Thanks for the update. This info came at the perfect time. I just noticed the flagging issue on the DollarVigilante posts and am trying to getting out whats going on.
As you know flagging should only be used for violations. As far as I can see there have been not violations in the post. The problem of flag abuse due to personality differences / disapproval of subject matter / jealousy has been growing. The planform needs an update asap to provide a list of easily accessible community rules and also additional functionality in the flagging feature with will require input regarding which rule was broken before one can insert a flag. This will help greatly.
I enjoy your report as always........this one was right on the mark!
EDIT: This person make a very creative post addressing the issues I've stated above. wanted to share: https://steemit.com/funny/@gregory-f/the-facebook-strikes-back
Well said @james212 . This game is heating up!
Maybe they will just introduce voting on flags so we can flag a flag we disagree with and the battle can go to another level. It's flag inception!
LOL...... I think there are other solutions.
I found the downvotes on the dollar vigilante's posts surprising really not sure if it is a deliberate act of trying to sabotage the platform though or whether it is just personal in the sense they don't like him or don't agree with him. The downvoting shouldn't be used that way though. Time will show what the true agenda is.
I think that the whole point of Steemit is people putting money where their mouth (opinion) is. It gives substance to the discussion that was never possible before. I have participated on early forums that adopted 'karma' systems and they were only as good as the moderators and politics. But political opinions cost nothing to put forward before, and cost little to overwhelm if you are well connected. But now it's an actual cost to your balance. This will change the balance of power as regards to gaining prominence.
Great time to be in this space! Steem is currently at it's cheapest now, great time accumulate steem power!
Excellent article Craig, whales that power down are providing me with an opportunity to get steem power at a discount price so I am very happy they exist. It reminds me of the opportunity that is provided by the federal reserve when they indirectly suppress the price of gold and silver to make the dollar look strong. Keep up the good work :) Cian
