He just needs to be informed.

He knows, it is users like him that make video's on YouTube bringing people here with a turnkey way to scam the system, that requires we will always need flags.

He isn't known as Scamfield for just any reason.

And anyone blind to his tactics needs to go too, we have enough sheep to deal with, without adding stupid sheep.

Bots and the like are technical issues. They should be handled with a technical solution. The flag only complicates that issue. Nothing good can ever come from the flag.

Show me a single censored post and I will agree with you.

I think you and many others are confused between being censored and having your personal payout corrected, all funds removed on a post go back to the community. Like when Jerry boosted this bullshit post above $1,000 the community corrected it as it isn't worth $10. He is very lucky more users do not care about the community or it would be blanked out.

Silencing a voice is censorship by any other name. Taking their money is theft.

I said show me an example of a comment or post that is not able to be read. If it is able to be seen by any means then it is truly not censored. The "money" is also not yours until it is paid to you by Steemit.com.

Every example above is an example of ownership being taken. It would be like comparing the two of us applying for the same job and if I got the job I "stole" it from you. If the job was not yours, I can not steal it, same as if the payout is not sent to your steem wallet it has also not been stolen, you never OWNED it.

It is still potential earnings. It is still the product of work and time. A fine point, but I think it is still a valid one. Like someone stealing your paycheck out of your bosses hand. The person making a post can spend many hours on it only to have it rendered impotent and by the time you address it the 30 second window of shelf life has already expired. The flag also represents an idea which many (such as myself) will find reprehensible. You must admit it is a very hard sell, and member retention will suffer. Too many BIG problems with the flag. Just the idea that enforcement is in the hands of the miscreants, trolls and spammers makes me a bit uncomfortable making a financial investment. If the flag were dropped membership would soar, member retention would be great.

Seriously, I see no upside to the flag. All I see is it killing the platform slowly.

I left facebook because of censorship to come here and find out it is even worse here.

I get censored posts as comments on my posts every day.

I can still view every comment on your post, nothing is censored.

You can see the reputation score go into the negative. An example is Biblegateway They have a minus reputation score, And It looks like it got that way by means of religious bias. Imagine what happens when someone posts a picture of a MAGA hat. The door is wide open for religious and political persecution. And with no legal recourse, no due process...just a lynch mob.
