RE: Defining Terms | #spwi Episode 2
Interesting approach. Are you appealing to cheetah on discord?
It comes to mind that there is nothing but your word and your honor to hold you to your plan to take no rewards and to someday transfer the account to the content originator. I believe you mean it, but what is to stop someone else from claiming they are just holding the place for some big potential account, and then making off with the rewards?

Not yet. I plan to appeal once I have my first conversion. When I have my first promotion or wrestler here on Steem wanting to take control of their account, I will most likely appeal then. And yes, it’s true there is risk, but if I were going to do that, I would not have included my main account, or email. I’m sure there could be a technical solution with the multi sig feature where multiple people can control these accounts to ensure that myself, or anyone else cannot keep any earned revenue. I think using a technical solution to control the aspect of trust is the best way to handle fan accounts. Maybe there should be overdone from @cheetah or @steemcleaner where they are included in that multi sig. But to label me an identity thief and slander my name and my main account, after I have been very transparent, is not an acceptable solution. And, I knew going into this, that this could be an issue. But it is important to discuss the possibilities of making it easy to attract new users who have presence in mainstream social media, by using pre-made fan accounts with donated SP, or at minimum, designated SP. Stop trying to talk non-blockchain nerds into signing up for an account when on boarding still needs improvement. It’s still not very easy for many people to sign up, although it’s improving. Most people do not have the patience to wait or learn. You have to make it easy for them. Make it so easy they will want to try it. Put control mechanisms and governance in place to be sure the accounts are not abused, or used for profit. Show the mainstream content creators and popular companies the benefits and possibilities by putting their content on the blockchain and marketing the accounts to them. Actions speak louder than words. Live accounts to use as a reference when explaining something as complex as Steem can go a long way in winning them over to try it out. SP in the account to give them the proper bandwidth to post, and earn curation, and upvote their talent, employees, fans, and communities will be necessary. This is more than just pro wrestling on Steem, it could be anything popular. I did this to prove a point about the flaws of how we manage these issues, and about the value of this type of marketing. If I can convert 2-3 wrestlers and promotions and they bring a % of their fan base to Steem, the whole wrestling community could catch fire and bring in a whole new user base to this blockchain. But it will not work in the current state of Steem. There needs to be a shift in the mindset, attitude, and processes we currently see. I’m risking my level 62 account which could stay on the black list permanently for my alleged identity theft. Anyone can look at the accounts and see it’s not identity theft. I’m not pretending to be the content creator, lying to the community, or trying to withdraw any revenue the accounts make. I’m trying to attract potential growth of users and offering to manage these accounts in an acceptable way.

Yeah, I see your point I have also heard there's a problem with people getting dinged when they migrate their blogs from tumblr - for plagiarizing their own work.
People always find ways to exploit, so I'm glad there are some defenses - but it might be nice to have a process before flagging and labelling someone an (alleged) identity theif.

Yeah, no system is perfect. They have processes. Some are good, and some suck. In my case it sucks. They look at what I’ve done with other accounts and make a slanderous claim, despite my transparency and proof. It’s ok, I knew it was coming. Eventually, the payoff will be these accounts owned and ran by the content creators, and hopefully the flags and black list cleared. Although I doubt the blacklist will be cleared. We will see.
