RE: Stop Spamming in the Comments Section; I Won't Check Out Your Profile Just Because You Sucked Up to Me without Reading the Post
I agree that many people can't take criticism. I'm like you in that I grow as a human being by learning from re-evaluating my misperceptions of reality.
However, I do experience some hesitation when it comes to criticizing religious absurdities. Purveyors of his kind of behavior have been elevated to a protected class in Western Civilization. Imagine, blasphemy laws in Northern Europe?
In the Islamic Civilization, it is a matter of life and death to go against "God's Law" as dispensed gratuitously by your fellow humans. When you don't see it their way, it's simple. They just chop off your head.
There should be a clone of Steemit for thinkers. We have Busy and ChainBB. How about a Think.it?
The only problem there is that everyone thinks they can think. I like the idea. Maybe if the system provided an "idiot" logo below every post so readers could call it what it was, when the idiot reached the critical mass of votes, everything created by him/her would disappear. Sort of a virtual beheading!
There is a definite need for some depth to the voting experience. Steemit votes are upvote, flag or novote. The 0 -100 slider adds an intensity dimension only to the upvote. Steemit could be like 4chan. If the flags reached a critical mass, steemians would go to your home and and protest wearing masks. You'd get blacked out pages on your fax machine and all sorts of weird messages on your phone. Steemit computer talent is quite formidable and with a little organization it would be easy for Steemit to morph into something akin to Anonymous and the "Occupy" global happening.
That's possible, but maybe a bit beyond the scope of my idea. Just a simple destruct button would work for me. I like the "if I can't see you, you don't exist" approach.
Moreover, it's often people who can't who are the ones who think they can. :)
Dunning-Kruger.
Wow, a completely unrelated conversation goes to the topic of Islam in an hour, and I wasn't even the one instigating it, haha.
