Directly related.
Try to ignore my rep - it is a direct result of exposing the truth.
Yes, it's sad to see all these personal vendettas being carried out with flagging and bots...
But that's a problem with the game rules and not a problem with flagging as a tool. There are many legitimate uses for a "downvote"!
The problem in these quarrels lies in 2 aspects (imho):
those are systemic issues that need to be discussed.
But that's nothing @sherlockholmes will pay much attention to, I am looking for genuine scammers and cheaters!
replacing flags with just "mute" will save everyone from vendettas =)
Just think about it
spam will still remain invisible after muting
no user can be downvoted till zero
there's already system of stimulation running, what's the point of penalty system? if user gets no upvotes, any spammer will eventually stop, am I right?
Spam in long-term, has only one point - to earn. In short term - just to annoy someone.
I do not agree!
Muted users can essentially continue doing their thing "invisibly". They will continue to abuse the reward pool, extracting money from the platform!
To stop illegitimate value extraction, flags are necessary!
The meaning of "illegitimate" may be up to dispute, and maybe subjective, but flags are a defense mechanism!
'edit': see my latest case for reference!
Or just putting a power limit on voting, so you don't get this ridiculousness if 50+ people love your content, and one goose with a chip on their shoulder doesn't, but he has a big stick.
If it is spam, you will get 50+ people hating your content.
what will stop army of bots then?
50? 100? 500 bots come and flag you for 1%
and your post is doomed =)
Yes, but harder to hide behind a single protective entity like steemcleaners, and way more obvious to anyone investigating TOS - and a REAL pain in the ass if your accounts get terminated.
this again is a problem in power distribution, not flagging as such!
Make it happen! :P
slaves will always be slaves. Even if they build their own country, they still establish prisons and police for themselves =)
You know why Moses wandered in desert for 40 years? he was just waiting till slaves die and only truly free people are born and grow up
