I'm Being Downvoted

2021-0301- Monday - 09:56 AM - Discord Regarding Hive Blog

I was placed on a spam list. @hivewatcher and @spaminator are downvoting at least eleven times due to me trying to introduce myself to new people. But some people think I repeat myself in what I write. I try not to but I run into so many people. This happens once a year on Hive Blog and before on Steemit. Every year since 2017, a bunch of bots and people downvote and flag me and call me spam. And every year, I go onto Discord and everywhere else to let people know that I am being downvoted for alleged spam.

This is one of the reasons why I still prefer Facebook at times.

@spaminator is downvoting and flagging every single post and comment of mine on Hive right now. I am not spam. This is very bad. I will have to write articles about this abuse on me. And this does NOT encourage people to join and use Hive. It makes people run away, especially people like me who have invest almost five years on this network.

@Spaminator | @hivewatcher

Hive Watcher @hivewatcher left me this comment, "Spamming comments [in this case on female profiles] is frowned upon by the community. Continued comment spamming may result in the account being Blacklisted."

Because people who are not spam can be labeled as spam like I am each year for the past almost 5 years now.

But this is not the first time I was reported.

This tells me not to say hello to new users ho Hive Blog.

Because when I say hello to new people, I get attacked like this every time.

That is why I shared that post here.

I was reported for saying hello to people who are in the Introduce Yourself hashtag.

When you first meet new people, you may repeat yourself, that is small talk for you.

I already processed for the appeal last year.

I am protesting for being mislabeled.

And I am very angry.

Will I be downvoted by @Spaminator forever?

Or will @Spaminator come back in 12 months to downvote me some more like they generally do each year to me?

@thekittygirl#7285 But I did process for an appeal last year and the year before that and the year before that.

So, I try my best not to repeat the same exact comments.

Will @Spaminator downvote me forever?

I try to welcome new users and then I am placed on the blacklist for spam. So, then I have to hide in a corner. I am tired of being abused for trying to encourage people from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, to join Hive Blog. I get punished for trying to encourage new people to join Hive Blog.

@Spaminator is spam-flagging me right now. Every comment and post is downvoted.

Hive Watcher @hivewatcher left me this comment, "Spamming comments [in this case on female profiles] is frowned upon by the community. Continued comment spamming may result in the account being Blacklisted."

This is telling me not to welcome new users to Hive Blog. It is also encourage me to rejoin Tron Overlord Justin Sun of Steemit who is like the Devil but is at least better than this. This makes me angry.

Why won't you tell somebody?

I did, I do, I try, many times. But this happens every year. Didn't you read this post? The only way I get out is by exposing how I am being attacked and abused for things I am innocent of. I am not spam. But they say I am spam for commenting on new posts from new users who join Hive Blog, some who are female. So, they're being sexist. @hivewatcher is being sexist.

Welcome to March

10:31 AM - PeakD

I don't know about Saint David. I would love to know about that. I love the balloon. I wonder if the Earth Hour holiday is the same as Earth Day. This comment I am writing will be downvoted by @spaminator and @hivewatcher who put me on a spam list. I don't copy and paste the same messages unlike you. I don't care what you write. That is not my point. But this happens each year.

I am being persuaded not to invite people to join Hive and not comment as I can be then attacked just for commenting on accounts. I am being encouraged to post about what is happening. I feel this is abuse.

@foxkoit#4346, I leave comments on a new user's first post with the introduceyourself hashtag and I do this monthly or a few times randomly. I sometimes write longer comments and sometimes shorter messages to the new person. It depends on the day and a variety of things. I use my gut, my intuition, in determining how much I write as time is money and money is time. So many factors to consider and it is very random. I was told I'm not allowed to compliment people's eyes.

So, if I told you I like your hat, are you going to call the cops and get me locked up for harassment?

I was told in their Discord I can't compliment people because that is harassment.

I went to their Discord and they said I can NOT compliment people on Hive Blog.

All I can do is NEVER EVER leave comments on Hive Blog ever again, not even to my own brother.

And that is the lesson I learned here, do NOT leave comments, do not welcome new users, do NOT compliment people, do not invite people to join Hive Blog.

And I already shared these screenshots in a new post.

@crimsonclad#6006, the conclusion to this story is I will be downvoted forever and I will no longer comment on people's posts ever again and I will sometimes write posts about this once a month or so.

@foxon#3456, you are RIGHT, I am COLLUDING with @Hivewatchers-Helper#5419 to get people to visit my blog, this is JUST a publicity stunt, Hive Watcher will NEVER admit to this because all the money I paid him to play as an actor in this play of mine. All of this is fake. Hive Watcher and Spaminator are not really FLAGGING AND DOWNVOTING ME TO HELL RIGHT NOW.

You said I mostly write to women with creepy compliments like how one girl looked like Harry Potter. Put me in prison for calling her Harry Potter. I am a bad man.

