Except flagging posts is not akin to censorship. Flagging exists to stamp out abuse and serve the interests of the community and protect Steemit as a platform.
Where is the abuse? I see two competing opinions and a bit of a personality conflict. I see no abuse here. BTW @sterlinluxan if someone came along and was flagging you based on opinion, even ones expressed less than politely, I would upvote that to oppose the flagging as well. I'm not taking sides here, except against flagging based on disagreements.
This is DEFINITELY censorship, as we can now not see the post in its entirety due to low ratings, please elaborate how it isn't. You have literally deconstructed this mans post by flagging it. Now we can't even read to understand the authors entire perspective but only make educated assumptions. You are delusional if you think this is anything but the very definition of censorship.
Nothing about the post is inaccessible or censored. Next to the "Images were hidden due to low ratings." red message you will find a button to "show" the original post. The site pulling the images is probably more to do with nsfw flagged content.
Sure the post remains accessible but who will still be able to actually get aware of this post after all the downflags? Only the followers of kyriacos will find it in their feeds.
Hi enki, I see your point but I have to respectfully disagree. I see any modifications to a post that requires filtration as a level of censorship. In this particular case I don't know if it's because of flagging or if it just happens to be that the system isn't build to handle nsfw content yet, which I know a lot of people are waiting for. Either way, I would like to see posts in their entirety in the future regardless of flags.
@kyriacos I wasn't suggesting that there was any nsfw. I'm saying the reason the site pulls the pictures is likely due to that concern. There is currently no way to distinguish a post as flagged for nsfw, aggressive personal attacks, tolling, plagiarism, spam, or whatever other reason people choose to flag. It's a blanket response.
I think if you were to drop the personal attacks and name calling you might not have reactions like this from other users. I think you're clearly intelligent and have value to add here. Hopefully we can resolve to a more civil discourse in the future for such disagreements. I don't think there's much to gain by simply attacking each other.
There was was no nsfw content @enki .
@sterlinluxan refuses to properly debate. I make a detailed post about every point he made. He is just trying to bury it. this is why he is downvoting ferrociously along his other scamming buddy. mr . bleached out douche vigilante.
What abuse? Seriously. You used lies in your post in order to make money and I am the abusive one? You personally attacked me with lies which I debunked in this very post that you ar enow trying to hide.
You call yourself an anarchist? Give me a break...
Flagged because your abusing. Everything is subjective so fair game right ? (sterlinluxan)
Same !
Yeah, I don't see abuse in this post. So not flag worthy.
Likewise. Upvoted out of disagreement with the flagging as unwarranted. Not going to use the C word.
