Flagged for basically flag buying.
Vote buying is considered abuse because when someone purely buys votes, the assumption is that he adds nothing else to the community. This is not the case with Steemsports, which a lot of people seem to enjoy.
In fact, you yourself are basically incentivizing malicious behavior, hence the flag.
If it is a flag used for subjective reasons and not abuse I will be starting up a flag guild. Would u want to join? Also is this post not saying that we should flag it? Im thinking it is.
:O
"incentivising malicious behaviour" suggests that 4 months ago you considered the downvote to be maliscious.
The irony.
My view on the downvote has changed over time, yes. I've even said as much "on the blockchain".
But what I meant was that, to an outsider, the mafia type blackmailing of "pay me to stop flagging you" would seem ridiculous.
I actually thought I was replying to something completely different, and got my stuff mixed up. :D
Anyway, I'm not sure why you feel the need to be snarky when I've actually just come to agree with you on something. That being the downvote.