So, I have learned my lesson.

I will NOT leave comments of any kind.

Because any comment MIGHT be harassment to somebody.

Steemit looks better at the moment.

Steemit looks better at the moment.

I added all the screenshots that @Hivewatchers-Helper#5419 included in my latest post and so did he in a comment on Hive Blog, this is not private.

No matter what I comment, you guys come in like NAZIS.

I will no longer be interacting in the comments on Hive Blog because they deem me a terrorist.

@Foxon downvoted my childhood homeschooling journal, photos from when I was eleven years old, I consider that child-abuse for such an attack, for the flags on a kid with glasses with extreme autism.

He said I will be placed on a permanent blacklist.

Comment spamming on Discord or on Hive Blog? And it is not spam.

I have not comment on Hive Blog today.

@dm312#9176, you are telling me I cannot compliment your hair.

You are telling me that compliments are creepy.

So, I have vowed not to comment on Hive Blog.

So, I promise not to leave comments on Hive Blog ever again.

Because any comment can be considered spam no questions asked.

And you pushed me into a corner.

There is actual nudity and sex on Hive Blog but I am the creepy person for saying I like a girl's glasses.

Oh, Oatmeal Joey Arnold raped me by complimenting on my smile, call 911, he is stuck inside my head now.

I have no choice.

No matter what I write, you NAZIS find me and call me a creep for complimenting random people who join Hive Blog.

Out of literally thousands of things I write on Hive Blog, you find a few things which you find offensive.

You are making a subjective argument regarding the value of a comment. That is subjective like art, it is in the eye of the beholder.

You are being retarded.

@Hivewatchers-Helper#5419, you want me to scroll up and copy and past and/or screenshot things you already said, things you already know as you wrote it, and paste them here?

@crimsonclad#6006, I was banned from the Hive Watcher Discord. He said I needed to provide evidence that he said what he said. I said to him that he knows what he just wrote a few seconds earlier. He said he gave me a path towards redemption to avoid being placed on a permanent blacklist. He said I blew it because I was unable to quote or screenshot the evidence. But I did multiple times on Discord and in several posts on Hive Blog. He continues to lie about me while saying I'm lying about everything. So, I cannot even appeal this blacklist. I will be downvoted and flagged on Hive Blog until the end of time. And that will only encourage people to move back in with Justin Sun's Steemit. I don't get it. Justin is starting to look like the good guy here. That is the irony in all of this.

It is a slippery slope.
Others can jump on the downvote bandwagon.
Like a party.

Are you saying I can block downvotes by muting users in communities on Hive Blog?

So, I rest my case, I will be downvoted forever.

I don't want to risk having all my comments downvoted on Hive Blog meaning I will not comment and will only post.

I can ignore them, but they can still hurt me in the long-run and they can grow over time.

It's like cancer.

I am basically being encouraged to try to upvote every single post in fear of being downvoted.

If somebody hurts you, why would you not complain?

I'm just saying my house is on fire and you are saying that the fire is only spreading very slowly.

My water is in the appealing Discord which I was locked out of.

I'm being told I cannot use the comment section like a chat room or a phone SMS text conversation.

I'm being told that smaller comments bad and larger copypasta comments are acceptable on Hive Blog.

I see giant copypasta comments all the time on Hive Blog from bots. Those comments are allowed and my micro-blogging style comments are frown against.

What I'm trying to say is in regards to why I'm being downvoted and not the downvotes in and of themselves.

My REP is going down, that is the problem. Soon, I will be down to zero. Just today, my reputation points went from 62.8 REP to 62.7 REP. It is only a matter of time. One day, I may wake up and have nothing. Almost as bad as like waking up one day only to find out that the dollar lost over 99% of it's value.

It is about philosophy behind the downvote.

All I know is that my REP went down a decimal in a day.

Because when I leave comments on Hive Blog, I leave short messages like I do here.

A few more people started downvoting me today.

They downvoted a post of my journal I kept when I was 11 years old.

These people are on a crusade against me.

I bring it up because they can go after you tomorrow.

I was accused of mind raping women and I do not like such an accusation.

This has to do with reputation of the mind and not just of the stake. They can scare people away from me with false accusations.

The one thing I can do is simply not to leave comments on Hive Blog for a while or maybe forever. It is hard to say what I will do. Anything can happen. More people could pile on to downvote every single post of mine from now on. That is the scary part. And I don't have enough friends to counter such an attack. That is why I spam all the Discord servers, because I don't have fans. I don't have a following. I am just a lone wolf out in the woods. I have no pack. I jumped onto Discord today hoping that some people would want to counter the abuse. I was hoping people would see I am being downvoted for telling a girl she is like a female Harry Potter. Wow. That is so sexist. That is so evil of me to say. I cannot believe it. I thought more people would want to have my back to say that I have free speech to say bad things but also that I don't think Harry Potter is that bad. Geez, I know I've not watched all the movies, so how the Hell do I know?

