RE: ~*~ The Big Deal That’s Not a Big Deal: The Issue of Abusive Downvoting and Community Etiquette ~*~

Yes, there is a culture of false flagging content you disagree with here on "steemit", and I think that is occurring because people want to vote negatively on the post but the only option is to flag it, which they equate to down voting. It isn't down voting it is censorship as you correctly stated. That is why I proposed adding a don vote button, but one where the down-vote does not censor content. I am not saying remove the flag option, but the flag option should be to flag spam, or plagiarized content; not to down vote an article. https://steemit.com/steemit/@titusfrost/false-flagging-need-a-down-vote-button-stop-censorship

    That could be one solution. We suggest disagreement be expressed through conversation, ideally with suggestions for improvements provided. Or the user who doesn't like the content doesn't have to read it at all!

    Really, we want users to consider their own VALUES. Is emotional reaction and challenge to one's belief system really justification for injuring another party? We don't think so.

    Thanks for your input, @titusfrost!
