RE: The Dwin fallacy(In defense of the flag part II)
doh! i must have gotten some mental wires crossed. I think i saw a couple posts about a release of the NSFW filter, and assumed you were posting them as official dev team announcements.
No problem :) I should probably start mentioning in those posts that I do not officially work for Steemit.
I'm not sure if Steemit will approve it, but I opened up a GitHub issue to make three changes:
- Rename "Flag" to back to "Downvote"
- Add an item to the list of acceptable downvoting reasons: "The payout is too high (subjective)"
- In the downvote popup, add "It is recommended that as a courtesy to the author of the post/comment that you are downvoting, you reply with a comment to let them know the reason you downvoted."
Wow awesome. That said, i think there is some degree of resistence to this.
I finally looked issue 215 and its interesting. Regarding what you brought up... the flag/downvote seperation issue... I don't really see why we need a flag at all. The downvote does everything we need it to do. Besides the fact that we elect to call it a flag, theres nothing about it thats different than a downvote would be.
