RE: User @erotic has been steadily posting content in proper categories #erotic #nsfw #xxx #porn etc. so WHY IS HE FLAGGED INTO OBSCURITY?

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

The only problem with that is there is no set standard for what flagging should be used for. Personally I think it should only be used for spam/plagiarism but that is only my opinion, people can choose to use flagging however they see fit at this point.

Unless there is some update to the whitepaper that specifically describes under what circumstances a flag is warranted then it will be completely up to each user to decide when it is appropriate to use.

Sort:  

Hence the reason I posted the "Proper Flagging Guidelines" above, or at least what I think they should be based on dozens upon dozens of conversations I have had (or seen) in Steemit.Chat on the subject.

Right, but its completely subjective for each person. I mean I would disagree with some of your standards. If people want to post something racist/bigoted I'll argue with them and will not upvote it, but I wont flag someone just because I disagree with their opinion, no matter how reprehensible I find it.
