RE: Steemit's 2017 Five [5] bad habits You should avoid in 2018, to save your reputation

That is a valuable experience you share here, @arthur.grafo. And i am glad you took lessons from it. I wish all did.

Unfortunately some. the likes of @devsuraj even when give an ultimatum, and a really educative one as such, remain stubborn.

It is not the wish of any reputable steemian to flag anyone. But sometimes some individuals really abuse the platform, to a point where the only option, after several warnings, is to flag.

But yes, some people learn, and change, as in your experience.

I agree with you, entirely. The 'how-to' posts would of great help, at least as a precursor to any sort of retribution against offender. But you see, we don't actually 'automatically' punish transgressors.

Take the example of @devsuraj above, despite being warned several times, given ultimatums to make up by doing the exact thing you are suggesting-that is, to read posts we can rate as the 'how-to' posts

Still, he remained adamant. he left no other room for any thing except a flag

Hopefully, however, we can all really engage in productive engagement here, that no one will need to be flagged

Thanks for your thoughtful deliberation, @arthur.grafo. I am following you!
