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

in #steemit8 years ago

I didn't flag them... (and in fact, all of their flaggers had lower rep than they did) but yeah i see your point. Im kind of ambivalent on the whole flagging issue (not that my flag means much), but i see where youre coming from.

I guess my problem is that when you say "flag for abuse" you end up giving a huge advantage to the people willing to cry "abuse" when someone does or says something they don't like.

Sort:  

...If someone is crying abuse (like crying wolf) in order to censor or hurt potential earnings or reputation, that is the same attitude as people flagging just because they don't like what they're seeing and they want to censor or hurt potential earnings or reputation. (O_O)

In essence - are you saying it's acceptable to do it to someone else as long as that someone else is not you??

um... no im not sure where you got that. I don't think its acceptable at all. I just think it happens.

LOL - we definitely agree upon that last part... (Sh)it does happen. ;-D

...But you are saying that since (sh)it happens, that we should just live in (sh)it and throw (sh)it at each other because there is no other alternative? What if I don't want to spend my time in (sh)it all day?
