Is that cruel ?? @hilarski @piedpiper @dollarvigilante
What if that person does not know anything ?? And get downvote without knowing mistake, whether it be said fair ?? Continues to be down and harm the reputation of the person, and many parties ..
Give input only, What if someone crosses the line about a post or in a comment, warning or reprimand through tolerance to immediately remove what he had written, in order not to harm fellow user ..
Thank you.. :)
Glad you asked, @febieline - When you downvote someone, your action is visible to the community and you have to be prepared to explain your reasoning to the satisfaction of your peers. Otherwise, you will quickly establish a reputation for cruelty any be ostracized by the community. You'll make yourself a target and won't be able to continue functioning normally. Nobody has any incentive to flag people without cause. Warnings are great and @berniesanders has been handing them out plentifully, which I really appreciate. At the end of the day, whales are invested in Steemit and everything they do is for the betterment of the platform. We are working to grow our investment and reckless, abusive behavior comes with severe consequences. I hope that helps. Let me know if any other concerns come to mind :)
@piedpiper, I see an account named @arisromansyah88, I think he commented on the post someone does not say rude or rest, I do not know why anyone could give downvote someone to reduce the reputation of the person, there is the peculiarity that I see and confuses me, why others which gives downvote tresebut but not the person who made such postings are on downvote, my view there is no abuse or harsh words were spoken by Mr. @arisromansyah88 ..
You can check the name of it .. !!! @piedpiper
This is very smart advice to follow. You do a great job helping all levels of users here @piedpiper (still one of my favorite names)
Could you also weigh in on the option to have downvotes and flags be separate and also require flaggers to select a reason? I'm tryin to get some of the great minds together to discuss. @smooth has offered a lot of good ideas and would love to have your comments in there as well. New Content Flagging System With Feedback. Ironically it has a flag already from @mootdadoe which has no explanation, but if my proposal is implemented would force him/her to choose a reason why they flagged content.
Thanks for the kind words, @bendjmiller222
Anyone can flag. The more steem power you have, the more monetary damage your flag will do. Only those with a higher reputation can affect your reputation score. I'm not sure if you recover the little bit of lost voting power if you remove your flag but I don't think it really matters because it's a fairly small amount anyway.
I definitely have my own ideas about how the voting/flagging system can be improved and I'll be making a video about it tomorrow. :)
