollars i will earn at this day.
this is bribe
[EDIT] (after "update 2" was added to post):
I im not in Steemit to fight, i am here to have fun !
I am not here to fight either! I was just concern about the behavior of people who would vote only to get rewords! No hard feelings to author or for his supporters.
I am really glad that somehow we ended this :)
my reword from this comment + small addition from myself I just used to boost this post.
Cheers, and keep steeming! :)
Upvoted. There is no reason that people shouldnt be allowed to buy and sell votes.
Its sad to see more censorship from the steemit abuse crew.
Have also gone back and upvoted this users past 15 posts. Hopefully that takes some of the sting out of the censorship.

Thanks for your support @sigmajin. And like i said in the first place, i wasnt intent to buy a vote, i wanna say just thank you to my loyal voters and how they support me everyday. They are the reason why i write everyday a new Report.

Yeah, i get it. I didnt make that argument because i think you ought to be able to buy a vote if someone wants to sell it.
But i realize that this wasn't an outright proffer.

You're right there is no rule against it.

completely agree. You can use your flag anytime you see someone doing or saying something you don't like. And you can justify that by calling it abuse. Censors and other tyrants have been doing that for centuries.
Thats why we need people to fight against self appointed thought-police.

The difference is that im not trying to stop anyone from expressing an opinion or voting the way they want. Im not even saying you shouldnt be allowed to flag. At the end of the day, I'm trying to protect expression. Youre trying to supress it.
You got to express your opinion. Im just making sure he gets to express his too.
And no, i don't think flagging is abuse. I jsut think youre wrong. You cast your vote foolishly and i cast mine in opposition.
Unlike people on steemit-abuse, i don't attempt to silence those who disagree with me.

A comment is an interaction worthy of a reward but not a vote. To reward somebody for voting for you is to buy their vote.
It's fine to shout out to your top voters, but rewarding them for their votes is not.
Please edit or I too will be flagging for vote buying.
If you really want to reward them, vote for their comments.

Well, I've been voting @elyaque's content for quite a while now. His reports contain very useful information which is definitely worth voting for. So, if I keep voting (which I'll definitely do anyway), I will not do it because I could possibly get money for that, I do it because I appreciate his efforts and hard work.
Hence, no bribery here.

Then steemit itself is also a bribe. You do realize that if a user is not currently in say his top 10 voters it is impossible to win? Thats means that it is a reward - no different from a perfomance bonus.

Rewarding somebody for voting for you is buying their vote.
Comments are worthy of a reward. Not votes.

So you cant thank your most loyal supporters with anything but words? How is this any different from companies sending gifts or a regular customer getting a discount at a store? That also equates to money. Is the issue that the reward isn't fixed or is it because the reward is cash?

SO to paraphrase If people are allowed to post things i don't like, the whole system will collapse. Maybe the system where people can post what they want without your particular sensibilities as a filter is the system more likely to endure.
If this was a NC post, just offering money for votes, then i would see your concern. That's spam.

This issue is that if we allow people to reward each other for voting for them then steemit will no longer be a blogging platform. It will become spammed with posts asking for votes or promising rewards for posts and people will quickly get bored and the whole thing will collapse.

I understand your point but there needs to be middle ground. I agree that you should not be able to buy votes, but vote count is the only stat that we have to measure follower participation. You should be able to reward your best followers to thank them. As stated earlier if you are not already in his top 10 or so voters this reward will be impossible to recieve hence he's not buying new votes, hes thanking his regulars for thier continued support. The area is a little grey on these topics but they do need to be cleared.

This post has already bought the votes of @sigmajin as you can see from his comment.
He had not already voted the previous posts, but due to this post he has.
Definitely vote buying, and he even justifies it as vote buying.
Maybe bring it to smooths attention, I've often seen him flag for vote buying, and @elyaque has had a long enough chance to edit their post.

If you've read this comment it is safe to assume you read the comments between @kurtrohlandt and I.
You did not interject in that conversation. If your post is ONLY for your loyal voters and it is not vote buying then you should have no problem editing your post to say that only a list of currently loyal voters will be included in this competition.

This doesn't change the meaning. If I started voting on all your posts this month I could be a competitor to be one of your "most loyal voters". Currently I am not a loyal voter of your content.

I've seen the tool. And the image of your 5 top voters. It is the words you use that is the problem.
If you really wanted to reward your loyal voters and not buy more votes, then why wait until September 30? Why not just split the $D from this post to share between @twinner, @asmolokala, @achim86, @fabio, and @rittr today?

No problem, I apologise for causing any stress over this. As soon as I see that the post is edited to say what it says in your comment I will remove my flag and ask @noisy if he would consider removing his.
I will then upvote your post and hopefully it will still gain some traction so that you will have something worth rewarding your top voters with.
