RE: There is a "Steemit Culture Clash" going on right now. Is it time for tough love?

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

just because someone may dislike or disagree with a post that is not a good reason to flag after all above all else it is about freedom if everyone starts flagging then steem is doomed to failure as the nazi dark side of people come out and censors everything they dislike, if any one dislikes something then do not read or watch it, how would any of you feel if you where on the receiving end of flagging you would say it is not fair and etc, and what about freedom of speech and etc

Sort:  

Difference of opinion is ok, we should celebrate that. What he highlights above is more towards the spammy comments. I think as the site grows, those spammy comments will get buried deep without the need to flag it.

the word spam is very broad and can and will include any and everything as spam like beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. what may be spam to one person may not be spam to someone else, and it is a very slipper slop to nazi censorship which would destroy stem forever

No, it really isn't very broad. It's quite clear. I just received another spam comment on another article in fact.

Look at this guys comment section: https://steemit.com/@enomujjass/comments

This is pure spam 100%. This is what will degrade the system. Check it out and tell me you don't agree. This guy is just fishing for money and not adding any value to the site. I flagged him and will again if I see it again.

even i sometimes type those same words and i mean them to thank you for sharing
but if a person feels the need to comment then let them after all. they may actually mean it. are you upset that someone was being polite and thanked you or commented on your post

You just don't get it. It's exactly as I said, some people have a spam culture in them. I'm not going to argue with you, but if you ever leave a spammy comment on one of my articles I will flag you, and I will probably flag you if I see it around the site as well, as will others. Just be real and actually contribute to the site. That's all I'm asking. I know you don't get it but I hope you will either change or get frustrated and leave because you're not making Steemit a better place.

"even i sometimes type those same words and i mean them to thank you for sharing" Translation: "Even I am a spammer".

also i like photography and art and anyone that posts pictures that i like i always let them know if i see something i do not like i do not post anything,

The more you keep arguing the more I continue to know you don't get it. Nothing you are saying is making the situation better. Just think about what I've said.

ok i will but try to understand mine to i like to talk and comment of thing i like and to encourage people and thank you for this time of learning

I just checked your comments section. You left over 40 comments in the past hour, nearly one a minute, all of them very quick, off the cuff remarks, pretty generic. So, I see now why you're defending spam, you're right on the borderline. At least your comments on this article are 100% real. :)

well i watch and read alot and if the person shares something i like i will always let them know and i see you point but again all those comments i made i meant from the heart and i will give and share my thoughts with anyone

40 comments in one hour are not comments that came from the heart or that have substance. DO BETTER!

Well said I totally agree got my vote

thank you

@needmorefat has it right. I never would suggested (nor did I) that people should be flagged for disagreements. I said they should be flagged for spam. Maybe you didn't really read this article and just skimmed it? I think I made that pretty clear.
