RE: When you realise the Police are Trolls

in #steempolice7 years ago

What are they? Well, we have etiquette but aside from that, the only rules are the ones embedded into the code. Here, if a rule is to be introduced, it needs to be coded into the consensus mechanism. Moral principles aside, without definitive ruling on the matter, those who try to enforce non self-voting (despite doing it themselves) are just being bullies pushing people around.

Got a glitch here. It's true that it's "code is law", that is, only what is technically permitted by the blockchain can be done. The so-called enforcement of certain principles happens only by argument and down votes, both permitted by the blockchain. So you contradict yourself here.

TLDR; all flags are legal.

Got it! Thanks for the correction!

Transparency is also legal. Words are free and a part of freedom. The Code also allows people to see and write about the things that they find.

This is an experiment that is in beta, so having a discussion about what is working and what isn't is an extremely legit use of the site. There are still hardforks being done so we can adjust how the reward system is working and tweak it.

I have mixed feelings about the whole situation, but after reading this post, filled with bitter blame and deflection. And only looking at the part of the code that benefits your side of the story... I am just surprised you wouldn't have more respect for the platform and the rest of the community than you have shown here.

Gosh, even Walden didn't come across as bitter or mad.

Not very grateful for someone this highly rewarded.

No problem whatsup, you and I have differing opinions and that's exactly what you're talking about when words formulate the semantic layer not enforced by the code but rather by the people who operate on the chain.

I wonder if you investigate everybody in the same way. I think it is healthy!

What is sad to me, is that the content on this account wasn't promoted. It is actually pretty decent.

Too bad the accounts weren't just upvoted when they posted instead of on the 6th day and then it is unlikely any of this would have received much attention at all.

It is sad that after receiving Ned's support the accounts were managed in a way that reflects poorly on ned and steem. It is just very disappointing.

While I agree that stake is stake and can be used as a person would like to use it... How we appear to investors matters.

By the way, if I were a person who managed this network. I would be likely to shut up and hope it blows over instead of trying to play the victim.

That's just me.

Thanks whatsup, at least you view things with a balanced perspective. I appreciate the small props btw.

Also I agree, I used to have more followers when she used to upvote my posts straight away.

I agree with @whatsup that your content is good. I hope that you can get more exposure. I believe many people would be interested in this post and quite possibly many of your other posts as well.
