Use Your Down Votes

I think down voting is somewhat foreign to most of us and why there is a need for it more than ever today. If you look around at the various tribes there are some very bad actors. When I was in England there was a saying"taking the piss" and that is exactly what is happening across the spectrum.

Users that have been on here just to plunder like pirates and they don't give a toss about you and me. I have been in sportstalk for the last month and I am happy to say that things are happening slowly and I have noticed certain abusers being blacklisted already. This is reassuring that the community is doing something and hopefully it will gather pace and fix what needs fixing.

What I don't understand is people voting these users and not looking at the bigger picture. These accounts and there are many are posting what we would call as spam or shit posts and not one or two but multiple posts each and every day. After the seven day pay window they are selling everything at the Steem Engine exchange and are then sending it to their accounts and out to Bittrex or another exchange.

The one account I looked at last night has only been around for a month and two days ago sent 500 Steem to Bittrex. There is more stashing up now and it will go the same route. Users are still supporting this type of behavior and they need to catch a wake up and fast.

Not only is this behavior of dumping tokens putting pressure on the tribes tokens, but it is also going to impact on the Steem price. If an account that is barely 30 days old can plunder close to 1000 Steem what are the others up to.

I have worked too hard to see the Steem price drop and will over the next few weeks use every down vote possible and more. Curation should go out the window as this is more important if we want Steem to have any value in the future. These tribes I thought would help Steem and help bring in new users, but it looks like the wrong sort has come in. This type of action cannot be allowed to continue and I plead with everyone to wake up and get involved.

I know Sportstalk has a discord and users are highlighting abuse. I hope the other tribes are doing something similar as if they don't they will be in trouble. No one will invest into a community that is having it's token constantly dumped.

It's all the scammers and spammers that came here when the crypto bull run was happening. It's the same again. Opportunists who see an opening.

Flag the fuck out of them I say.

We should enjoy this.

Just recently i was in a war if words with one of these sorts, and due to the fact that he got downvoted as a result of my talks, he also downvoted some of my posts. So i feel this war will make better sense if those that are with large stakes are committed to doing this. Its our joint duty to get this evil out. We have people who just make random post and upvotes it to the end of the earth with various accounts they have in their control, and when those with lesser stakes speak against this, they might come down heavily on them.

I don't know @sportstalk has a discord server, if they do, please point me in the right direction.

daniel let me know if happens you again and myself and @cryptoandcoffee will sort it out

That would be nice, I will do that next time, thanks @blanchy.sports

I am sorry to hear about being downvoted after doing the right thing. We are here together and I will back you. I am sending you a link for the discord server.

I will remember that. Thanks for the discord invite.

It is everybody responsibility to fight spammers , there are alot of junks post here on sportstalk those that just copy posts from a sporting website and post it here on the platform which is really bad 😎

Then please highlight in discord in the replay room I think.

Avast! Not all pirates are bad actors, matey! That's a negative stereotype. It's an honorable profession.

So...who're ye talkin' 'bout? Seems like a ton of users are postin' multiple times a day and sellin' Steem/tokens.

It will take a little time but they will be weeded out. Steemworld is a great tool and no one can hideaway.

sometimes you have to make yourself laugh...not sure if it is really funny but I am kind of still smiling.

Was going on a downvote massacre the last days which is why I dont upvote atm to recharge

That is why I have followed all of you now. i have just moved everything over to @cryptoandsports and freeing up voting power. It is just not possible to have one account for everything and be of use to everyone around you.

It kinda hurts to see people cash out, I guess some folks are here just for the cash. I mean we gotta take some money off the table but not hurt the whole platform in the process. I would like to trade for some Leo or Pal but I want to see the price stable first.

I agree a stable price would be great to see. I have switched over to this one now for sports and will post on this handle from now on. I couldn't cope with the voting power and can do more good with this set up. i delegated tonight to sportsvoter as the returns are excellent. Leo and Pal do look stable and not set for pump and dumps. We will get this fixed though as the days of the bad actors are going to come to an end quickly.

I'll do my part in sending spam splattering against the wall. I'm here for the long run and want to see Steem live up to it's amazing potential.

I agree just moved my stake into one account just for sports so it can do more damage and not put the VP under pressure.

It is too bad that people are taking advantage of the system. It just seems to be a way of life these days. I don't understand why you wouldn't want to grow your account and give yourself more of a secondary stream of income. That just seems like a no brainer to me.

Question :

When HF21 will take effect, will the "allocated downvotes" per day also be applied to sportstalk?

In that case, we can downvote if we disagree in rewards/etc.

That is how it is supposed to work yes.
