RE: LOW-LIFE DOWNVOTING MEMBERS
"What enforcement mechanism would you propose?"
The same mechanisms that other platforms use: A combination of bots and member flagging/reporting, and of course the ability to actually remove the post, NOT just hide it.
How is flagging superior to downvoting?
I've had pages get flagged by competitors for the sole purpose of sabotaging me.
Even big yo.utubers complain about getting demonetized (even temporarily can be a big deal if it keeps you off the trending and recommended lists) by bogus flags.
"How is flagging superior to downvoting?"
Downvoting has an effect on member reputations, and can actually cause articles to be semi-hidden.
Flagging on the other hand would have no effect on the member's reputation or the status of the article itself, until such time as a neutral body reviewed the article to see if in fact should be removed. If the post was in fact against stated terms and conditions, then removal of it would take place, and with perhaps a warning sent to the offending member. Perhaps after 3 such warnings, the offending account would be terminated.
There it is. Where can we find one of these mythical "neutral bodies"?
