RE: New Personal Policy: Flagging all zero-value-add vote/follow begging comments.
The reward pool is limited. By flagging low quality content, you increase the percentage of the reward pool that goes towards good quality content. Flagging is a useful service to the whole community. It isn't censorship, since no matter how badly a comment gets flagged, it can still be read.
I have no clue. If a comment is flagged it will prevent that person from getting any reward so that the other commenters have a bigger reward? Or is that not correct either? I tend to stay confused, Sorry. Thank you for any reply and take care. Paul
It is like a negative vote. If a comment is upvoted to the value of say $0.13 and then someone flags it whose voting power normally grants a $0.10 vote, then the comment (or post) will end up still earning $0.03. If it is downvoted into negative value, then it gets hidden from view (at least via the steemit platform), although it isn't censored because the user can still click to read it after all.
Thank you for the info.
Did not know that. Thanks
