RE: How to Stop Down Vote Abuse - Upvoting Downvotes

in #steemit8 years ago


I agree, good article up-voted. However, I wrote a blog on here explaining why we need a "down vote" button and not just a "flag" button. The flag should be used for stuff like spam, and plagiarized material and should be reviewed because the flags can censor images and content. The non existent "down vote button" could allow someone to be voted down without censoring the content. The problem is a "whale" could flag and censor a bunch of minnows just because they disagree philosophically on some issue. I explain this idea in my full article: https://steemit.com/steemit/@titusfrost/false-flagging-need-a-down-vote-button-stop-censorship

This exact scenario happened to me a little while back. It's very disheartening to write a reply to someone after they ask for it, then downvote/flag the content cause it doesn't "fit" their narrative.
