RE: The Future of Steemit
The number one reason to flag content is disagreement on rewards. Below are the listed reasons for flagging. Click on the flag and you will see for yourself. Thanks,
Flagging a post can remove rewards and make this material less visible. Some common reasons to flag
Disagreement on rewards
Fraud or Plagiarism
Hate Speech or Internet Trolling
Intentional miss-categorized content or Spam
I see that. Have to say I disagree with lumping a simple "downvote" in with a "flag".... they're two very different things.
Actually, they aren't
In most platforms, they are. Flagging a thing is flagging it... usually some sort of inappropriate content/spam/kiddie porn/racism/threats/etc. The idea of flagging is it raises awareness on a method of filtering content. Be it a manual admin, or an automated system like we have here where it actually hides the content from people/feeds/etc.
A downvote is "I didn't like your content or have a differing opinion." Not "your content is abusive and should be removed."
In the white paper disagreement on rewards isn't even mentioned