You can go to the Discord channel where the appeals are and see the conversation between me and the other person. I already posted 4 articles today about all of it. I included screenshots and quotes regarding the details. So, everything I wrote was published. It is all public. He told me I had to prove that he said what he said. He literally said some things. Then I repeated what he said. And then he was like calling me a liar by saying that I had to quote him. I had to screenshot it all and repeat it again. He wanted exactly what he said verbatim. I summarized what he said and said it back. He was not happy with my summary of what he said as to say that I was putting words in his mouth. He kicked me out of that specific channel on that server where appeals are done in. I was going to do what he asked me to do but was first stating how insane such a request was as I already basically did say what he said. And he already knows what he said because he is the one who said it. But yet he still wanted me to provide what was already provided had anybody simply scrolled up. I included some of quotes and some of the screenshots of what he said on Discord and I posted that to Hive Blog and they were massively downvoted and grayed out.

I was banned on Mastadon.

You power down from HP into Hive and not into HBD. I believe there is no option that I've ever seen to power down to HBD.

@JARVIE#0711, the problem is not bots but individuals who literally find me to flag my comments even in communities meaning there is no way to get away from them.

I understand what you're saying, I don't know how much weight is coming from the different accounts. I'm getting downvotes from around five or more accounts.

The problem isn't the downvotes but the people who are calling me weirdo, a creep, etc. They might as well call me a pedophile, etc.

And people have been mocking me for how I look, how I talk, how I act, what I do, what I say, what I write, what I believe in, how crazy I can act, etc, for many many years all over the Internet, so it is not new to me.

I don't mention things things for many months. And then I do.

They can see what they want to see. They can easily see who I am and what I do. The evidence is all there. Yet, they take me out of context. For example, A day ago, I left a long comment on a guy's post talking about natural remedies in regards to curing Aplastic Anemia. I wrote like ten paragraphs, including links. And I was just getting warmed up. I write all the time. Over 40,000 comments and posts and they want to take me out of context because I sometimes write shorter comments. Not all my comments are books. And some people complain when I write too much. So, I can NEVER make everyone happy. So, then I have to decide whether I want to write too much or too little.

You should stop trolling me.

The definition to these terms, trolling, spam, etc, can be highly subjective in defining, like art, like many things in life, there are so many factors to consider, and I do not troll.

But people get carried away in defining and redefining terms.

Are you saying they are trolling?

If you're talking about them and possible contradictions like you said, I can see that.

Journalists cannot or should not always be silent any more than Edward Snowden or Julian Assange.

Your comments regarding Twitter-style microblogging is part of how I justify my smaller comments.

I may appear to be emotional on the outside, but what matters is what is on the inside. What I have is passion and I do things for complex reasons. But I make it look simple, emotional, reactive, to inspire, to evoke, to get people to think, to trigger, to get people to see things differently, to not be too boring, to red-pill.

I love the Socratic Method of Asking Questions and I do that all the time.

The claims I make are often claims I've been making for years, generally vague but disguised as personal, direct, like an attack on individuals. Accusations I make, claims I make, they are simply my way of trying to illustrate principles, philosophy, things which I want to help teach people as an English Teacher and everything. I love the art of telling stories and take advantage of my own autobiography. I take advantage of how people interact with me in order to help channel and direct people towards seeing bigger and larger issues at hand through the lens of personal drama. Simply put, personal drama doesn't really necessarily matter that much, not necessarily, not always, it depends, and yet it can attract people for a variety of reasons and therefore can be used as an opportunity to teach, to raise awareness, to bring to light deeper issues which can be addressed through parables, stories, illustrations, and I often try my best to even use things that happen to me as disguised parables to help people learn while simultaneously working on archiving my things online. I enjoy multitasking and strongly believe in doing many different things at the same time. So, what I post can have multiple purposes simultaneously. Most things that appear to be personal towards individuals may not really be towards them but instead is being used to help make a point, to make points, to tell stories, to help people see the bigger picture, to help people see what they need to see. And I sometimes don't have the time to help people see what they need to see and yet I always have a strong desire to help people grow in their understandings of the cave shadows as described in that one parable or story told by who was it again, Socrates, Aristotle, or Plato? Oh, I think it was called Plato's Cave. I often feel like I am talking to Plato's Cavemen in life. It can be tough talking to cavemen. But I try my best to communicate with the cavemen. I try to lure them out of the cave with my original green oatmeal.

Even After Ten Thousand Years

09:50 PM - Hive

People are awesome when you least expect it, they come out of nowhere to lend a helping hand, I've seen and I've done it. Sometimes, you have to be open to the possibilities. Just give it a try.
