RE: My take on Flags and this Weeks Flag war
Thanks!
Taking the reward away is already punishment, and doing that only based on opinion is questionable. You see, lets say flat earthers should be flagged - and who else? Fundamentalist Muslims? Trump supporters? Bible thumpers? It only depends on your standpoint in those matters - and those people think the same way. Do you see where this is going?
I dont flagg posts because I have a different opinion on the subject. I may make a comment, if I see a chance for a reasonable discussion, thats all. I only flagg if I see posts that are harmful to the Steemit community, like fraud or other criminal activities. The last time was, when someone advertised perscription drugs like opioids here. Thats no matter of opinion, its simply a potential danger to Steemit, because it is a illegal activity.
But anyway, this is also just my opinion and you are free to do it your way.
Please go and check out the ecotrain network here on Steemit. Get into a discussion. You won't remain unflagged. I second your opinion that words should be better. But there are plenty of people out there who just want to be listened to, they don't feel like listening to others.
And we have such people in the German language blogs too.
