RE: Community Engagement being suppressed by the @asshole account on here w. Flagging everything. My proposed democratic solution - Simple. A Vote.
One possible solution is to allow flags to be made only by people with a reputation above say 50. This would require them to post something I believe. I doubt anyone that just flags will be able to keep their reputation above 50. Even 30 might be good if you feel like folks just starting out should have the right to flag - it would be easy to go from the 25 starting rep to 30.
The problem with voting an account out that I can see is that if you don't take the funds the user can simply transfer them to a new account and start over i.e. @asshole2 etc.
I've heard the Rep. Score idea before, it is pretty good.... but creates a barrier to those innocent people, that have just joined, or do not / cannot post much with life getting in the way.
People should not necessarily have punitive restrictions on them for reasons like this.... but of course, some people are not active for other reasons, perhaps less desirable or honourable, etc.
Sure accounts could keep setting up --- but they have to go thru the hassle, the process which is currently not easy... and then fund it with some Steem Power to start their flagging again.
Not many people will bother with that, as a result.
They will start flagging, run into this stop-gap by design and have to start all this over again with the #SteemitPolice so to speak LOL.
Nobody is going to keep that up.
Once in awhile in life you really have to do something that stands for something like this which can fairly protect Liberty and the social responsibility that comes with not only starting a platform like this -- but falls to the rest of the community members and stakeholders like we all are too.
