RE: Steemit Feature Request: We need to have a "Dislike" button separate from "Flags" for better online interactions (According to Game design Wisdom)
Agree with you on the dislike button thing!! I also think there should be something that let's you make a "lightweight comment" or something like that, because sometimes I just want to say "wow, nice post", but if I do that I look like a spammer that only cares about getting an upvote.
Also, I completely agree with you on the limiting downvotes thing, I understand that spammers need to be dealt with, but when someone like berniesanders goes around flagging shit because they don't like it, it is too much. This is how berniesanders responded to a post saying he at the very least should be more specific to what he flags:
(sorry, barely readable because that guy's reputation is so low(well deserved))
Yep, he admitted he will just flag stuff he doesn't like.
The platform was designed in a way where "wow, nice post" is said via weighted upvotes. It saves time and it is more efficient. Bernie and his 50+ sock puppet accounts are one of the worst things on STEEM blockchain. It seems that the guy was a miner. PoW Mining is probably the single biggest flaw of STEEM blockchain. I talked about this in length here: https://steemit.com/news/@vimukthi/the-initial-token-distribution-problem-of-steem-and-dan-talking-about-steem-2-0-on-eos-telegram-q-and-a
At least Grumpycat+Madpuppy seems to have paid for their stake. Transisto payed for his stake and he tried to pull off BS/Grumpy stunts and sort of toned things down a little. Adding a "Dislike"button to show disagreements will make it evident that those who flag without a breach of NAP are just fascist thought police punks. I mean some idiot-savant who designed the UI/UX put "Disagreement on rewards" at the top of reasons to flag. There should have been a separate function to show disagreements and that's why I'm finally proposing this solution.
