RE: Steem Flag Rewards Mention Comments on Discord! Promoting Decentralized Abuse Fighting!

in #abuse7 years ago

As @fraenk, I also think this is a great initiative, but there is one omission:

comment spam, plagiarism, spam, copy/paste, identity theft, vote abuse, bid bot abuse, manipulation, collusive voting, copy/pasta,death threats,threat, vote farming, post farming,tag misuse, tag abuse

On your list of abuse, flagging abuse is sorely missing. Would you like to share an opinion on that problem and possible solutions?

Sure thing. Yes, I agree that flagging is not the "I disagree with you idealogically" button. No, it is about disagreement on rewards. I may even disagree with something ideologically but, if I believe that the content is truly thoughtful and has proof-of-brain as they say, I may even upvote it even if I disagree with the substance but may be less prone to do so.

How can we combat revenge flags? I think bringing the revenge flags to the eyes of the community is a good starting point perhaps in a post.

Perhaps even building an account from "healing" aka restoration of reputation on wrongful flags. The @flagawhale project has members that help out with this. I'll check out your posts. Thanks for the comment and support!

It's not just “revenge flags” @anthonyadavisii. There are sociopaths who flag others out of pure fun, without any reason.
