Ended Content Strategist and anyone else who cannot reply to questions...GONE!

[Gerrald]

I hope everyone reads this and decides their vote according to how they think the DAO should work. @LeacyMcK is refusing to answer anything on the forum and openly saying she will not speak here and to join her on discord to discuss. The problem is there are many people banned including my self from the discord for calling out poor performance. THIS IS NOT HOW A DAO SHOULD WORK. We should all be equal, know what's going on, expect performance reviews shared so we can see who's pulling their weight and who isn't.

If you want to put a proposal in and ask the masternode owners to vote on it so you can get paid, you should expect questions and criticism. She mentions its happened every other month...maybe that is because of poor performance and answers are required?

IF you cant take criticism then the DAO is not for you. IF you cant be bother to reply and even lock your thread so there is no accountability then the DAO is not for you and you SHOULD/WILL be voted out.

Its bad enough the amount of us that have called out poor performance are banned from discord but now the forum gets no replies.

Canadian Leftards.

I hope all other master node owners read this and vote accordingly. This is about accountability and free speech. We are a DAO, the masternode owners control the budget. Cant take questions or criticism? CLEAR OFF!

Re: "The problem is there are many people banned including my self from the discord for calling out poor performance."

Nope. Not true. You are contradicting even yourself! You have said you were banned for having different views. This also is not true. You were banned for being 'that guy' constantly. You kept bringing your same ideas over and over and over and over, that were refuted based on facts and logic. Never did you bring any new supporting facts or logic for your ideas. You just got louder and louder and louder. Same for the other 2 people. There was a 4th who left on his own accord, but probably would have been banned too.

Re: "THIS IS NOT HOW A DAO SHOULD WORK."

No one has the right to attack people personally, or dox people, or make racist comments. You have done all 3, and attack people constantly. Even while making note of Tweets from random people as being mean, you feel you somehow have the right to be mean yourself (beyond mean actually, vitriolic even). THAT is not how a DAO works. That is how a project is destroyed.

Re: "If you want to put a proposal in and ask the masternode owners to vote on it so you can get paid, you should expect questions and criticism."

Yep. But, not ignorant attacks. The governance system was designed thinking the more MNs a person owned, the more research and due diligence they would put into their decisions. Unfortunately, you are not doing that. As such, your actions hurt PIVX.

Re: "She mentions its happened every other month...maybe that is because of poor performance and answers are required?"

Actually, that's for you to answer, because it is you that schedules the attacks. Also, it is you that refuses to listen to the answers provided. So, what's the point of giving them? Hence, the block.

Re: "If you cant take criticism then the DAO is not for you."

But that's not what we are talking about. You do NOT provide constructive criticism. You just attack. You insult. You act purely on emotion.

Regardless of the fact that being nice and providing constructive criticism is the professional way forward, you have to admit that the 'talent pool' gets WAY WAY smaller if we add this requirement that they put up with your antics. Why chase good people away? If you really think we need a better person for any given role, why not create an environment that attracts that person? Who knows how many valuable people for various roles, checked us out, saw your attacks, and left without even saying hello.

Re: "IF you cant be bother to reply and even lock your thread so there is no accountability then the DAO is not for you and you SHOULD/WILL be voted out."

Well, my view, is that if you can't act professionally, then you should be banned from the Forum too. Obviously we can't stop you from voting the way you want, but this bully and crybaby stuff has got to stop. So, if I had a vote, it would be that you should immediately be banned from the forum. Especially since Jeffrey is working on many listings, and they do their Due Diligence on PIVX as part of the acceptance process. We don't need them seeing your insanity.

Re: "Canadian Leftards."

That comment speaks volumes and justifies everything I just said about you above. Thank you.

Re: "I hope all other master node owners read this and vote accordingly."

I hope they do too! But, before they do, I hope they read the extensive detailed reporting LeacyMcK provides, such as this single example update: https://forum.pivx.org/threads/content-strategist.2340/page-2#post-6437

After doing their own Due Diligence, I expect that MNOs will see where the real issue lies, and will cast their votes to support LeacyMcK.

Re: "This is about accountability and free speech."

