RE: My horrible first experience with Steemit & ideas on how to fix it.

in #steemit8 years ago

I dont think youre being a crybaby. I like that you've taken a mature position and are explaining what happened and possible solutions, rather than just trashing steem and threatening to leave (which ive seen many times). In my opinion there are some issues with your proposed solutions relating to new users and spam accounts, where giving a grace period may increase spam on the site. But regardless if that's the case or not, how users perceive their first posting on steemit is really important to ongoing user engagement. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for reading and for your comments! I agree that spam is definitely something that needs to be watched. I think this is why maybe a hybrid case where if a new account or person racks up a # of flags (i.e. 3 or 5 flags) prior to getting any up-votes, then they could still be marked. You could then have an issue with someone having multiple accounts and still doing multiple flags just to harm others, but maybe it would become tedious enough to not be worth it. These were just initial thoughts or solutions to bring attention to what I see as a potential issue, but maybe we can come up with something better as a group. Thanks again for reading!
