@ainie.kashif, thank-you for your equally elaborate response...
I like that big word you used branding strategy.
I think that when it comes to being flagged one needs to assess and evaluate, keep the good and drop the bad, but don't stop being yourself. The real problem I have with flagging is that it uses "violence" to make people conform.
I hope you don't mind me harping on this point a little longer as it is a debate / educational session. I don't fight these guys but it is important to educate flaggers in 2 aspects.
a) they have a responsibility to teach newbies before flagging.
b) that their behaviour is bordering on bully tactics.It is important that each Steemit user use their own discretion and not self-destruct - Rule 1, lol!
The adding of a footer is obviously a personal matter, however for newbie it is very confusing as it was in my case; and if a user comes from a haggling culture it automatically kicks in that instinct to hustle... I personally decided not to add to the confusion that newbies might experience. The fact is they need positive role-models, who proves that no begging or requests for up votes is necessary at all.
With my two cents we now have four cents...lol! Have a fantastatabulous (spelling intended) day!
Hi @rlt47, we all knew that this wired world of steemit has no leader, just some big whales, dolphins and policing bots who rules with massive Steem Power, so some of them tend to abuse their power and that’s a fact. I also do not condone any type of bullying in this case, perhaps we can call this behavior sort of cyber bullying, but all this can be easily avoided by observing anyone before you enter to comment on their page. Maybe it’s just being at the wrong place at the wrong time. All of us decided to join Steemit and engage on our own discretion. It’s either play safe or take risk. Your choice my friend.
hahahaha, I like cyber bullying. Here is our anti-cyber bullying campaign mascot and slogan - LOL!
