I think you may have mischaracterized the situation a little. Bernie is trapped by the nomenclature of the platform. What he has done to you is downvote your content. The platform calls that a flag, and has some unrevealed strong attachment to using flag instead of downvote. Now, as a downvoter, Bernie gets to downvote whatever he wants for whatever reason. I think you got his attention because, left unchecked, your ability to bring in the votes would run rampant. The sky was the limit. No doubt you are a master at this craft. If you had been allowed to continue unchecked you had to have threatened stinc, et al's dominance of the reward pool. Putting you in check, imo, is just good crapitalistic practice. If they let you grow until the folks that voted for you got tired of voting for you, you could have ended up with the most influence on the platform. I don't see that as a problem at some point, but in the beginning of the roll out I don't see that stinc, et al, had any choice to do but what they have done. What I would like to see going forward is that you put this unfortunate situation behind you, and continue to put out extraordinary content. Perhaps, if you and Bernie can look past the hard words, this can resolve it's self.

Putting me in check for doing what? Posting like other people? Having less rewards with 3 posts than many top authors do each day and week? If I was making $1k on each post, sure I would stop posting more, as other people have reduced their posting numbers. I tried to post 1x a day and was still flagged in March, so that was dismissed as a reason, especially since it was never even stated, it's always bullshit run around about how I can't keep rewards that are less than others who have higher rewards because of not having enough views, comments, or other excuses. What are these magical rules where some people get to keep their rewards while others who have smaller rewards don't? I started posting 2 weeks ago and the posts were around $300-400 something for 2 posts. Did 2 posts for 2 days. They still got flagged anynways. Look at how many people at that time were making more than $300-400 on their posts and were allowed to keep the rewards. Whatever the rules are, the rules aren't being applied consistently. I have tried to not talk about it, and just post. What did that get me? More flags. Then it got to $0. Being part of something where I'm not treated like everyone else, were I'm mistreated, isn't something that goes well with me. I don;t tolerate that. Is Steemit a place where people have equal opportunity at success? Isn't that what is promoted? If it's not, please sure to tell everyone who comes here expecting a lie. If there are rules, people need to know and they need to be applied consistently. What is the cap for posts and rewards total? $1k? $2k? $500? Why can some people make multiple posts and keep their rewards, while others can't even if they make less overall rewards than other people? Where does this info come from? I've tried to move past it before, in March, as mentioned in my post yesterday that recapped the whole thing. I posted then and was still flagged. I tried again and it persisted. Let me know these rules if I try again. If the rules aren't applied consistently to everyone on the platform, then they aren't really rules of the platform or community, they are just BS that gets selectively applied. Thanks for the feedback. Peace.

I don't know why they have such hard feelings about you, but they haven't hit you as hard as @skeptic, @technocomanche, and @noganoo, they have been shut down for a while. >Being part of something where I'm not treated like everyone else, were I'm mistreated, isn't something that goes well with me. I don't tolerate that. I know the power elites have a poor record for equity with those not of the inner circle. Unless you brown nose tptb you can forget getting enough money to live well on, while the approved folks make bank. I get that, the marbles are theirs. >the rules aren't being applied consistently. So, what to do? I just keep beating my drum, one day the folks will look up and see that the answer was being hidden from them by doublethinc all along.

Indeed, I try to move on but the flags don't stop. So I will keep beating the drum about the issue, no matter how many low-quality-thinking people want to say its just whining, complaining and other attempts to silence the issue from being exposed more and more. Resolving a problem doesn't happen if few are aware of it and few people support it. Thanks for the feedback.
