<html> <p>We had this morning a little chat about <a href="https://twitter.com/GridcoinIRC/status/887906401288429570">this tweet</a>:</p> <ul> <li>"<em>ongoing PR disaster, for at least 4 weeks. One of the core functionalities of #Gridcoin is NOT working reliabily</em>"</li> </ul> <p><br></p> <p>While chatting, I also posted additional details <a href="https://steemit.com/gridcoin/@erkan/which-boinc-projects-were-affected-most-by-the-magnitude-zero-events#@erkan/re-erkan-re-dutch-re-erkan-which-boinc-projects-were-affected-most-by-the-magnitude-zero-events-20170720t084239438z">here</a>.</p> <ul> <li>On request you can have an anonymized log of that from one of the attending participants (A).</li> </ul> <p><br></p> <p>Soon after this chat I noticed, that <a href="https://steemit.com/@erkan">my steemit posts</a> got greyed out:</p> <p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/i2i5qSE.png" width="1226" height="474"/></p> <p>(<a href="http://i.imgur.com/i2i5qSE.png">link to image</a>)</p> <p><br></p> <p>It seems someone is using their power on steemit to downvote/censor my posts which makes them probably disappear from the #gridcoin stream there. I have to investigate what other consequences this involves.</p> <p><br></p> <p>When clicking on it I see:</p> <p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/adfktwu.png" width="1027" height="113"/></p> <p>(<a href="http://i.imgur.com/adfktwu.png">link to image</a>)</p> <p><br></p> <p>And the article itself looks like this:</p> <p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/eHizRHW.png" width="713" height="556"/></p> <p>(<a href="http://i.imgur.com/eHizRHW.png">link to image</a>)</p> <p><br></p> <p>As if that was not enough, it's also "good" to downvote inside the article:</p> <p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/IiYMcZN.png" width="886" height="316"/></p> <p>(<a href="http://i.imgur.com/IiYMcZN.png">link to image</a>)</p> <p><br></p> <p>One of the guys is, how should I call it... a <strong>hypocrite</strong>? (<em>tell me if you find a better term please</em>)</p> <p><br></p> <p>Why, you ask now?</p> <ul> <li>posting himself about <a href="https://steemit.com/gridcoin/@cm-steem/sustained-r-boinc-reddit-censorship-of-gridcoin-and-steem">censorship</a></li> <li>or making Gridcoin polls like: "<a href="https://steemit.com/gridcoin/@erkan/gridcoin-poll-have-you-experienced-the-following-forms-of-hostility-within-the-boinc-community-due-to-the-mandatory-team"><em>Have you experienced the following forms of hostility within the BOINC community due to the mandatory team membership?</em></a>" which had as voting options:</li> </ul> <p><strong>Censorship</strong>, Banned, Thread locked or deleted, Harrassed or I haven't had negative experiences with word of mouth marketing</p> <p><br></p> <p>And now he is just using his "<em>power</em>" to downvote/censor/hush me.</p> <ul> <li>I wonder why he does not reply to what I write there?</li> </ul> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p>So, let's see what posts were actually so "worrisome":</p> <p><br></p> <p><a href="https://steemit.com/gridcoin/@erkan/which-boinc-projects-were-affected-most-by-the-magnitude-zero-events">Which BOINC projects were affected most by the "magnitude zero" events ?</a></p> <ul> <li>an analysis including a table of the superblock effects from the last weeks on our whitelisted projects</li> </ul> <p><br></p> <p><a href="https://steemit.com/gridcoin/@erkan/the-2nd-superblock-in-row-that-made-us-wait-so-long-includes-68-of-whitelisted-boinc-projects">The 2nd superblock in row that made us wait so long (includes 68% of whitelisted BOINC projects)</a></p> <ul> <li>includes also a table showing stuff like superblock creation time, magnitude zero, ... and reasons about why it took so long to create the SB</li> </ul> <p><br></p> <p><a href="https://steemit.com/gridcoin/@erkan/gridcoin-its-troublesome-superblocks-in-the-last-4-weeks">Gridcoin + its troublesome superblocks (in the last 4 weeks)</a></p> <ul> <li>the first graphical analysis showing people the situation about the superblocks and thoughts</li> </ul> <p><br></p> <p><a href="https://steemit.com/gridcoin/@erkan/someone-or-something-is-responsible-for-all-coins-price-drops-could-it-be-erkan">Someone or something is responsible for all coins' price drops. Could it be Erkan ?</a></p> <ul> <li>talking about that the price fall on the market had general causes</li> </ul> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p>I'm still in the process of finding out which other posts/comments were censored like that, and who else joined <a href="https://steemit.com/@cm-steem">customminer</a> in his downvote-adventure.</p> <p><img src="http://i.imgur.com/lsRmCnS.png" width="153" height="286"/></p> <p>(<a href="http://i.imgur.com/lsRmCnS.png">link to image</a>)</p> <p><br></p> <p>In case this gets also downvoted/censored I'll just start a WordPress, ... account where I copy posts additionally, so it's more publically indexable by search engines for people searching things about Gridcoin.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Nice action, customminer (and the others who I will add here soon)</p> <p><br></p> <p>P.S. in case you wonder why I use the gridcoin tag ? Because actual Gridcoin content/analysis got downvoted.</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p>(A) todo: list of people who talked also in the chat</p> </html>
