RE: Poll: Flags or Downvotes?

in #poll5 years ago

No.

Let’s be real for a moment here, after Steemit rolled out the first condenser the dotcom folks quickly learned the reasons behind flagging cannot be policed, controlled, or regulated.

This is when STINC threw in the catch-all "disagreement on rewards" as if applying a bandaid to a bullet-wound ("problem solved"). I’d like the ability to disagree with the content of a post without affecting its reward potential.

Afterall who am I to tell someone their writing efforts isn‘t worth what someone else is willing to reward them via their hard-earned or rightfully purchased steem power?

So, why not just keep the flag tool as it is with all of its specious reasonings, but also include a downvote button just on the condenser side, or with json transactions that don‘t affect the reward potential.

My idea doesn't remove the ability to flag, nor does it encourage flagging. It would provide an outlet for people to disagree with a post ideologically without conveying the illusion or reality of fuckery.

Just imagine a world where not only could you withhold from your waitress her tip because of poor service, but you could also do an action that erases her days' tips. For good or ill, on this platform, we really don't have to imagine that hard.

Sort:  

Because people work hard for those tips, opinions earned those tips and opposite opinions shouldn't erase them.
