If you look at high power curators it looks like they get SP and SBD for curation. At least that is how it WAS. I checked and it looks like it is just steem power now.
Good post by the way. There are some vocal people (some of them powerful) that really like flagging. Some have implied wanting to stop flagging for all but plagiarism, spam, and abuse is nothing but a person's ego. So they think ego is the reason we don't see the value of a flag for disagreement, thinking something is overvalued, etc. Kind of seems like the pot calling the kettle black to me. I tried to debate it and it was implied I should check out some Eckhart Tolle and Alan Martin so I can get my ego in check. :P So I am checking out Eckhart Tolle.
Yeah.... I worry about it as an option. Doesn't seem to have any assigned purpose (flagging). I just hated seeing an invisible post the other day flagged by groups that are "helping" and seeing it isn't really for anything, just seems against people. A shame.
Yep... it is really the only hostile thing I've really encountered that is beyond simply words. Words don't ding my reputation and reduce my potential earnings.
It hasn't happened to me by the way. I just am not a fan of aggression and hostility, and it seems to foster that.
Definitely not a fan of the bully vote... I hear you (also never been a victim)
