RE: luke-stokes Just Became a Lifetime BitShares Member

please allow me to add to that issue of flagging. as for me i guess you should reach out to the person and ask him why he keeps repeating the same thing and tell him it can be considered spamming and if he goes on you will need to flag him.

then you would have given him the chance to explain and at the same time put him through because not everybody knows this thing.

And a question i want to ask is would you have upvoted it if it was somethimg else.

A lady flagged one of my post saying i stole somebody's work. Well i used a little help and i did not know i was supposed to reference it. It was a mistake and as a matter of fact i was a novice then. To me i felt bad. Not because she flagged me but because one she did not warn me or try to put me through and 2, she would have just passed by without upvoting if there was nothing wrong with the post. i Messaged her on chat and told her it was a good thing she did what she did. She was trying to keep the community clean. but i asked her why she did not upvote other post that she was sure were mine. she only gave an excuse. As human beings we have different opinions and i respect your opinion but at the same time i think i can share mine too. As for me i think flagging should come after warning and it should be done in a way that it will not be seen as an act of wickedness. If someone that jhas been upvoting me suddenly flag me because i made a mistake i will be glad about it and have it in mind that he just wants me to be better. But if someone like you that i have never heard from before i will not be happy about it at all.

if the guy is a spammer, he deserves some punishment but you need to be sure before you dish out the punishment and dont do it because you have the ability to do it. Do it because it is the right thing to do. Are you upvoting original works or you are just going around flagging people because of your sp. like @surpassinggoogle said

sone with 45sp on steemit might have 500btc elsewhere. OR he might be family with strong whales.

What do you think will happen if you flagged him unjustly?

I respect the community and its rules so i uphold originality. You can check my wall to confirm that. Thank you for being a good steemian

steem on

I am not saying i am justified with all i have said but i just shared my opinion

Hi ewuso. I totally agree with everything said. Especially sending a warning before downvoting or flagging. I usually do the warning in even fairly blatant cases. However once in a blue moon it goes beyond spam. It’s spam and almost certainly “scam”. If it’s spam only then it’s a warning. If it’s spam that smells like ‘scam”, then it’s more serious.

The following is the typical text of one of my warnings:
“Munawar1235: This comment is for your benefit so you don't find others downvoting or flagging you.

Please help keep Steemit free of spam posts.

If you like a post, it is generally sufficient to upvote it unless you want to join in the debate.

In this case you did not even upvote the post.

Short comments like “awesome”, “nice post” “amazing post” or “really helpful” are generally not seen as part of the debate on the topic ,and if repeated across multiple posts, may be interpreted as spam.

Downvotes or flags can lower your reputation, can result in the removal of rewards, and may result in your posts not being seen by others.‘

yeah thank yhu for this. Together we can make steemit greater.
keep steeming
