RE: Please help a newbie, I’m not sure why my post was flagged or what to do.
In my opinion, you shouldn't overanalyze it if just one person flags you. Just because you received a downvote/flag does not mean that you did something wrong it can happen for different reasons.
I have read the flagged article and I do not see a problem with it. It seems like the person just disagrees with your opinion and thats why he flagged you (As A Newbie I think he shouldn#t do it in this case).
It is recommend to flag/downvote on posts that are abusive, include racism, scam, inappropriate material, copyright violations etc.
At the End of the Day nothing bad happened ,save your dollars and I hope that one incident dont stop you from getting a good experience with Steem.
Thanks! I was totally offended at first, turned off of steem. I must admit it. How could someone have my content removed just because they don't like it?!?!....i get it now. . . . .This post put it in much better perspective for me: https://steemit.com/steemit/@innuendo/how-to-fix-the-downvoting-issue
The downvote system doesn't work quite as intended. As noted in the post above, downvoting to reduce payment on content and downvoting to remove illegal/hateful/scam content is entirely different and should work differently.
I'm thinking though hopefully as the system grows, people of influence won't be so exponentially more powerful than everyone else. So that its not so significant when you are downvoted by someone who just doesn't like your content.
