I flagged because I feel this post is suffering from swarm voting and is over rewarded. That is not to say it isn't a worthwhile bit of writing but is really just a short note. I would not flag but for the already-excessive reward (if the reward drops I will remove the flag).
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
It's not your job to determine if an article is over rewarded. If you don't want to reward the post, don't upvote it. Who are you to determine for the rest of us how valuable a post should be? That's just pure jealousy.
If an article is off topic (tagged inappropriately) or spam, fine, flag away, but to use the flagging system to subjectively determine how much it should be rewarded or if the article is long enough is abusing the system.
The blockchain disagrees, it hired me to perform precisely this job.
I downvote when I think over-rewarded posts are harmful to the success of the overall system and therefore to my investment. All rewards come from a common pool, therefore more reward for one post means less available for others.
wow, interesting, didn't realize down-votes did that, but yeah
