Woke up to see so many votes on my comment. When I first got flagged, I was tempted to power down and leave this place. But I am glad I stuck around. Steem has a great community and together we can make this a better place.
If we build it they will come.
To all the newbies out there, too much self love is not good. It can lead to blindness ;)
Thank you all
@kabir88
you mind teling me why did he flag you in the first place?
did you get involved in flag war? or did you flag him first or criticize him online? Im just wondering what could possibly trigger downvoting you so badly :(
Can't remember if I flagged or commented first. But basically, I showed I disagreed with this large payouts and flagged his post. Which is a perfectly legitimate thing to do on steemit if you disagree with the level of payout.
He then decided to retaliate by flagging all my posts.
Didn't work out well for him though, my rewards from steemit and followers went up... While hjin just managed to add one more very resourceful person to the list of people who want to see the little setup hjin and Rancho have stopped.
from my impression flagging on steemit is a way to declare a war to someone. it's more of a punch that will almost always cause a fight.
Im sorry to hear that you got downvoted so badly
i will be following you closely. myself Im to small and scared to get involved into this flag war
It's a part of the mechanism, if someone upvotes you, you don't have an outburst of love and go and upvote all their posts, so why the asymmetric response to flags?
I don't understand that guy, if someone with very little SP flags me, I wouldn't care. It's part of the collective will to upvote or flag posts to make sure they achieve appropriate rewards.
Thanks for following. I will try and be interesting ;)
No body is too small to make a stand
