RE: I Got Flagged Three Times Yesterday. Did You?
OMG, what's next?
They send you comments to request Steem and start blackmailing you?
Again I think this is a big disadvantage of this decentralized blockchain. As steemcleaners is trying to remove the Steemit delegation. Trying? This should already be done by now!
And even better those accounts should just be wiped out!
As far as wiping out the accounts goes, I'd be surprised to see that unless there's some drastic change in policy. As it is, you'd probably have more people up in arms than you would of the behavior. And while I'd like to have something done about it, more than just warning each other and hoping the flagging doesn't continue and actually start taking something off, I can see the point of those who would balk at the idea. You open the door for account burning, you essentially open it for everything eventually. At the very least, I can see the slippery slope.
But if there's a way to make them inactive on the platform, while still maintaining an account, that might do it. As it is, bashadow has an interesting theory about what could be going on, and if so, maybe we don't want them shut down just yet. :)
Is bashed own they specifically about those flagging accounts?
I'm not sure exactly what you asked, guessing you're on your phone here, but bascially bashadow was hypothesizing that these accounts may be trying to make a point. There's been some previous talk about giving flaggers a portion of the reward pool to incentivize more flagging. In other words, you'd earn something akin to curation while flagging.
These accounts could be saying that rewarding flaggers for downvoting wouldn't be a good idea. Some of them need no incentive as it is, and if someone were to create accounts with the express purpose of going around and downvoting, like these guys have, then it wouldn't be very good. As it is, people would be inclined to downvote indiscriminately until their VP ran out completely.
