RE: A potential flaw in Steemit discovered?
Flags are just people using their stake as they see fit. Although this is annoying it is not a flaw nor a problem.
There is no proper etiquette to flagging, although I agree it is polite and worthwhile to explain it.
People need to just consider flags are downvotes, every users can flag for whatever reason. It is the law of the blockchain.
:) This is not a problem.
I can forsee a problem if miscreants like the above user who apparently are angry at the whole world have real power. Imagine bankers losing their minds, then deciding to dump their billions into Steemit, create bots to downvote everyone just because they're having a tantrum at not being able to control the whole world in order to make it impossible for anyone to earn a living. I agree that this is very unlikely, but there ought to be a way that the community can intervene in situations where users never post..
To become a problem, they would have to hold stake. I suppose there is some chance that could happen, it seems unlikely, someone is going to spend much money to troll.
In a delegated proof of stake project, I guess that is a risk, but that would make it their stake to use.
The beauty of the blockchain is that each member of the community controls their own stake nothing less and nothing more. I think it is highly unlikely to become a problem. Really the biggest problems with flags is the over emotional reactions. I hope we get past that.
It's good to be a dolphin, not plankton.
And now you will put me a red flag! Women always lose to men ....
I have no idea what you are saying. I was a plankton and a redfish and a minnow before I was a dolphin.
In addition, I am also a woman.
Oopsy.
