I usually only downvote posts that have been flagged for abuse or authors who are consistantly flagged for abuse. If one person explains no need for everyone to explain. If the person already knows what theybare doing is wrong, no point in constantly reminding them.
I don't see flaggers as a police force or judges. I just see them as concerned authors and curators who want to see organic growth and decent etiquette.
Revenge flagging is the biggest problem
People can tag and ask if flagged or give 1% revenge to get attention. Often they just whine all over the place and start flagging everything at 100%, it is madness.
Hi @abitcoinskeptic
I think we are in agreement
But think that a warning anyway should be there for factual reason.
Then others can also see the warning and the reason for the flagging
But I am afraid of what is happening now with those who use flagging for revenge
I think revenge flagging is the biggest problem. Another issue is it is so simple to avoid, but then the original reason for flagging the person doing the revenge doesn't get resolved.
However, trying to reason does work with most people, so being informative is great as long as at least one person on the post is having the right discussion with the person being flagged.
hi @abitcoinskeptic
I totally agree with you
I take a close look at accounts and authors before I flag them. I just find people who receive one flag are often 'repeat offenders' if you will.
I don't flag for revenge or opinion.
You seem to have a very low reputation. I guess you kinda do your own thing here regardless.
You are full of shit. (As always)
It's funny you also claim I have 1517 sock puppets because I have mined 1517 Account Claim tokens. Ignorant as usual.
I flagged you after that comment, but feel free to spin your bullshit.
Libeling is not a difference of opinion.
ok, anyway I'm not too interested in your opinion, but thanks for sharing it.
