RE: A video answer to Jerry Banfield's Idea of Removing the flags

in #steem6 years ago (edited)

Agreed, the price of Steem is down because of the crypto winter, we will probably see a slight bump in prices when HF20 comes around but probably not as much as we would see in a general rally.

I disagree on changing the name from flag to downvotes because people may believe they are inconsequential, just like Reddit's downvotes, but flags are serious, you are supposed to use them in extreme cases, to send a message to the community, be it plagiarism, copy/paste, child pornography... Some people don't flag out of fear, because most of the worse actors that should be flagged are also backed by a lot more SP than the flagger, so maybe making flags anonymous could fix that side of things and i support the idea of getting a second vp bar just for flagging, so people don't have to debate between rewarding people and punishing bad actors.

Last thing, community consensus, its the most important thing on this platform and its the only thing that will maintain us afloat and so far, i believe the community response to Jerry's latest posts has been appropriate, he has been flagged and lost a lot of money for voting bots he paid to promote his weird things these past two weeks and he basically killed his witness career by dropping at least 15 spots on the list the last time i checked.

Pretty good video! One question though, why are you green? you didn't sound mad at all!

Sort:  

I like that, anonymous flags as an option sounds pretty good to me. the second vp for flagging might also be a good idea..

Green? it might just be the light, i used a terrible webcam.. eventually i'll get something decent.. maybe when the markets recover

;)
