RE: Witness Vote Removed: @nextgencrypto. It’s a Shame that Some Individuals are Flagging Content for Mere Difference of Opinion.

in #vaccines7 years ago

i understand how you feel in this flagging issue... it really might kill motivation by some folks to post their views on diverse topics as steemit is an info bank...for fear of being flagged to oblivion, it may surely kill serious contents here...i think there should be a complaint unit in steemit for authors to complain when flagged and if teams review it they remove the flag and penalize the person that flagged..this way we checkmate flagging excesses... my own thought...
thanks for sharing and being bold on this delicate topic...glad to be following and we need more of such posts...

Well, @kenhudoy, you are free to form such a committee. That is the essence of Steemit.

I am sure many will flock to avail themselves of such a service, and I am not kidding, or being snarky. Further, I believe it will be a boon to Steemit.
Srsly, do it.

This kind of flagging has long been producing self-censorship, and since the platform is infested with pandering, this is hugely magnified. Steemit has perhaps the worst user retention rate of extant social media platforms, and I think flagging contributes to that.

Your idea could change that.

sure....but i think this idea should be created by a steemit known witness who has enough free steemit power to unflag someone who was unjustly flagged... it should be supported by @dan and @ned for it to work and have some unbiased umpires or even the community as umpires...

@dan is gone, and @ned isn't gonna do it.

You have the ball.

ok @valued-customer will look into that and thank goodness i have you as a worthy partner;)
