RE: Screw Malicious Flagging: 1 Flag Vs 130+ Votes

in #steemit7 years ago

In my experience in online content circles, this kind of nonsense happens and it seems nobody has worked out a way to fix it. I strongly believe that Steemit needs to institute a policy that decentivises false flagging, if someone flags a post and the post is deemed to be written in accordance with the guidelines, the flag should be reversed and the person who did it should be punished.

Maybe you get one chance to stop maliciously flagging if you do it, and repeat offenders are punished by having their earnings garneshed, reputation reduced and overall their power the more they choose to wrongly target content on the Steemit platform the less power they have until they give up and can't do damage.

I am new to Steemit, so maybe everything I've proposed is already possible and happening. But something needs to change, because it's discouraging for me as a new member of this platform to see content being flagged for no reason.

Gave you an upvote and follow, hopefully that helps contribute to offsetting malicious flags.

Thank you very much!
I think it's a problem we have to work on together. More than anything, people need to stop putting their heads in the sand.
Cheers man, every upvote counts and thank you for the follow.
Glad to have you aboard!
