RE: Is Steemit’s Success and Democracy at Risk from Crab Mentality?
that was a massive abuse of flag and I have issues with community members who think flagging is like downvoting. FLAGGING HURTS REPUTATION.
Even in steemd.com flagging is called downvote. Although it hurts reputation. People don't have anything else to use for downvote so use flags. Maybe there should be a difference between the two and both should be implemented. But for users, it's the same thing, since they don't see a difference . Sure we don't want to be Reddit but it is also part of curation to and stemit needs curation.
@cryptoctopus Thanks for your post. Just realise I'd used 'down-vote' instead of 'flagged' in my article. Mistake on my behalf. EDIT done. Agree with what your saying, there must be a better way of dealing with this. @dollarvigilante didn't deserve to lose reputation on this
