Howdy sir mepatriot! I agree, it should be a free and open forum with no ability to harm others just because you disagree with them. Otherwise I think the growth is severely limited in the future. If downvoting was done away with and true freedom of speech was allowed I think the growth would be amazing.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
I wouldn't say we need to "do away with it," just require people to check a box as to why, with one for "politics/ideology," and if they click that one, the downvote doesn't go through. Then, if they abuse that, the person offended could appeal.
good idea.
Thanks, Jon. Something needs to change, or the site can't endure.
I got flagged to oblivion on few posts this last few days - and they were just asking questions about steemit and it's organization/big players.... oh, and one about ways we can counter ideological flaggers! - yes, really...
a sad state of affairs..
