I got a reply about the livelihood ruiner adam.
I contacted the discord. The watchers talked about the dbuzz posts. I LITERALLY EXPLAINED WHY NOT TOO LONG AGO. for the umpteenth time. I now make full gameplays, it takes longer to put out there, especially with tech issues. so I need to keep people engaged while they wait. I get people miss posts, but jeez. Someone ran to report me to the hive watchers instead of just talking to me. thanks for ruining my means of supporting myself! (I assume I was reported as I did not get any prior warnings and/or missed them)
I was also accused of using other accounts to vote for myself when this was the only account that I had. I have never owned any previous accounts
they saw some fake accounts vote my post but I have no association with these accounts. I did not buy these accounts, I didn't make any bots or anything. I have zero control over the humans vs bots that vote my post and hive watchers just punished me instead of trying to track whoever made the accounts. If its possible to track who made it
IF I was reported, I have a suspect, maybe someone new to the blog and missed my previous post about using dbuzz to engage the audience because my full games take longer to make, or the ex-follower who harassed me for struggling.
Now instead of ruining my means of support, you could have warned me of the accounts that were bots and how to get rid of them and/or to report them and provided me with the proper info. Idk even knows how to make upvote bots. Even if I wanted to, I don't support bot voting because it's not an actual person and just have a bunch of dead accounts not engaging your content.
I may have to leave for real if Hive Watchers doesn't provide me a fix to the blacklist.
I did say I would make a threespeak video when/if I got answers. It's best to wait until I can get off the blacklist. NO point in posting for them to just take it away over a mistake.
Maybe I should not leave. Stay and fight for better protection maybe better AI to pick up bots.
PEOPLE. It's great you wanna help someone by voting for their post with bots, you are actually harming them. As you can see HW thought I bought those bots to vote my post. Just reblog it, share it on your social media, etc.
so I will not post unless it's updates like this until I am off the blacklist or whatever.
I will still upload and reshare posts
Pro tip, track who owns an account before falsely accusing me of making bots. There has to be a way to track the IP the bots came from or the creation date to match the date the account was made. There has to be something that tells you all of the accounts the person owns.
IF I got a warning. I did not see it. likely it got buried in the loads of alerts I get.
with the exception of updates related to this, no other posts for a while.
Again idk even know how to make bots.
~It's likely going to be a while before this is fixed. I waited a day just for this reply from HW
It will help me out if you can support me on Kofi during this time. You will get early access to my videos.
or you can purchase my wallpapers
it will mean a lot if you can offer your support during this time. Even reblogging will push the post to more people
There is no point in posting on hive until this issue is resolved.
If time zones play a role it will surely be a minute because I am in the US. HW wrote the reply at 5:30am. I am not an early bird.
Hive and steem is shit. Flaging is abused. Instead of protecting the net its a tool for assholes to attack and abuse.
Back in 2018, some guy called cammie dues bots to downvote my posts. took Steemit a good minute to add a system to weed out the bots downvoting
