COMPLAINTS FILED AGAINST STEEMIT

Unfortunately because of a few scumbags like the following members, Steemit's days as a viable forum are quickly coming to an end, because it has essentially turned into nothing more than a cesspool of fraud and corruption, controlled by childish members, porn promoters, and other such low-life human beings.

@themarkymark (AKA @buildawhale)  -  77.6

@bullionstackers  -  71.9

@buildawhale (AKA @themarkymark)  -  74.9

@quarantine (AKA @the-reef / AKA @block-power)  -  61.2

@bookguy  -  61.0

@mack-bot  -  58.8

@the-reef (AKA @block-power / AKA @quarantine) -  54.9

@block-power (AKA @the-reef / AKA @quarantine)  -  25.0

@blockcreate  -  25.0

@steemcleaner  -  1.07

and others.

The Facts: If any of the above members do not like one of more of your posts, comments or replies for any reason, they will not only down-vote that post or comment, but will then go back and down-vote many, if not all of your previous posts and comments (plus any you post in the future), thus reducing your reputation rating to near nothing. A scumbag is a scumbag, but the real problem lies with the idiots who run and control Steemit. Only a bunch of total morons would ever set up a voting system as it now is designed. The main problem is that a higher reputation member can always down-vote a lower-reputation member, which will have a significant impact on the lower-reputation member's rating. The reverse however does not hold. A lower-reputation member can indeed down-vote a higher-reputation member, but unlike the reverse, the lower-reputation member's down-vote has no impact on the reputation of the high-reputation member. It's like it never happened. 

In any event, whoever devised such a system, unfortunately has more than a few marbles missing. But quite frankly, who cares? I am now in the process of powering down my steem (10 weeks to go) so that I can exit this cesspool as so many thousands have done before me. So if the Steemit's management really wanted to create a cesspool of such scumbags, a real haven for porn lovers and other such low-lifes, congratulations! They accomplished that! Steemit will not survive much longer! Of that fact, I am quite certain!   

To all the scumbags here on Steemit: Go ahead, and bring on the down-votes, and perhaps it may help you feel good for a while, but in the long run, it will not fill your otherwise pathetic empty lives.

To all other Steemit Members: I'm sure you have come to realize some of these things, as well as the fact that steem payouts are nowhere remotely close to what they are claimed to be. Only those at the very top of the pyramid get the bulk of the payouts, while the rest of us (the vast majority of us), get virtually nothing.

Please also note that you would be wise to withdraw all your steem from Steemit asap. Official complaints have been filed with the following Government Organizations seeking the shutdown of Steemit: 

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC)
https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/?utm_source=takeaction#crnt&panel1-1 

The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) https://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx 

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)
https://www.fbi.gov/investigate/cyber 

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
https://www.sec.gov/divisions/enforce/claims.htm 

Meanwhile, the best thing you can do to help the Steemit platform, and give it a chance of survival, and if you have a higher-reputation, is to down-vote the above members so if not to get them off of Steemit, at least take away their abusive down-voting power.

I shall and catch some and will show my friends that how how my passing time to steam was very much needed

I think STEEM will take some time before this happens, UNLESS bitcoin suddenly explodes, which I don’t see happening for now . BUT, let’s say, in 1 year or 2 I think there’s a big chance, if everything goes well in this platform and etc. if steem reaches 2 dollars I will be laughing at my friends who didn’t give a sh*t about crypto. Also, I would become rich and stuff would start to get hot in here. Probably I would have to become 100% anonymous and take a definitive step , into the blockchain on every area of my life .

I will continue to hodl until it reaches at least 6.50

🤣🤣🤣.... Good Question....
I don't know what I will do...

I think about this alot. Part of me would power down and take my money from 2 years of working ass off here. But really, there'd always be the greed factor - if it goes to 2, what if it goes to 3? or 7? Or 10? Highly unlikely. I think maybe half half would do it - power half down, invest half and keep going. 

$5 dollars is my mark for selling some of my stake. It will never be all of it but at $5 i would sell a few thousand to guarantee a profit and keep building as always. Try to earn it back as fast as possible. It would be ideal to be at the stage of $10 STEEM and being able to earn maybe 50 STEEM a week to sell and not have to touch your SP at all. That's the real dream.
