RE: Is Steemit’s Success and Democracy at Risk from Crab Mentality?

that was a massive abuse of flag and I have issues with community members who think flagging is like downvoting. FLAGGING HURTS REPUTATION.

Sort:  

Even in steemd.com flagging is called downvote. Although it hurts reputation. People don't have anything else to use for downvote so use flags. Maybe there should be a difference between the two and both should be implemented. But for users, it's the same thing, since they don't see a difference . Sure we don't want to be Reddit but it is also part of curation to and stemit needs curation.

@cryptoctopus Thanks for your post. Just realise I'd used 'down-vote' instead of 'flagged' in my article. Mistake on my behalf. EDIT done. Agree with what your saying, there must be a better way of dealing with this. @dollarvigilante didn't deserve to lose reputation on this
