When a content creator on Hive submits their content, they are submitting it for a rating from stakeholders. Stakeholders provide the rating from -100 to +100
It is how the system works. There is no way to say "as a content creator, I only accept ratings in this range" or "as a content creator, ratings from this rang to this range require explanation while ratings from that range to that range can be done handled this other way"
Tagging people because you don't like the rating they left is pretty poor form for a content creator and indicates that content creation may not be your jam. Whatever the scale available - 1 to 5, 1 to 10, -100 to 100, people will leave ratings within the range. Lobbing insults and having this kind of meltdown really isn't very good content

It's very confusing why this comment has been upvoted above all the other comments the author of the post responded to, this comment was the least relevant to content in the article as well.
I think it is nice to give a reason when giving a low rating to a piece of content. Not that my stake is so large as to zero anyone's potential rewards haha
Since I gave the post a low rating, I made clear why I think it is especially poor content, why I think that warrants a downvote, and why I encourage you to not worry too much about downvotes. Perhaps that resonated with some. Perhaps they'd like it to resonate with you
Your elementary description of DPOS was not helpful, and you missed the topic of the article entirely in the 2nd paragraph...
Not all DPoS chains have blogs. Of the ones that do, not all of them offer ratings below 0. Clarifying my stance before explaining my reasoning may very well have been needed given that you think it an elementary explanation of DPoS
Whether tagging and insults are the topic of the article or not, it is poor content
My view on ratings + my view of the content = my reason for rating this content the way I have
You seemed to feel very strongly that you are entitled to an explanation. While I disagree, I have given it to you as clearly as I am able. If it is not clear enough, then you have my apologies. It was only an attempt on my part to help meet your expectations. In the future, it will probably be best if I do not give a reason
I don't give a fuck about the explanation, I am saying the comment utility is broken on Hive because your spam is voted higher than the rest of the replies that understand the article.
This is a blog, i make to share my thoughts and opinions on topics that I follow.
Where is the insult?
This is obviously untrue. The rating in no way changed your ability to express anything. Nothing was infringed. Making false claims about someone is insulting. Especially when the claim is something like the removal of your basic right to freedom of expression. All of your expressions are still in place, still visible, and you are just as free to make more
The rest of the witnesses expressed their discern in the comments when they downvote, and I have civilly discussed many flaggings in the past.
This was the lowest quality experience I have ever had, being flagged by a witness, on steemit pre-march 2020 or hive until the present.
I have never taken a vote away from any witnesses yet on the hive, and I have a community of IRL friends who follow what I say, so I keep them informed and do ratings with my own opinion like this commonly.
If you are interested in my posts, blog or comments in anyway you can expect me to study the data, and use it how I see fit, which may include but may not be limited to pundit style interpretations of the current events in my life, subconscious included.
I denounce @hextech for the unexplained flags, and I am happy to further express my opinion on the topic if you would like to consider the flags that don't strawman me.
Not sure I follow. Are you saying it isn't an insult to say someone is infringing your freedom of expression when they clearly are not, or that it's ok to lob the insult because subconsciously believe it to be fact regardless of the evidence?
I don't suppose it matters too much, was just trying to follow along. If you think tagging and insulting is good content, you may be right. I'm no blogger. Maybe calling people out as some sort of rights infringer when they don't give your content a satisfactory rating is the perfect get-rich-quick scheme 🤷♂
To clarify: I don't think it's good content and I won't be rating it as good content. How much that matters to you is completely up to you, of course. Was just trying to provide feedback and explain how the system works. Good luck with your blog and forcing everyone that rates your content to explain themselves to you. Many are nice enough to do so, but this entitled attitude is a pretty big turn off
To simplify,
You have interacted with me, and made yourself present in my life. I have the right to self righteous indignation in Canada. Sorry if you're from a shithole authoritarian state, but I can speak my mind here.
