RE: Steem Wars: The Free Market Functions Beautifully. (Don’t beg for restrictive regulation!)
i think flags are okay, the problem is in emotion aspect and in the name of flag, i think we need downvote and flag separate functions. So people will not be so emotion if someone downvote their content . Ye i understand that money means a lot, but still if we have flags separate from downvotes then people will use them more and not be so shocked, like its bullying and so on. In youtube for example video can have a lot of likes and dislikes its ok, but if someone see something bad then they flag it.
I second that. It makes no sense that the same button works for expressing opinion on payout and for tagging spam. That's some bad UI right there.
To many the term "flag" is offensive. If there was an upvote and downvote voting scale in the same interface, people wouldn't get as hurt by said flagging. I know I wouldn't. But as it is now, flagging by users who have more power than they can use feels like a kick to the face, especially to newcomers who invest a lot in their work.
You may be on to something there. I have had similar thoughts before, as well.
