Have you noticed something like this?
For the past couple of days this happens each time you claim some rewards or you reload your steemit page and i have been trying to find out if this is an isolated case or general. Either ways, this is a scary sight seeing your Reputation go all the way down to 25 at a glance without any warning or caution.
It took me the whole of yesterday to try and find out what is going on, in had to talk to one of my team members about this creepy sight on my page then we resolved experimenting on @steem-lagos page and viola; i wasn't alone in this struggle!
Thoughts flooding my mind when i first noticed this on Thursday was; did i offend any Whale, Dolphin or a community? Or maybe i have dropped some obscene comments somewhere that is now haunting me?...But i have not been commenting a lot recently, i have been too tired to read so much and my mind keeps telling me maybe i had offend the Steemit gods.......
Friday, this continued but by then i had confirmed it wasn't just me and this occurs both on Mobile device and my Desktop. Strangely i have not seen anyone talking about it or any blog giving insight into this strange Reputation "Zapping". By now, as at the time of writing this post i am revealed and no more alarmed because i thought i have been hacked or flagged.
My Steemit Nightmares!
I fear Flags, in fact my one of my fearsome Steemit Nightmare is waking up and finding my Reputation in the deficit.
I have learnt to keep low profile, never to spam and Memo-spam/summon, i have vowed never to get caught in crossfire of Whales or Dolphin Civil wars and most especially i have mastered the act of Referencing any borrowed ideas and not steal them; this things brings several flags down on you or anyone (Take wild Note of this if you are a Newbie). If you can abide by this rules, then you must panic just like i did when you see your Rep go way down.
Now that the word is out, maybe someone else is experiencing this as i am; but i am 500% sure it's just a glitch and the SteemDevs has spotted it and working on it. My technical Know-How in things like this is practically Zero, otherwise i would have suggested some possible solutions. But knowing there a able minds and capable brains are working behind the scene, fixing so many cracked and about to break things gives me more hope and confidence in Steem. Not just that, the Price of steem gives me further hope into a Future filled with Success stories through Steemit!
