RE: Your FEEDBACK matters. Downvote/Flag improvement - A proposal.
@radoslaw if it's just to control plagiarism and spam I think cheetah is already doing a great job. Can't we just refer any post that we confirm as spam and plagiarism to cheetah? I saw @onyx did that, or is it just for @onyx? exclusively? then perhaps it should be directed to him. And if cheetah confirms the article's stolen then flag our hearts out .
I saw some pips here abusing the flag and use it just to commit revenge or just because they want to flag the other person just cause they don't like them. I wish there's a system that goes like this - if the post is just not tasty - why don't first have people say "flag" because ....reason ... then if there's at least 5 or ten people who agreed that it should be flagged but those ten should have at least specifically given the reason for doing so then - the flag takes its effect. Some people just flagged something just because they hate the author - or they think the post is a trash . The truth is there's so many post that makes you cringe because they are either empty, no substance , not adding value to people's lives and obscene but those don't get flagged. The flag got abused for hate mostly for revenge which I don't get (rolling eyes) some even said - I'm flagging this because he doesn't want to see the post, happened to read the post and it actually helped me understand Steemit stuff more and I wasn't the only one it helped cause I went scrolling down to the comment thread but one just flagged the post just because they don't like the author - I guess we could also control our feed right? We could just mute the person, too if we don't want to see them or unfollow - I just don't get why flag? It's just one of those pointless misuse of the flag. - Let's make Steemit a positive kind of social media, there's plenty of hate in the world already. World peace people!