Yes, this is about accountability. LeacyMcK has reported out in great detail. However, NO, this is NOT about Free Speech. It is important for you to realize that Free Speech is the right to articulate opinions and ideas without interference, retaliation or punishment from the GOVERNMENT. We are a DAO, and not a Government. Regardless, there are things you can't say, even under Free Speech. You can't yell 'Bomb!' in a crowded movie theater etc. Wikipedia describes limits to Free Speech as;

"Freedom of speech and expression, therefore, may not be recognized as being absolute, and common limitations or boundaries to freedom of speech relate to libel, slander, obscenity, pornography, sedition, incitement, fighting words, hate speech, classified information, copyright violation, trade secrets, food labeling, non-disclosure agreements, the right to privacy, dignity, the right to be forgotten, public security, blasphemy and perjury. Justifications for such include the harm principle, proposed by John Stuart Mill in On Liberty, which suggests that "the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others"."

Re: "We are a DAO, the masternode owners control the budget."

This is true. If you wish, you can vote down a valuable proposal, just because you don't like someone. You don't need proof they are doing a poor job, and you can ignore proof they are doing a great job. You can vote down a proposal because it contains ONE trivial thing you disagree with, even if the remainder provides excellent value to PIVX. I imagine that every MNO has something they don't like about every proposal. So, following your logic, all proposals should be voted down. The question you should ask yourself though is; What does that achieve? The answer is that it hurts PIVX, and that includes yourself.

You should review a proposal, ask questions politely and constructive criticism. Your feedback may or may not be incorporated. Then, you can review the net value of a proposal (Things you value - things you don't) and decide if adds value to PIVX or not. Then vote accordingly in the best interest of PIVX.

Re: "Cant take questions or criticism? CLEAR OFF!"

That is classic projection. Every single proposal author has proven over and over again, that they can answer questions and accept constructive criticism. You on the other hand, have refused to accept you can't always have what you want. I have accepted it. Why can't you? No one should be expected to put up with the abuse you dish out.

You have been at this for something like 3 years. Maybe a lot longer. Probably time to try a new approach. Good luck.

 

[Gerrald]

Thanks Eric for whatever you have said. I skimmed over it but you cant prop her up for much longer. If it was up to you id be banned from the forum? Your Canadian. I understand you don't know free speech but whatever. I have not been insulting in anyway. Leftard is a political slur that only the left find offensive. You can call me a rightard if you wish. Doesn't bother normal people. I have posted on twitter with an account of pretty much 0 followers. No crypto people just random bot accounts. I have got more views in 30 mins than most of @SiggeB @Elenac on Spanish who have posted for hours...I cant comment on the PIVX accounts because they hardly happen. last one was 7 hours ago. I suspect I will have more views by the morning than this post and PIVX supposedley has 72.3k followers . The bot accounts need clearing out so we can actually see what growth is happening. I have used hash tags that are not pure PIVX related so it 100% works. I have been saying this for years now and I am sick of it. The social media manager doesn't have a clue and she's only propped up by you @Eric_Stanek . Lets put an end to this now after the 3 years I have been on about it and accept maybe I do talk some sense?

Lets see how the votes go anyway. Again though you don't help her but whatever, she is your friend and you stick up for friends so whatever. Maybe time to cut the cord on friendship and business though...they don't mix.

[Gerrald]

BTW @SiggeB @Elenac that wasn't a dig at you. Just showing that hash tags are important. You both post and reply to posts a lot more than the original channels. There needs to be someone involved that knows how socials works...NOT a placed friend of a majority masternode owner. My simple hashtag from an account with 0 followers bar the "hey baby can we talk" bots has proven that hashtags do make a difference with views which I have been saying for years yet get shut down as is apparent from @Eric_Stanek always trying to.

Re: "If it was up to you id be banned from the forum?"

Yep. You only seek to hurt PIVX.

Re: "Your Canadian. I understand you don't know free speech but whatever. I have not been insulting in anyway. Leftard is a political slur that only the left find offensive."

There is a lot to unpack there. First, it is "You're" not "Your".
Of course I understand Free Speech. I spelled it out for you above. If you are suggesting it is because we are slowly losing our Free Speech here in Canada, let's not forget what country you are from, and that the UK is WAY WAY ahead of us on that one. Besides, that has nothing to do with you and I as individuals.

