RE: Why I Flag ozchartart

in #steemit8 years ago (edited)

@dantheman Thank you. When I talk to investors and they see you as CEO flagging pricing and market information such as ozchartart, they assume you are trying to hide something.

I can respect this explanation and will point to it when investors ask why this information is being hidden.

If you would please look at adding an option to "downvote" instead of flagging, especially for content that should not be censored just knocked down in value a bit. In otherwords take away some payment, but do not hide the content, I could totally get behind that.

In the meantime, I'm literally begging everyone here...
Don't flag naked. Explain why you're flagging and what people can do about it. Otherwise that flagging itself is just passive aggressive abuse. Have a spine, stand tall and explain why you went to the trouble of flagging. It'll prevent hard feelings and promote discussion and community.

My 0.2steem on the matter.

Good points made. I've made a slightly longer comment in this comment section, with a few other suggestions as well.

I think declaring why you flag is most important when it's not due to simple spam/trolling etc.

The flag wasn't hiding the content. But I do agree it should be visually understandable. It should be obvious that it's a down vote and that there is no authority to report abuse to. It's a very simple change that would just make things clearer and there would be much less need to explain how the down vote differs from the up vote.

I flag The Dollar because he steals money from innocent people.
