Hmm. So what's the story behind your rep slipping to this level? ๐ฒ
Upvoted. ๐
Observed one user promoting "flag other's high value content, it's great!" while abusively self-upvoting his own posts/comments. Since said user's posts mainly reflect an urging of everyone to join and invest (as well as use a referral link for BitConnect, which is now seriously under scrutany for having no white paper or proof of a trading bot even existing.... yet another crypto-scam), I came to the conclusion he was committing a type of online financial fraud and called him out. He hit me with just 5 flags (brought my Rep of my 2 week old account down from 50 to 5, his wannabe followers hit me with a few flags of their own to bring it down to 3).
Since reading the "White Papers" I realize the abuse and option to commit fraud are built into the system, so now I choose to call out the system rather than the individual abusive users.
Ohh! Sorry to hear this ๐. It was a really hard way to learn that! Even if one hasn't got enough SP, he/she can always invest some money to purchase whale votes to flag some one. So the whole purpose of flagging can be defeated with enough money! Rich people rules the world ...it's a capitalist economy here too. ๐
It's heartening to see your courage to labour your way up. Keep it up!๐
