RE: Help Us Create Utopy - The Utopian Mascot!
Thank you for your concern,
The interface was merely a means for us to provide an easy access for contributors to contribute to utopian.
As of the recent troubles we've had, and since the user's experience and data security is of utmost priority to us, we shut down that interface as you probably are aware.
Now to your point, Utopian had instantaneously following the incident (and will continue to) provided support for the community to keep contributing, and have seamlessly continued to award top utopian contributions. No contributions were missed of being reviewed, our CMs and moderators (a proud CM myself) continue to provide continuous effort on that end.
Our discord channel and our ticketing system are all available for any support needed to the community. Even steemit/busy comments are always attended to by our team.
Utopian is moving forward stronger than ever, so yes it's definitely the time to get utopy available, as per earlier plans :)
Thanks again !
Just make sure @lextenebris to not be sending any DMs to this "proud CM" if you don't want your conversations leaked to others
I always assumed that anything said via digital communication was infinitely repeatable. It's an assumption that has served me well since before the Eternal September.
It's not paranoia if they are all out to get you.
Well... not all... but if you can't trust a colleague, who can you trust? Right?
Mistake one: trusting colleagues.
Mistake two: thinking that you should trust people.
Once you get past those two, everything else is easy.
(Seriously, they blow the only serious discovery front end that supports an actual use case for the [text-based] blockchain sky high due to broken internal policies, haven't brought it back online despite sane people having backups, and decided that what they really needed to do was to run a contest to create an anthropomorphic icon rather than to hold off on that until they had a place to put it and invest that time, money, and energy into the actual business of what they purport to do. "Trust" is definitely an issue that they struggle with.)
@lextenebris stop building cases and assumptions without a solid understanding or knowledge of the facts. It just doesn't make sense. On a personal point of view, living without trusting anyone, is sad, to say the least. I wouldn't advise that to anyone.
Well, I'm sorry to disagree here, but @lextenebris can have his say on Steemit as anybody can. And regarding knowledge of facts or a solid understanding: he's probably reacting to the explanatory articles posted by @utopian-io. So if you feel he's uninformed, then inform him better.
@scipio I am very well aware of what happened and I am sorry for that, but I think your reaction against mcfarhat is a bit harsh. I don't think he wanted to harm you personally, but that's just my point of view. Said that, i am just referring to sentences about "trust" and our issues with "trust". Clearly saying anything like this without a direct involvement on the recent facts looks audacious to me. You are very well aware of what happened and how and yes we could have problems with "trust" now but I don't think advising to never trust anyone in life is a solution.
The multiple layers of communication and topics in this thread is staggering. I'm sure most people will have a hard time to follow.
Are you well aware of what happened? Then that's kind of a double moral for a CEO, if I may say so. Your CM leaked personal info. Yet you condemn the person who's info was leaked. Something that made you take actions against innocent others two days before in a situation that affected you, and your brand name.
And regarding "trusting nobody", and your public comment you just sent to @lextenebris. I have a DM from you in which you state "something different" again. But I'm not like your CM, I won't leak it. Don't worry.
