RE: Thank You, Justice Was Done: But!
I think just like we have @steemflagrewards for good flags. It would be helpful if we had automated mechanisms for countering bad flags as well.
The problem is that most people would likely not upvote a post that has a significant negative rshares value. I think an alternative approach is instead of trying to cancel out the downvotes on the existing post is to instead have the content reposted and counter votes be used to bring the second posts to a positive value.
So, let's say a post is wrongfully flagged to oblivion. We just have them repost and upvote the repost. The downvoter could continue to downvotes the reposts but if the counter upvotes have more power I am certain they will eventually give up. This is me just thinking out loud but would be cool to see someone run with the idea
TBH I can't quite get my head around the concept of re-posting a downvoted post.... I've thought it through and hoped I could come up with something constructive to say, but I'm struggling... doesn't it just depend on the original 'bad flagger' sort of giving up?
And I'm taking it this also depends on some sort of collective anti-flag curation pools/ trails, with massive VP to reward the re-posted originally-flagged post, which I think is a good idea.
Yes, you got it. It would likely depend on both those things. When the flagger realizes the community does not support them such as in the case of a vindictive or hate flag. This will likely have a sway on subsequent actions.
Some people are bullheaded so may not work for them but think it could be helpful but it would especially need the second criteria you mentioned (massive collective VP).
It's the kind of thing I'd happily delegate a few SP to, we could sell it like an 'insurance policy'..... 100K users each delegating a few SP, that'd do it!
This needs to be a thing.
