Good day Hivers. In this post I'll talk about my blacklisting experience on the hive community and consequently make an apology to the hive community.
Here it goes.
MY BLACKLISTING EXPERIENCE
For close to a month now, precisely 22days, I have remained blacklisted on hive. Two of my posts were tagged as spam by the @hivewatchers, as reported in the June 422 reports
The @hivewatchers informed me about the above mentioned posts as been spams and as something the hive community is against because it's considered as a abuse of the hive reward pool. At the time I took it as a warning because it was stated in the comment that I refrain from such going forward or risk being blacklisted. It was not until 2days later, when I received a downvote on a post I made that I realized I had already been blacklisted.
Now, the obvious thing to do was to appeal the blacklisting but then I was informed it had to be a "discord appeal". At the time a lot of factors, and even now, prevent me from downloading the discord app and signing up. So I decided maybe I could live with the "little" downvotes I received.
But this morning I woke up to a something that gave me shivers to the spine. I received an overwhelming downvote on a post that was to pay out today. It was then I realized something had to be done.
So I did a little research on blacklisting on the Dapp and how other blacklisted users went about it and it was then I saw a few "apology posts" to the hive community. And although they mentioned in their posts that they had done the discord appeal and instructed in this manner but I still don't have the levity to be on the discord and for reasons beyond my control.
But for all it's worth I will go ahead to make a formal apology to the hive community. Like they say, "there's no harm in trying. I do hope the @hivewatchers find this appropriate enough, otherwise I might have just kicked myself out of the hive community.
MY APOLOGY TO THE HIVE COMMUNITY.
I am guilty of the abuse of spamming, no excuses at all, and I recognize that it is against the rules of the use of the Dapp. I also recognize that it was a form of abuse of the reward pool of the hive community and commend the tiredless efforts of the @hivewatcher initiative in ensuring that all form of abuse on the community are well delt with.
I hereby apologize to the whole hive community for my act of spamming and promise to do better going forward.
Thank you all as I anticipate forgiveness from you all.
