RE: STEEM QUEST #1 | Slay the Cave-troll
Although new, I see the abuse. A person has to be blind not to see it. I've seen forms of combatant by others with good intentions, but their method, in my opinion, is perceived as adding to the reward abuse. Intentions may be there, but the actions taken may not be best delivered. It is very heartening to see someone with rank and power take action and join in the cause.
I personally am not up there in ranks for the issue to directly impact me, but I've seen the blatant abuse in action. It was a fundraising post for someone who fell on hard times and needed a new laptop. Everyone helped with what they could, and pennies do add up. I contributed my penny worth and it brightened my heart knowing there are people on here helping others in need.
To my dismay, I saw the fundraising post flagged when it was close to payout. Flagged not because of the message, but flagged simply because the person who made the post was not favored by the flagger. I don't understand how anyone could flag a fundraising post of all things and I don't support these type of people in the community.
My best wishes to you.
Is this what happened? Can you send the post? I will add my tiny upvote to it.
It was some months back @bengy and only one of the abuse I’ve witnessed. I do believe the person received the laptop with others helping later. Very sweet of you to want to help though. We can support in other ways now to ensure abuse like this is not prevalent.
@originalsimulant, if ever there is a time to upvote (the post) & resteem, here it is!
It does sound like quite an adventure, however this kind of thing (whatever kind of thing it is) is pretty far outside my wheelhouse. I don’t even know who it’s supposed to be, or what they’re even supposed to have done. I’m not really the posse/vigilante type; and I’m certainly not one for lynch mobs. I’m not saying that’s what this is, but again, how should I know? I don’t even know who it is.
I figured I would take the opportunity to check on our deal. :)
No, of course you should only support if you know the story. No lynch mobs here! Just a gathering of support for change. Your meme said it perfectly, and is exactly what this group of Steemians are trying to achieve.

ah! The illuminati!
You show the all seeing "G"!
