# Sportstalk got ruined before it even really started...

A few individuals managed to ruin a great idea and new initiative on the Steem blockchain by [@patrickulrich](https://steemit.com/@patrickulrich). He started a new condenser with its own token called SPORTS, that is made for sportslovers, the Sportstalk.social network.
How did these individuals ruin it?

The found a flaw in the design. They managed to edit some posts by them that were almost 7 days old and added the #sportstalk tag. That way they got loads of SPORTS tokens before anyone else and made themselves the whales of this chain, before it really could start. And this really sucks.

I really hope Steem-Engine and [@patrickulrich](https://steemit.com/@patrickulrich) can find a way to solve this, but it will be hard. Because by now they have dumped loads of these tokens on the market which were bought by unknowing people. And then there is the curation rewards on these posts that got paid out to people that upvote those posts. This is also already distributed, and wandering around there. Which also makes them whales in a pond full very small fish.

I am really disappointed about this, and am really pissed that such a great project gets destroyed by some morons, that think they will make a profit, but eventually will end up with a bunch of useless tokens...

I hope Sportstalk.Social gets a fresh new start!

Sincerely,
