pfunk, that was a good article, I don't think we disagree at all. The only thing I will say on this is that a flag has an effect beyond the post or comment that is flagged as it affects your reputation. I do not think that flags should be used to signify disagreement with a single post that is all. Of course this is an decentralised platform and users should operate it as they see fit within the scope of the platform.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Reputation doesn't get affected very much by a single flag though. It's not something to be too worried about unless your reputation goes negative, which is something that won't happen unless you really messed up.
Well I invite you to look at https://steemit.com/life/@susanne/the-crap-i-put-up-with-because-i-m-a-girl-in-it and see if my comment deserved a 50 point drop in rep
Cheers pfunk that's a good idea thanks for the advice
I can't comment under @chuckleberry so reply is here:
Yeah that's unfortunate, and it's an artifact of Steemit more than Steem. At least changes to the Steemit rep system are easier to do than change Steem. I don't believe you should lose so much reputation from one comment either. I'd vocalize the problem on the steemit.com github.
