RE: How Do You Feel About Steemit's First Playmate?
As long as an NSFW filter is implemented, prominent, and aggressively enforced by the community, the platform can support.
How individuals behave has to be up to them within the confines of the downvote/upvote structure at existing laws for their jurisdiction.
I think there's a been a lot of confusion regarding "downvote" verses "flag" because of the change made there. I joined just over a month ago, so it's always been a "downvote" for me. The reputation system adds another layer to the game theory as well. Recently I saw a comment downvoted because the author was being kind of a jerk. I replied suggesting an alternative approach, but then realized I probably should also downvoted also because (IMO) the person's reputation score was too high to be leaving comments like that. I didn't though... I also don't want a censorship mentality on a decentralized platform which is all about the lack of censorship.
I flagged a pornographic comment this morning which got me thinking the comments need a "not safe for work" checkbox or something. Actually, the main post editor could benefit from that as well.
It's going to be interesting to see how this community evolves as it grows and how the early seeds of growth impact the larger perceptions of the system for every day people deciding whether or not to join.
