My (Final) Solution to the Flagging Drama

in #flagging9 years ago (edited)

Flagging is a topic on Steemit everyday. It seems to be hurting feelings. People are trying to come up with different solutions to the issue.

I have finally come up with a way to preserve the flagging feature as a mechanism, but to also spare all hurt feelings across the platform.

We replace the flag with a balloon!

The benefits are obvious:

With the new system, with upvotes and balloons, the user wins either way!

  • You get an upvote, you get rewards. Great!
  • You get a balloon, well, hey, free balloon!

Who doesn't like a free balloon?

Also, something that could be considered is even using a Wigglytuff, the balloon pokémon, according to the Pokédex:

Who could ever be upset at receiving a Wigglytuff?

Steemit, are you with me!

Credit to @ats-david for making me realize the glory of balloons!

I can see the benefits of this proposal already!

I have been Trigglypuffed!


what about her? We might need to think for something less dangerous...

Somebody give this man a free balloon!

Why not puppies - or a "safe space" icon?

Yup... I can totally get behind this initiative. Pretty much any word other than flag would be an improvement... even if nothing else were different.