Just like the USA, when the election happens here, you can expect a landslide against the current government in favor of Conservatives. Calling all Canadians 'Leftards' is discrimination and wrong. I find it hypocritical and ironic, that you miss that point, and state discrimination is not offensive.

Re: "I have posted on twitter with an account of pretty much 0 followers. No crypto people just random bot accounts. I have got more views in 30 mins than most of @SiggeB @Elenac on Spanish who have posted for hours"

Yes. The bots are bots. Zero value, but they do 'view' your posts quickly.

Re: "I cant comment on the PIVX accounts because they hardly happen. last one was 7 hours ago."

Yes. As explained to you MANY MANY times, the @_PIVX account is for 'major' posts that people who want to keep track of official important things, can follow. But, that account is NOT meant to bombard those people with tons of posts every day. So, the 'hardly happen' comment is correct, but BY DESIGN. The multiple daily posts is what @PIVXcommunity is for, where I see a combined total of 16 Posts and Replies. I don't have the time to track other days to know if that count is typical. Also, it is my understanding that there is more engagement when X posts are made early in the day.

Re: " I have used hash tags that are not pure PIVX related so it 100% works. I have been saying this for years now and I am sick of it. "

This point has been addressed with you too in the past. This is a perfect example of you not accepting well supported answers. Not going to answer it again for you.

Re: "The social media manager doesn't have a clue and she's only propped up by you @Eric_Stanek . Lets put an end to this now after the 3 years I have been on about it and accept maybe I do talk some sense?"

Well, everyone else disagrees with you. However, no one is perfect, and everyone is replaceable. So, if you can find someone who is trustworthy and can do a better job, then I am all for that. Thanks for agreeing with me that PIVX is a Meritocracy. But, voting out LeacyMcK now, is just plain insane. I wonder if we will lose listings because of it. Definitely many on the team will suffer.

Re: "Lets see how the votes go anyway. Again though you don't help her but whatever, she is your friend and you stick up for friends so whatever. Maybe time to cut the cord on friendship and business though...they don't mix."

I have answered this before too. Everyone in PIVX is my friend. Well, almost everyone. Last time I saw LeacyMcK in real life was something like 6 or 7 years ago. I stick up for her, because I stick up for PIVX, and no one else has the stomach to call you out on your mistakes and failed logic, because they don't want to trigger you to go Kamikaze on their proposals. I can't blame them at all.

It would be good if you started listening to the answers to your concerns. You're starting to act like a Democrat. Also, if you really knew what you were doing in Twitter, you would know I am pro-Trump. Thanks for once again proving you are completely lost in Twitter.

Using the right hashtags and maintaining sustainability on social media platforms is undoubtedly very important. With an account that has zero followers, you can potentially achieve 100–200 views using just 10+ hashtags. I've even seen zero-follower accounts reach 3,000–4,000 views in just 15 minutes by using hashtags like #Tyson and #Jake during Mike Tyson's match.

However, the key point here is this: when managing PIVX's social media accounts, we must follow a specific branding template. For example, consider the 10+ hashtags that PIVX Global, Turkey, or Spain accounts might use in their tweets. Wouldn’t they resemble the posts of troll accounts chasing meme coins?

I agree with you about the impact of hashtags; they are indeed very effective. But based on your statement, such a system seems unfeasible for accounts that truly represent a project.

I can also suggest alternative approaches regarding viewership rates. For instance, I can ensure that a post from the PIVX Global account reaches 20,000 people monthly, costing only $30 per month. But how sustainable is this? A big zero.

I don’t know you very well. I continue to contribute to PIVX, and I notice that you’ve also shown your strength in doing so. Particularly, Leacymyk is someone with strong interpersonal skills, a helpful nature, and excellent work ethics.

From an outsider’s perspective, here’s my observation about you: even if you are completely correct, approaching with unnecessary aggression and withheld information often makes you appear to be in the wrong. However, if the first rule—respect—is followed, you could actually be a beneficial MN owner for PIVX.

From an outsider’s view, the PIVX forum sometimes looks like drama, which may deter others. You are still putting effort into PIVX, but the main problem is that you cannot contribute without causing discomfort to others.

