Good Day One and All
Regrettably I have to make you aware that the biggest downfall of “our” social platform “Steemit” isn’t plagiarism it is in fact the relentless cyber-bullying perpetrated by certain individuals.
These individuals have independently and unilaterally put themselves in charge of censorship within a social platform. Ask yourself this....
Did you nominate them to provide this “service”?
Did they provide a “White Paper” outlining their intentions?
Has any form of guideline, instructions or manifesto been published for review by the “Steemit” community?
Did you vote or choose to accept their opinions and guidelines relating to their intentions and censorship criteria?
They feel it necessary to downvote, criticise and blacklist; if you are uncertain who these muppets are you should check out the post below.......

You will notice that it’s a very interesting read; you may also notice that it has been “downvoted” to the point where it’s technically been hidden from view!!!
I understand this as I am also the victim of this abuse; and that is exactly what it is.......
Please don’t get me wrong, I am “man” enough to stand by my posts; yes they are plagiarised, ofcourse they are #nsfw. I realise they don’t appeal to everyone’s taste, but don’t view #nsfw posts if you are offended. By the same token all of my “normal” posts are abused too; I can’t seem to get it right!!!!
And, before any “disclosure” occurs I also upvote my posts and comments too! But I’m certainly not in the minority on that front.......
Ofcourse, people are entitled to their own opinions; upvote or downvote that’s everyone’s prerogative. It just strikes me as a little “one sided”, they have no issue voting on their own posts and using their voting bots to upvote and therefore increase the value of the same posts too.
Then there’s the “bull shit” manual curation and upvoting each other’s posts.........
“Let he who is without sin cast the first stone”
WAIT......
I get it now, preaching about reward pool rape, plagiarism and censorship issues; blacklist bollocks......... are we witnessing a steem illuminati??
We all know who these individuals are; we may have even experienced their irresponsible and misguided “justice”. Unfortunately unless we inherit substantial volumes of steem power there is nothing we can do about it!!
Well apart from be the victim of their “daisy chain” abuse whilst they satisfy themselves and each other.......
I guess the biggest test of their/our community will be the success or failure of this post? Resteem, upvote, comment........WHATEVER, it’s your platform as much as theirs so why should we put up with their abuse and bullying?
I don’t for one second assume they would do a similar thing if they were sat next to you?!?!
Remember this is our platform, we are the people that make it happen; so why should we let a “handful” of individuals ruin it and dictate to us how it should be done???
