If someone can't nuke someone else's account then how would you explain this quote from someone named dreemit to me a couple weeks back: If she wanted to, if she was the type of person you are making her out to be, she could flag your account to zero. It's not the first time someone suggested such a thing. I didn't agree with a couple other people when I first came to the site on a topic and they both told me if I replied back again I'd be flagged to zero.
I was having a conversation the other day with someone about the opinion of the SEC Chairman on crypto currency, his opinion was that it's a mistake to think that tokens don't have value and that when used/exchanged it should be treated the same as a cash transaction and that crypto's/tokens fall under the same regulatory regulations of state and federal banking laws, which means that anybody striking someone's wallet down to zero over not liking a comment is against the law, their wallet is as protected as any bank account someone may hold. I would assume that doing so out of fraud and abuse would be different but he didn't hit on that subject. You can read his whole testimony on crypto currencies here:
Nobody can remove any STEEM/SBD in your balance (or unclaimed post rewards), except for you.
However, someone with a lot of SP could remove the pending rewards on all your posts/comments less than 7 days old.
"Flagging to zero" means flagging an account until their rep is (0) or (-1).
When your rep is that low you posts and comments look greyed out, but they are not invisible.
I suppose the rep never recovers?
