RE: STEEMIANS need to DOWNVOTE More!!!!!!!!!
Upvoted and resteemed because I very much share the same sentiment. But I must stress the importance of having a clear constitution regarding flags. I don't know if you were involved in the discussion but there was a case where some whales were flagging because they deemed the posts were earning too much. These were accounts like @dollarvigilante @sgtreport @michelle.gent
People should be flagged for what's objectively bad and not based on some arbitrary valuation on what a post is worth. I think @miti would find you reported list of offenders helpful.
Now here is the worst part: https://steemit.com/@simaroy/comments
A serial spammer with a reputation of 59. Since lower reputation flags won't drive this guys rep down, he's still at 59 even after @miti downvoted him. If you guys know anyone with 60 or higher reputation, flag the above cancer out of steemit.
Yeah that guy must be related to the same dude that I posted links about.. It's garbage, his whole blog is garbage.. I think the whole "FLAG" thing as it currently is positioned, labelled etc is dumb and mislabeled. Its just a down vote and should be moved down under the article and have equal real estate with the upvote button.. We should keep a flag but it should be reserved for users with rep of 50 or higher and for items such as illegal content, drug sales, porn, offensive content, racial content, that kind of stuff.. As for downvoting based on earnings.. I'm not sure the politics that went into that.. I'm not a fan of upvoting my own posts or comments to make a buck or push myself forward as I think that is questionable behavior. Did I do it previously, yes.. but at that time I was not seeing the larger picture in that my power should be used to benefit others.. If I have 1,000,0000 STEEM Power and am using that to vote up my own articles to make more then I think that could be gaming the system and abuse of power.. I don't know I will have to see what happens when I get there.. .
