Those that perpetually flag, have been flagging something they didn't like before they ever got to steemit. Many people arrive here with the idea that not only can they make a fast buck, and or attack those that are doing the same or they feel they are the righteous, flagging the outward averous in others that they deny in themselves. They are part of this ecosystem like all of us.
They are addicted to the war of red flags and I applaud them, with a wtf look on my face, why? Does anybody realize how much energy goes into staying that miserable? For me, herein lies the lesson about the antagonist that roam these Steemie seas.
Among all the red fish minnows dolphins and whales there are sharks and bottom feeders and false killer Whales (that is an actual species) But as you say: upvote or flag? Its simple math. But for the predatory type, nothing is never that simple.
Good perspective Solution.
Couldn’t have wrote ut better than tou did!
Shouldn’t it has to be like: Read and upvote or ignore and move on!
While I do see the need for the flag functionality, it has become overly used.
I did use it today! But that was flagging a porn related bot, commenting on my not porn related post!
Wow...porn bots..weird, yes flagging a porn bot is less emotional, lol I guess some people will flag each other until maybe steemit decides to change the color to a soft more peaceable tone instead of the "warning stop light red...lol"then maybe folks will calm down...what do you think.. a pastel peach flag? next witness meeting...maybe they will look into this ;))
And as incentive after 4 flags a month, everyone that flags after 4 has to pay .02 sp to the reward pool for each flag thereafter~*
Lets take them the least understandable color for men: appleblueseagreen.
Still trying to understand that color, its even harder then trying to understand Steemit!
I too do not want to fall prey to being a massively negative person and waste my time reporting others and flagging them just to be mean. Even if someone disagrees with my point of view, I still won't flag them because I want to think that most people have good intentions.
Right on....steem on
