RE: ~*~ The Big Deal That’s Not a Big Deal: The Issue of Abusive Downvoting and Community Etiquette ~*~

in #steemit8 years ago

Take that whole post on colodial gold and copy paste it into a new post and start over again. Flag those people who downvoted with no explanation. See if they'll come back and respond. Keep posting about colodial gold. Keep talking about it.

I personally find the colodial gold an amazing product. I use it every day. It helps me with all kinds of personal issues.

Downvoting on steemit should only have the power to demonstrate a disagreement and nothing else. A downvote need not have the power to damage a posting unless they can provide real proof that the post is a farce. Disagreement power can seriously lend itself to abuse and create a Facebook type of energetic where people bash and argue like two year olds. My understanding is steemit is above that but now, in light of this situation I am seeing where an upgrade in policy is in dire need if you don't want steemit to just be another Facebook, perpetuating petty issues that lead to unconscionable acts. This forum has so much potential. C'mon steemit, raise the bar!

Thanks for your support! We will absolutely continue to share our successful experience of real options for health and wellness, in addition to sharing the truth about money and the law and parenting and sustainability. We have found massively upgraded paradigms that are so abundant and healthy, that we are inspired to tell others about them--everyone's experience can be improved when we share our extensive knowledge! And if someone likes the sound of it, great! They can integrate it into his/her life, but if they don't like it, they can simply choose to ignore it.

Again, we're not interested in a flag war, or really with engaging with users who are so deeply caught in cognitive dissonance that they are blind. We're going to share the TRUTH, and it's not our business to convince others.

Conversation has the power to demonstrate disagreement. The downvote causes injury. A user with a lower rep is said to not affect one much by downvoting, but we are addressing the intention behind the downvote. One user is saying to another, "Your opinion should not be heard." This is a violation; censorship is violent.

We call for a revolution in VALUES. The user has to realize the intention behind their action of flagging, and recognize the dishonor in not even addressing the issue before attempting censorship. This isn't Fascistbook where likes are tossed about willy-nilly without regard to their worth or implications, but perhaps the downvote is being approached with a FB mentality without considering what it truly represents. We address this to bring awareness to VALUES.

Hear hear @loveon!
Facebook can be Facebook... in my book. ;-D

And I want Steemit to BE Steemit too!
... but if it turns into Facebook w/ Crypto-Currency?

...Yeah... buh-bye now. (-_-)
