RE: Global Blacklist API Proposal

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

You simply sit there and mock/laugh at people asking for resolution

Eg.

A channel called "Blacklist - bring popcorn"
When you reply to appeals with memes

_{Just a couple of examples..}

...I may be wrong but I perceive this as mocking / bullying / abuse of power.

People may have put a lot of effort into their accounts and like nothing they become useless thanks to @badcontent bot that (used to) start spamming every user on your blacklist and condemning them in its auto-comments in the same bucket as scammers. And at the same time the auto-comments were promoting your bidbot. Not very ethical IMO.

@iamstan put a good word for me and you finally turned it off but @gasaeightyfive still remains blacklisted.

I know that you generally don't like free resteemers. But IMO they:

Allow minnows to have a chance to get seen (I used them a lot myself when I started and was getting 0 payout)
Prevents new accounts from starting their own paid resteem service for absurd prices (new users may fall for them). Mine keeps the price free (and next to nothing for subscriptions).

And again, it never spammed accounts. It only auto-commented on its own posts, on post of users that subscribed and were ok with it, on other free resteemers posts.

How can we resolve this then? Thx

The bot never promoted the bid bot, and it clearly said it was one of these reasons.

Resteem services don't do anything, no one follows them to find content, it is mostly bots and auto follows. Such snake oil.

If I remember correctly, you were spamming another resteem service you were fighting with.

As for memes, I rarely drop them and when I do it's when a plagiarizer or spammer is pretending to be something else while begging over and over to be taken off the list. Resteem from a big account holder, sure that might do something but from a bot, lol.

Correct, but a new user that never heard of @buildahwale will click on it and found out about your paid service. So IMO, it is somehow promoting it.

one of these reasons

Exactly, so since you did not specify which one, new users were likely thinking I was a thief or something.. not cool.

you were spamming another resteem service you were fighting with

Yes, we were spamming each other and eventually @iamstan helped me out. But you blacklisted only me, not fair. And you never said the reason of the blacklist so I find out only now 2 years later. Not nice.

Resteem services don't do anything

Well, let the users decide, no?
When I joined steemit I start using those free services myself and finally got some visibility.
I decided to keep helping others for cents. Kept doing so, invested 3 grand and never withdrew.
And I have 1 grand ready in a BTCSTEEM trade in the order book. I care about Steemit and I think that you do great things for these platforms but should improve your blacklist logistics.

@themarkymark
Any update on this?

I found and sent to @guiltyparties 123 leaked private keys found in the STEEM blockchain:

Am I still a scumbag or does @gasaeightyfive finally qualify for removal from your blacklist?

Don't like themarkymark either? This bot downvotes everything themarkymark posts. Help by delegating:

5 | 10 | 20 | 50 | 100 | 500 | 1000

Unvote themarkymark for witness here

"I've never seen anyone leave such a long trail of blazing dumpster fires. I now believe the wreckless downvoting and blacklisting of thousands of accounts by themarkymark et al is the SOLE reason the price of Steem continues to fall. I didn't even make the photo for this post. That's right, I found it online. Fucking amazing."
