RE: Some info about my activity and my stance on flags
SHOULDN'T IT TAKE MORE FLAGS THAN UPVOTES TO HAVE SOMEONE'S POST DOWN RATHER THAN ONE PERSON DOMINATING THE SHOW
That's how it works here, a vote is only worth what the user's SP is. If this wasn't that way we'd see a lot more fake activity like on Reddit where 1 vote equals 1 vote which means there are shady services that people can buy 1000 votes on and pretend 1000 unique users have voted on a post.
But yeah, there's going to be all sorts of activity on a decentralized platform. My best advice is to let go and look forward to writing more posts and connect with likeminded people that appreciated reading your content.
Yeah, seeing this topic has been coming up A LOT lately, it's certainly been informative to learn what the flagging system is designed to do and I agree with it whole-heartedly in principal. That said, as a very small fish the fact that you stand a good chance of getting your content squashed just for excercising that option means that the majority of minnows are never going to flag anything so the system doesn't really get integrated at the lower levels.
Hence the whole freak out when it actually starts being used. For the time being I guess it remains a way for bigger players to 'voice their displeasure'
