RE: Partial Solution To Self-Upvote Stampede
So is it inappropriate to flag these types of abuses (if they are decided to be abuses?). Or is it that there is always a fear of being flagged back for this sort of thing?
Don't flag war instigate imo
more than anything else here I feel that flag wars are something that will bring down the whole platform...nobody want's to come into a war zone...worse still is people flee them
Yeah. Some of it is pretty good though. You want the community to respond to abuse and not just let it happen. It's a touch business.
agreed, still there is a fear, at least for myself, that I'll become a target of these miscreants...I really don't have the time to deal with personal attacks and be myself here...touchy sitch indeed!
EDIT: This message will be deleted once replied to...paranoia...cheap destroya :-/
@solar If you're a minnow you'll lose the flag war. Unfortunately we can't do too much aside from alerting the whales who support us to abusive self upvoters. We can try to point it out in comments, and not follow those people - but in the scheme of things, we also depend on the whales who remember what it was like to be a minnow (maybe not on here, but in life !) to use their power to protect the community as a whole.
