Introduction
Most of the users on Steem are not aware that somewhere in the dark or behind the scenes, we have a Steem police. People believe you can post anything or act freely without any consequence.
On the contrary, even in a decentralized network, you have some rules to respect. Otherwise, Steem will be the land where chaos and darkness will remain forever!
My evil experience
This week it was a painful one with this service and they spam my contents five or six times. You know, I had never had any problem with them in over 18 months.
The process is straightforward and if someone judges your content is inappropriate, or someone does not like you for whatever the reason. It can anonymously send a report to Steemcleaner and the team will investigate the case.
The dark force will put a message with an appropriate comment of what they believe is wrong. You need to act or otherwise, they will put Cheetah on you. You want to avoid that if you want to build a brand on Steem.
The darkness Discord channel
If you believe the message is wrong, you have the option to open a dispute and discuss the case with a moderator. Personally, I find the people there are not respectful and I had a bad user experience with them.
Even if they have a lot of delegation from Steemit to make this blockchain a better place. It is not cool to make you feel you have committed a crime.
Anyway, even if I feel angry with them and I find this service useless personally. I don’t want to start a fight and to be a target because my aim is to build a brand and be here for the long-term. The last thing I want is to lose my precious time with a dispute with them.
What I did
You see, even if I don’t appreciate their messages and find this service boring. At least, a questioned myself of what wrong with my content and what I can do to fix the situation.
What I found, it is simply to change my behavior and improve the quality over doing quick posts that has no real meaning. We know that the proof of brain protocol is like a pickaxe where you want the most from the reward pool and growth your account.
I decided to change my content or at least modified a few parameters and then evaluate the result.
Change is good
I see that as an opportunity and I believe you can learn something from each event. I change my approach to improve the quality of my content that will benefit Steem and me in the long-run.
Change is not always easy to embrace and even less when dark forces are over your head. The positive side is you know a service exists out there where you can improve your behavior or change the direction.
Last Thought
You know, mysterious police that we call Steemcleaner is working in the dark and can make you angry if you don't follow the hidden rules. The best part is your content can be improved or punished if you do not comply with them!
Losing payment is something you want to avoid at any cost. In the meantime, try not to put them against you, even if we don’t like them. 😉
