It seems like I cannot even talk on the platform these days.I also support actions against spammers and scammers.
If my comment contray someone else's view, there's 90% chance of getting flagged.It doesn't matter who is right or who is wrong. The only thing matters is who is bigger than whom.
Is this how the platform should be working anyway?

Crispy sounds silly but it sort of reminds me of the early days of World of Warcraft, when you would go to the outlands and try to do either one of the flags or if you happen to get yourself kicked into PVE mode and some higher guy would come and just tear you up over and over again, and then stand on your dead corpse what we did for your ghost to come back. Once you would revive your body they would just kill you again. If you didn't know anybody that was a big fish this could mean that either you'd be stuck trying to get away from this person and waste some precious game time playing or you could choose their little Rez here, I don't remember what it was called but there was a deficit with it and you have to go fix your items and it was stupid. I haven't personally had any bad experiences on here this far and I've only run into one person that I ended up just blocking. I didn't even run into them on Steam though, I actually ran into them on Discord but I'd seen their stuff on Steam. I've actually liked a few things of theirs on Steam since then, I just don't want to talk to them because they were at last time and I don't know him well enough to confront them and I don't really care much about an apology. I prefer to make friends on here but sometimes, energies just don't mix.

I definitely think that the spammers should get their day, but I'm not sure how I feel about censorship and or flagging, unless there's some sort of recourse and boundaries that are clearly defined before the flagging begins. It's like you don't just go and yell at somebody if they have absolutely no idea that they did something and it wasn't their intent to do so.

Most of our laws are based on intent, the intent to steal something the intent to cause bodily harm the intent to commit fraud. Those are just some examples. They are also good examples of things that can happen simply because people don't know any better or because they had a bad day and they said something that they shouldn't have and it came across differently than it might have otherwise.

I've heard it said a lot of ways and the only one I have been able to Source personally is Aleister Crowley, but the essence of the quote is you can't properly break the rules without knowing them in entirety. I think this goes for not only the people that might potentially break them, but it requires there to be another side of that where somebody actually knows the rules and then both sides need to express them to each other.

If rules are posted or easy to find they're not going to be followed. It's that simple. That's why we have big huge flashing lights when we drive our cars and double yellow lines. I don't know about all of you but I'm not even 40 and I'm sick of all this fighting and Bullshit. It's true what they say that youth is wasted on the young. I'm not directing that anyone here specifically because I'm having a really hard time not saying both sides of the fence.

I can understand how small fish, new individuals, the less than popular crowd which by no means makes them less interesting or important, those that don't know technology, those that don't have time to read a white paper that's the equivalent to the book because they have children and debt and they didn't come to these realizations in their twenties and their stuck... the list goes on and on about what the disenfranchised in the disadvantaged would benefit from. Then there are those that have perhaps impressive social skills, maybe they were born with a high Charisma stat, maybe they put all of their points into some obscure Humanity feat that allows them to do in manifest exactly what they want and all they want as a social structure and popularity. I don't know. I don't even care. Even with all this bickering and fighting I still like the site, I come back even though I can't be consistent and because I can't be consistent I don't make as much I'm here as I probably could have if I really hustled. I'm a freelance writer, I have been for over 12 years. And before that I was a part-time for you that's writer so, if you put all the time that I worked from home to gather you get around 17 18 years experience. Somehow I've managed to pay my bills and make the world work even though I've stepped outside of the social Norm. How you want to live is up to you it just depends on what you're willing to do to get it. We are not everything else is just a huge debate that nobody is prepared for, which you can tell by the swearing and borderline name-calling.

no matter which side you're on if you're going to set and bitched about how things need to change or how you like the way that they are or how you appreciate the transparency, things aren't going to change until all of us on both sides can learn to talk and work together. I don't think it's that hard. I mean granted this is tldr so I might as well just go out there balls deep and say what I want to say. But you don't put it into a steem post. for now I just want to know what reward pool rape is LOL I would also like to not get flagged, that'd be cool. With that I want and in the factory saying, I just realized there was a little bit of, not a lot but a twinge, I fear. So I guess if ruling by tyranny is your goal... well, more power to you.