After reading this, it’s natural for you to wonder, "Will they vote no to my proposal?" But to be honest, I’m not very hopeful. Everyone is doing their best. I just ask you to take a month-long break and reflect. Then, express your ideas more effectively, and you’ll see the results.

More likely is it because the form to submit proposals in the core wallet is missing validation, and it crops URLs that are too long. That one was 1 character too long. But, people can find it easy enough.

On social media platforms, sustainability and using the right hashtags for the topic are undoubtedly very important. Even an account with zero followers can potentially get 100-200 views with just 10+ hashtags.

However, if you followed the first rule—the method of respect—you could actually be a beneficial MN owner for PIVX.

Looking at the PIVX forum from the outside, it sometimes resembles a drama, which can be intimidating for others. I still believe that you are making an effort for PIVX, but the main issue is that you can't contribute by offending others.

After sharing these thoughts, it’s natural for me to wonder, "Will they vote no on my proposal?" But honestly, I don't care much. Everyone is doing their best. I kindly ask you to take a break for just one month and reflect. Then, express your opinions in a more constructive manner. You’ll see positive results.

Great to see someone reply on the forum other than Eric. I thought no one checked this. They usually do when the votes go down tho go figure?

Aggressiveness is how you perceive my words. I am a very blunt straight to the point and as I keep saying I am trying to be as diplomatic as possible. I reread over everything I have wrote multiple times and do multiple edits. I mean no aggression to anyone. No insults...but if I see poor performance it gets called out.

You say give it a month? As eric has said I have given this 3 years...I have been the passing vote for multiple cycles now as it has gotten to the point where more say no to this tyranny which if you were around from the start I ALWAYS SAID WOULD HAPPEN. I know 100% eric can pass ANYTHING without my votes and me voting no. That level of control is what has been keeping people in place for years. This now is multiple people voting down proposals month after month but after @Jeffrey or whoever convinces me otherwise I agree to vote yes they pass. I am just the vocal person. I know your "new" to this whole drama. You were not around when the discord days where free speech and people were getting called out multiple times but the leftards blocked that conversation and banned everyone of us. This is all about control, freedom of speech and accountability. A strong message of this is not right should be taken and the only way to do that in the DAO is the masternode owners to vote so I hope we all pull together for this. It could of been done multiple months now but I and multiple people have allowed proposals to pass. This is the final straw when conversations are blocked from a proposal.

Regards your proposal, its not about liking a person or how they are viewed with comments. Its about performance. You have proven yourself, not asking for stupid money and I have heard nothing but good things. Your reporting has been amazing also.

 

[Eric_Stanek]

Borris,

I checked the Twitter account you said you deleted. Your account has 37 followers. Rough count, 14 are porn stars, 20 are bots with zero posts, one is all about Green Tea, one is about preventing the spread of Communism, and 1 is me.

You might want to rethink those hashtags you are using.

 

[Eric_Stanek]

Borris,

Re: "I know 100% eric can pass ANYTHING without my votes and me voting no. That level of control is what has been keeping people in place for years."

This is a flat out lie, that has been proven multiple times. You know this, because you caused proposals to fail, and only because you reversed your votes did they pass. Besides, where is the logic in your comment. If I could 'veto' your votes, I would just do that and ignore the futility of trying to help/make you see your mistakes.

[EDIT] Actually, YOU proved it is a lie by stating above; "or whoever convinces me otherwise I agree to vote yes they pass.".

You're just being an aggressive bully and 'projecting' again.

 

[Gerrald]

porn stars, I WISH! they are bot accounts. Random people trying scam. I said this and I am still getting more views is the point...or did you miss that?

 

[Gerrald]

Borris,

If I could 'veto' your votes, I would just do that and ignore the futility of trying to help/make you see your mistakes.

AND THERE IS THE PROOF. Thank you eric for proving you don't believe in free speech, democracy and the DAO. Why don't you just learn not to get involved and put your shovel away because the hole your digging is getting worse.

You have just shown exactly what I have been saying for years. Your a narcissistic socialist who wants complete control who will shut down any opposing view.

