I have seen a lot of hub-bub lately on steemit about down voting and flagging. Some of the comments are getting a little personal.
I have not down voted a post or comment, nor had any down voted (at least not that I know of) but I do know on the esteem app, the flag could easily be hit by mistake.
Ad I agree with the explanation as to why a down vote was given. This could or would create less drama... perhaps
I found someone flagging my post and when i looked a bit further then he was also flagging his own post. He actually did not get the system and thought the flag was the upvote (his English was not very good but I guess he got confused, the up and down thing is easy to understand)
Oh now, that is real sad. The up/down tab would be a real good idea for that person; and others in the same situation
Yeah, I wanted to talk to @good-karma about the app UI making it to easy to flag by accident. And the lack of apparent resteem option.
I have ALMOST hit it myself. Luckily I stopped my finger mid-air. I would feel awful for such a simple mistake
