  1. It gives you the option of earning without detection, provided you don't make any mistakes that give away your identity. (don't pay for it with Steem)

  2. It allows you to retaliate with multiple accounts that don't have open posts and can't be retaliated against. (playing their game)

Whether you find value in being here is up to you of course and the fact that ned is powering down suggests we should make similar moves. I am powering down also because I question the flag and up vote system; when compared to a market where you could take away a vendor's Euros, no vendor would be stupid enough to show up. I'm not moving my Steem off the platform, it just won't be powered up unless something changes.

Not retarded. Flags were presented as a curation tool for disagreeing with the content of a post or excessive rewards for a post. The fact that someone could use it to go after every open post indefinitely was not mentioned, nor was the fact presented that such a process could be automated and used for revenge for any reason.

When used in this fashion, I disagree with this flag thing because I can determine for myself if I like or dislike a post and don't need others to filter out what they think is garbage. It actually makes the flag a useless tool for most account holders and available as a viable option for only a select few.

I'll check on your site regularly, I love history, and also Nordic history that has been absent from our schools. Greetings!
