@sweetsssj is another user that is in her own special category. The rewards pool has never been raped by a prettier asian. LOL

Nothing personal & I was only quoting another posters comment.

Yes I know. I'm aware of that as well. Unfortunately I can only battle one issue lol

No probs. At least I know at least one other does

Steemit works in such a way that we as stake holders are the governing body. It is up to us to flag the posts to lower the rewards. The problem the retaliation is crushing people's blogs. This is something I have to sacrifice in order to make Steemit better for everyone as well as keep the damn thing alive

Can anonymous flags to be implemented on HF20?

I'm not sure what can and can't be implemented or if it even will. I am not a witness either

You have done your homework. I actually figured there was a bunch of them doing this sort of thing.

That could be something @grumpycat might be able to do something about. At least if I understand his compliance thing properly. Sure, his compliance thing is about the bid bots, but who knows.

Flagging / down votes just creates wars. IMHO

Flagging / down votes just creates wars.

I agree to disagree.

It's obviously not fun to receive downvotes, but what people must start to understand is that downvotes/flags are mostly issued whenever someone does not agree with the rewards. It's even stated "disagreement of rewards" as the first thing in the list.

Also if what you've stated above, about sweetsssj upvoting the same authors articles on the 6th day... Then that is something she's doing so others won't have a chance to flag those articles in time to reduce the rewards. Which obviously is a bad thing too. Because it should be a fair and even "playfield" for everyone so to speak.

Another thing, that is extremely bad in my opinion regarding this, is the fact that she has this much power due to @ned. And when she got this incredible delegation, she started her own vote-selling business too. Which ultimately means that she's not only upvoting her own articles with 100%. She also sells votes and apparently vote on friends or whatever, on the 6th day to enrich them as much as possible, and they're doing all of this, "under the radar".

Edit:

It could kill steem! IMHO

In my opinion there's only one thing that can kill Steemit as a platform.. And that is greed. Which we apparently have a shitload of.

I agree, sort of. The flagging that concerns me is the whale literally wiping out a minnow due to a difference of opinion on a topic.

That just means people are afraid to voice an opinion or comment in case they get downvoted by a whale.

Yeah.. And Steemit is all about being decentralized and uncensored. - But in reality, there are a great deal of censorship on this platform. But it's called "disagreements" instead.
