Compulsive
Lazy
Ass
Voting
Syndrome
It is plaguing Social Media. Blind voters are just running rampant and in some cases voting up viruses. Yeah that's right, I noticed that going on the past week. Let me set the stage for you.
Over the past few days I have noticed different users popping up in places they shouldn't be on Mixx.com. These NEW users are somehow getting into the lounge, with shitty content. Now Mixx is relatively new as a Social Media site and makes for what some see as an easy target. What these spammers, link baiters, and pornographers weren't counting on is Mixx's devoted following. Super Mixxers will not tolerate that shit, period.
Now some see Mixx as a game, and that's fine, play all you want. But with any game, or sport, you play responsibly. By responsibly I mean watch where you fire your voting arrows. Now I know I have bitched and groaned about this before, but this is really starting to get not only on my nerves, but a few other people as well.
Honest_Ape from HonestApe.net says:
"Blind voting isn't helping your friends. It's helping your karma and helping ruin Mixx. Every time you vote for a spam article or a broken link, you make a shit post that much more likely to show up on the popular page and waste my fucking time. And then other blind voting lemmings see a lot of votes so choose to also vote. Next thing you know, the front page is filled with links to an assortment of 404 pages, spam sites and similar worthless shit. You want more karma? Try to fucking post more. You want more karma? Vote for the good articles and spend a few extra minutes finding the good articles instead of voting for every submission. And, above all, quit wasting my fucking time."
cGt2099 from the-Trukstop, WallabyDown, DayoftheJedi, and Social Blend Says:
"I have nothing against our social media brethren with sight difficulties. These blind voters are model citizens. Wait... oh, you're talking about those who vote without looking at the story? I think we're all guilty of LAZY-ASS Voting. But Compulsive Lazy-Ass Voting is the real problem. "Both of these users are Super Mixxers and corner stones of the Mixx community.
For those Super Mixxers and fans of Mixx.com, I have this to say to you. Think of Mixx and yourself as founding fathers, or mothers. Mixx is the site we love. Much like John Adams love the thought of a country free from English rule. It is up to us as Super Mixxers and fans of Mixx, to report this kind of intolerable BS on Mixx, so we can help make it a better place. Now I am not saying go out on a bury spree. Report the CRAP to feedback@mixx.com or hit the report button.
Another way to combat this is not blindly follow everyone that "Thinks your cool and really know you way around the web". Check their history first. This is a good way to tell if these users are trying to game you, or are actually genuine users.
So let me put this the bast way I know how . GET YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR ASSES AND WATCH WTF YOU ARE DOING!
