I bet there is also a big language barrier as Steem is spreading among the whole world, people try their luck with something they have translated to attempt to earn a few $ and hoping the author didn't read the comment properly or there just aren't enough curators in their own language.
I'm sure it's something that will improve over time, though.
@acidyo you are right on the money. I think that's a major problem when i read a post that does not bring out any sense in the use of language. It is because its somebody whose mother tongue is not English and Google translation just messes it up.
Dear @acidyo although your post is too lengthy but once I started believe me I finished it in 20 mins (As I'm not native Englishman) after that I came to comment section and here I found some discussion on flags. I do agree that there is a big problem of Language Barrier. People from backward areas can't understand latest things yet. So it should b a lenient hand on them. But if someone is habitual then its upto authors and they should decide what to do.
True, Steemit is growing rapidly and also the promotion of Steemit is going on YouTube, Facebook and references, so the new user registration rate is increasing, but people who don't know English at all they can face some initial problems.
I've been wondering that same thing. How can we self govern when we can't all understand each other. What if a huge spammer comes in only speaking chinese? It would be difficult for any non-chinese people to shut it down... Maybe steemit should be english only and there should just be other forks for different languages like golos. I'm thinking maybe SMT's could solve this problem too.
