Yeah... like I said in my post: I (mostly) agree that we do need someone to keep things in check, but I don't think that "someone" should be a single person or even just a handful. The decisions are far too subjective.
but where do we draw the line? And who does the drawing?
and in addition: How does the offender rectify/appeal the line when that line is drawn incorrectly?
I totally get that we don't want the blockchain overrun with gambling apps
I actually disagree with this part. Not everyone is a seasoned writer, so writing 300/1000/???+ word articles is not necc. for everyone. Unless of course that is all we want HIVE to be... a blogging platform (as long as your articles meet XYZ criteria)
... a) I think that's very limiting... but b) then we sit with the problem again of drawing that line of what IS blogging and what should be downvoted.
Is sharing a post with a 30 min video and 2 sentences introducing it OK? What about (an EPIC) 30sec video & 5 words? etc. etc. ... I think we're making the same point though: Who draws the line, and what recourse is there when they get it wrong?
It's a community effort, join the discords and put in your two cents.
If you see something you don't like, bring attention to it.
We are a social platform, we should be social.
Walling ourselves off is what leads to these divisions.
Miscommunications are certain when we don't express ourselves to each other.
Yeah, That's exactly what I did... but HW isn't very good at communicating other than copy-pasting "These are our rules, this is how you bow down to us and apologise and then we'll consider looking into it"
Their curt "you've been found guilty of vote-buying" (which is false and what I was trying to dispute) was all the time they were willing to spend on me.
... and then the wheels fell off after being ignored for a few days on discord, I took to a (drunken) rant on-chain #FacePalm
I agree it should be... but right now it's not :-(

These is where most of the discussion of flags is held.
Not all flaggers join us here, but alot do.
I've been in H-DR since it began.
If nobody in the community steps up and offers input then the small crowd of folks willing to flag abuse just do what they do.
More input is welcome and needed.
You can just lurk until you need to speak out.
Dissent is appreciated, by most of us.
