Is it OK to flag a post for being misleading? This is.
No, personally I don't think it is ok to flag a post for that reason. Even if @sascha is wrong, and I don't know whether that is the case or not, they are still entitled to their opinion, as are you. If you believe the post to be misleading, the place for that is in the comments, in the form of (polite) disagreement. That's how I see it anyway, for what it's worth.
(Don't know I shouldn't be allowed to reply directly to your comment, but here goes.)
"personally I don't think it is ok to flag a post for [being misleading]."
Ok, then maybe I'll write a post about the magical wonders of garlic. How I cut it and I can just sense the energy it gives off. How you can use it to fend off vampires and how spreading it in a ring around you protects you from overexposure to cosmic energetic radiation.
Maybe, I'll write a post about how Steemit.com is being run by unchristly "demons" and because they never told us this, they didn't tell the truth. If they didn't tell the truth, then that's a scam.
Breaking news right? That should deffinately deserve 421 votes so I can make over 1.000$ on my misleading post. ---- And noone should ever flag me, because misleading as it was, it was still my own perspective and writing.
I might go even further. I might claim that the Steemit team are all members of the illuminati. I might give really intimated details of what they do and create epic pictures of them, making them with fangs, looking down and laughing at the burning world, the scenery filled with strange biblical and masonic symbols.
It all came to me in a dream and I just had to tell the Steemit community the truth. All sorts of different whales on this site could be mischarachterized etc. (not on purpose of course)
Should it really not be OK to flag for misleading, then I think the community will suffer tremendously.
Hopefully flagging will be dispensed with in later versions of Steemit - right now I see it as the main thing I would like to bin. ALL censorship sucks...
Haha, you're a funny guy :-)
If you wrote those things I probably wouldn't even read them, definitely wouldn't upvote them, might not even bother to argue with you about them. But I also wouldn't flag them, as I would trust the other members of the community to make their own judgments about them.
And I think ultimately, that's where our philosophical difference lies. You think you have the right, and the responsibility, to help other people make up their minds. I don't.
oh and by the way, I think you couldn't reply direct to me as we were nested too deep.
3rd ps - I realise you personally didn't flag, and even upvoted because you thought the flag was unfair. My comment is directed to all who agree with the concept of flagging posts that might be considered to be misleading.
