Why Do People Down Vote

in #downvote10 years ago (edited)

I just joined steemit and have already had people flagging my posts.
why?
Is this what steemit is all about?
People disagree with your life style so they flag your posts?
Not even 24 hours on steemit and am already thinking of quitting.
Will someone tell me why they are flagging me?
Does not make me want to tell people I work with about steemit. :(
They are down voting this posts and not saying why.

Sort:  

We flag spam. If you are here selling a product.. (your body and services) That does not add to the community.

Your flagging does not add to the community. Thank you for making me quit. I do not want anything to do with your idea of a "community"
I am going to talk about how horrible steemit is to everyone for the next week.
your going to end up with a community of 8 people like this.

I made a post yesterday talking about voting on steemit. could you please check it out and add to the comments. I think your point of view will be helpful in the conversation.

Wow, That's fucked up. Im sorry they treated you like that. I hope you come back. :(

Hi @brinysnow - I'm sorry to hear you are having a tough time on Steemit.

I think the reason you have been flagged is because people don't actually believe you are who you claim to be.

Unfortunately there have been a lot of people trying to make money by posting someone else's pictures and trying to profit off them.

If you are genuine then you can prove it by posting a short video or some photos of yourself holding up a sheet of paper with your Steemit ID. This is not perfect but it is better than nothing and should suffice.

Alternatively if you already have an official blog where you post your photos you can make a post on there that links to your Steemit profile.

You can appeal flags which you feel are inappropriate by going to the chat and using the #steemitabuse-appeals channel.

Only do this if you have already posted verification and the offending flag has not been removed.

I hope this helps.

I think she already quit. :/
I have been watching this flagging shit make people quit on the daily.
steemit is going to end up with 10 people because everyone elese has left. All because a couple people run around flagging people thinking they are helping but really they are destroying steemit.
