RE: 🎬 Steemy EP. 39: YouGotFlagged - The Downvote Whale on Steemit
I don't agree with the fact that anyone can downvote. Maybe have a report button and have it reviewed by a committee. There are too many stupid reason why people downvote others and not a fair system. Opens too many doors for abuse and discrimination. Just not fair to those who are not deserving. Also those downvoting for their own benifit or because they got angry with someone should be simply deleted and banned from the system after committee review. At least give everybody their "Day in court" before allowing others to ruin their reputation. Kinda like judging people guilty before proven innocent. Must be the other way around..innocent until proven guilty. Also,, the committee should be composed of individuals of all levels, races and countries. If nothing else, just add a dislike button that doesn't affect the reputation. Just sayin!
Yes, I was also thinking about mods from all parts of the earth and society. But that is still opening the door to censorship and I find censorship much more dangerous than demoneytization of content that is in one way or the other affecting the entire economy of Steem.
I think what happens right now is good to discuss the issues and find solutions.
I agree, there has to be a better system with checks and balances. I guess I accidentally flagged a jerk that had already been flagged many times and decided to take it out on me. Called me a liar and kept harassing me on one of my post, even threatened to flag all my post even after I told him I didn't remember ever flagging anyone. Once he made his threat, I simply unfollowed and muted him without another word...
Maybe a simple abuse report button and let the community decide??
Hey why stop at Earth? I hear The blue Avians are on our side and here to help humanity keep from destroying themselves and the planet. LOL
Or, you could simply let the ones with complaints and dislikes duke it out...That would be true uncensorship!!
Yeah, a new Steem based platform only for downvotes. ;)
Yep, that would work and sure they would all love it! Birds of a Feather.
