He knows, it is users like him that make video's on YouTube bringing people here with a turnkey way to scam the system, that requires we will always need flags.

He isn't known as Scamfield for just any reason.

And anyone blind to his tactics needs to go too, we have enough sheep to deal with, without adding stupid sheep.

Bots and the like are technical issues. They should be handled with a technical solution. The flag only complicates that issue. Nothing good can ever come from the flag.

Show me a single censored post and I will agree with you.

I think you and many others are confused between being censored and having your personal payout corrected, all funds removed on a post go back to the community. Like when Jerry boosted this bullshit post above $1,000 the community corrected it as it isn't worth $10. He is very lucky more users do not care about the community or it would be blanked out.

Silencing a voice is censorship by any other name. Taking their money is theft.

I said show me an example of a comment or post that is not able to be read. If it is able to be seen by any means then it is truly not censored. The "money" is also not yours until it is paid to you by Steemit.com.

Every example above is an example of ownership being taken. It would be like comparing the two of us applying for the same job and if I got the job I "stole" it from you. If the job was not yours, I can not steal it, same as if the payout is not sent to your steem wallet it has also not been stolen, you never OWNED it.

It is still potential earnings. It is still the product of work and time. A fine point, but I think it is still a valid one. Like someone stealing your paycheck out of your bosses hand. The person making a post can spend many hours on it only to have it rendered impotent and by the time you address it the 30 second window of shelf life has already expired. The flag also represents an idea which many (such as myself) will find reprehensible. You must admit it is a very hard sell, and member retention will suffer. Too many BIG problems with the flag. Just the idea that enforcement is in the hands of the miscreants, trolls and spammers makes me a bit uncomfortable making a financial investment. If the flag were dropped membership would soar, member retention would be great.

Seriously, I see no upside to the flag. All I see is it killing the platform slowly.

I left facebook because of censorship to come here and find out it is even worse here.

You are 1000% wrong, flags are for the enforcement against miscreants, trolls and spammers.

Easy answer for everyone who finds this place to be over censored is to move on, I hear ONO and EOS will be a lot of handholding and Kumbaya singing. Or in your own words FaceBook is better, so go back there.

See that is the point, you can whine here all day and no-one can make you leave. You also do not need to invest a dime into this platform to make any money. Only those trying to turn it into a get rich scheme ever throw around words like investments. This is a social media platform, 1st and foremost, steemit.com is not STEEM. The value of STEEM is not Steemit, Steemit is the fun site built and run on STEEM just as there are others.

At the end of the day the people who want to cry over flags have the right to do so as we do not censor here but no-one is required to care about your feelings either.

I get censored posts as comments on my posts every day.

I can still view every comment on your post, nothing is censored.

You can see the reputation score go into the negative. An example is Biblegateway They have a minus reputation score, And It looks like it got that way by means of religious bias. Imagine what happens when someone posts a picture of a MAGA hat. The door is wide open for religious and political persecution. And with no legal recourse, no due process...just a lynch mob.

They got the negative rep by spamming links to every post that has been posted. There are many bible bumping users in 70+ REP. It is all about presentation, not ideas or thoughts.

Check out @trumpman he has a MAGA Icon and is high rep and high wallet. I have also used a MAGA hat in images. I personally think religious and political views are personal and not meant for the public broadcasting of personal views but I wouldn't waste a flag on either.