For reference if a proposal was voted down of mine, if I was to put one in for lets say social media. I would accept the view of the DAO.

You would choose to ignore it. Let me reference an earlier post from liquid about what a downvote would mean to him

Voted out? What happens next...

Let's discuss this publicly. How does a dao work when someone is voted out? If your voted out do you continue working with the voted in pivx team? Do you transition someone over to take over your role? Do you relinquish all accounts related to pivx? Do you ignore the vote and continue what...

forum.pivx.org

You have publicly stated before that a downvote does not mean they are voted out just not receiving funding and can still get stay in the position (had a quick browse but cba keep flicking through posts). That wont last long when they are not getting paid and performance would dwindle to the point maybe even you will say enough is enough. There is a circle of you that wont give up control even if everyone in the DAO votes you down. That is ridiculous but soon as funds stop it wont take long to sort that out.

 

[Eric_Stanek]

Borris, there is this thing called REPUTATION. Plus, do you not realize that the algorithm is smart enough to know which accounts are bots or porn stars? Getting the WRONG views can be very bad for an account.

Of course I believe in Free Speech, democracy, and the DAO. I have said nothing to contradict that.

Please, PLEASE, PLEASE keep commenting. I guess you don't see it, but everything you say, damages any reputation you have, and gives me an opportunity to show I am fighting for the Community and PIVX.

 

[Eric_Stanek]

lol. Just realized something. By your logic, me deciding talking to you is a waste of time, and then ignoring you, is anti-Free Speech? Huh? So, 'Free' speech is 'Compelling' me to speak and not allowing me to ignore you if I think that is best? Wow. Just. Wow.

I see all and as I said the votes have shifted the past months as I said they would eventually. Maybe its time to change your view and work with EVERYONE not just your click so we can all progress PIVX together.

 

[Eric_Stanek]

Everyone wants LeacyMcK to do what she does. Just you and an unknown whale think differently. I have no idea who that whale is, so I can't comment on their logic or opinions. But, I have found fault with everything you base your decisions on. Yet, you ignore it all. You offer nothing to support your position other than name calling.

Regardless, even if you are right, we need someone we trust to take the role. No one currently on the team wants to touch the role, because they know they can't possibly fill her shoes, let alone do better. So, then they would have to deal with you.

That means, we're going to have to find someone else first. Nothing you are doing is allowing that to happen. In fact, your constant attacks make it impossible to find anyone else. We are lucky LeacyMcK hasn't left for another project where everyone respects her, and she gets paid better.

Change your approach drastically. It is the only way.

S3v3nH4cks thought he knew better than the DAO, so he left to start Veil. They did $95 in volume yesterday. Jake and friends thought they knew better than the DAO, so they left to start DeVault. They also did $95 in volume yesterday. Then there is SmartCash. They also thought they knew better than the DAO. Yesterday, they did less than $0.01.
I think it was Buer that left to start Cherry Network? Yesterday they did $270 volume.
Then there is PIVX. Last 24 hrs was $6,000,000 volume.

What makes you think you know better than the PIVX DAO?

Why not just go fork the code and start your own coin like the others did?

 

[Eric_Stanek]

How am I not helping LeacyMcK? I am showing you where you are flat out wrong and where you are using failed logic.

Perhaps you mean I am pissing you off, and you want to take it out on her?

You recently asked her questions, and she answered well. Then you went kamikaze and attacked her.

Not cool. Disgusting actually.

 

[Gerrald]

I hardly even read your full posts tbh. It's the same over and over. I say one thing you say the opposite. I don't really care what your view is I am trying to get info and to tell leacy shutting down opposing conversations is not acceptable but I will reply out of common courtesy.

As I have said for years...the socials are lacking, hash tags do work as proven from my 0 follower plus my porn star accounts she can't answer questions, take criticism or recommendations and I have been very diplomatic and thoughtful with my words for months. There's a time to just say enough is enough and i think were there now. Shes not the right person for this role and it's time to step aside. I am not the person to take that role and I don't know who is but it's time to look for alternatives.

Votes decide anyway! I will still be vocal even if she passes because that's how free speech works...but I will accept that she is in the role for the time being.

Late now anyway. Good night!
