This is a badass space, don't get me wrong. Most folks I've encountered here on steem have been quality people. But there's some that make me wish I had a million SP to downvote the hell out of them.

Here's a quick list of the top three things not to do if you care what little old Nate thinks about you. Also a small list that'll help plankton. Like me.

3. Upvote begging

>Hello mister quality poster man, I upvoted you. Pls do upvoting me and follow for maybe to receive more upvotes. ![DKUR9Tk.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQma1hwcHd6EjecGiaAqsaHUCLYWbuYtrmTT48ufY4gf7Fg/DKUR9Tk.png) Not how it works fam. Go be annoying somewhere else. I've actually gone on tirades before and found a dummy that upvoted one of their stupid begging comments and downvoted it just to make sure.

2. Stupid memes, off topic titles, and no writing

You've seen the posts. Title: so funny Post: stupid picture of a snowman getting slapped by an alligator. Tags: #funny Overall: effing dumb. Go away. If you hate it too, go here to blow your top. Grrr.

1. SELF UPVOTING!

Call me a terrible person, but if I find a post that's got a high value and I see the author's name in the list of votes, I don't vote for it. You have enough support from yourself. You don't need mine. Even if it's a bomb ass post. If you're a whale that can upvote your self into trending, why not just make 10 posts a day with the word "the" and upvote it? You don't need support. You don't need votes. You've got you and you're all you need. That's a huge pet peeve of mine. You upvote your comment on my post? I don't upvote it. End of story. Relevance is quality. Relevance earns its own support.

Stay relevant

Nate
