RE: Bully Whales Pt.4 - Post On Flagging Solutions? DENIED @smooth: I will be flagging this post if it still has significant rewards ($11)
Without inserting my opinion on this debacle, I'll just say that this platform needs community polling. That's the one thing that appears to be missing. Flags may be the perfect opportunity to introduce them. This way, applying an all-encompassing flag which, perhaps, could knock a post completely down to $0 would be a community decision, rather than a decision made by a select few.
Quarterly community polling, with say 10 questions about what the community feels most needs to be addressed, might be a good idea to help developers, etc. Right now people have to "make noise" about what they feel is the most important issues, and I hate "noise"... I hope you make a post on the idea in the meantime. Sounds interesting to me.
While it may be a good idea, the polls would probably be answered by more bots than actual users, so how are we to tell that the results are really the wishes of the community and not a few influential sock-puppet owning individuals?
See, and that's where my previous suggestion of requiring a certain reputation level to participate came from, but I've since been informed by @picokernel that the rep points are more of a user aesthetic than a real metric that can be used, because it's not something used on the blockchain itself. It's just a nice little ego stroker of a figure. It's not "consensus".
