RE: Steemit Is Almost A Top 5,000 Site Worldwide! Traffic Is Still Exploding!
Im hoping it slows down, at least a bit, the website is being spammed by people asking for money in the "new" section and people putting up posts of them taking photos of flowers next to their house
The new section has always had a lot of garbage posts, and the higher the price of STEEM, the more garbage we see. I think that once communities are enacted (similar to Reddit's subreddits), it will go a long way in cleaning up the trash. I think moderators and users of the various communities will be vigilant in keeping spam out of the places on the site where they hang out.
This is super old.. but yes. We really need individual subreddit type communities. Navigation on the site is still a little difficult and disparate.
Well, come on, "every rose has its thorn"...
I think a more practical way of redistributing unfairly high rewards would help. I don't have a suggestion though. The current situation is, if you use a flag, there's a good chance you will see retaliation. There is sort of an unspoken "positivity only" social contract with some in these parts. The last flag I placed was on a "First!" poster who didn't read the post, and it was overruled by a larger user and he was then over-compensated several Steem worth as a result.
I recommend new users or minnows avoid authors and tags that might result in them wanting to flag or make negative comments.
