RE: Can we have downvotes and at the same time prevent 'flag wars'?
"To be honest, I consider my suggestion of elected committees as way superior compared to the implementation of identity checks on STEEM. :)"
OK there will be posts that are clearly objectionable and deserve the down vote. There will also be posts that are not objectionable and then the committee can remove the downvotes. As always in real life there will also be posts where it is a matter of judgment whether they already "qualify" for a down vote or not. In such a case, what if this committee may not agree and what options will I as a user have to defend myself against a decision by this committee? Is the committee almighty as the King of England used to be or will there be a legal process?
Don't plagiarise, don't spam with ten minimal posts per day, don't put child pornography online ... :)
If you read my article you know that I am against to flag dog posts just because I like cats. :)
I suggest the committee to be elected and reconfirmed regularly by the community. It would have quite an amount of STEEM power, but of course if many users upvoted a post they still could outvote the committee.
Anyway, I don't think it to be useful to discuss too many details as long as nobody is in favour of my idea ...
"Don't plagiarise, don't spam with ten minimal posts per day, don't put child pornography online ... :)"
Not completely agree.
To post something in the own blog is for me not spaming cause everybody is free to read my blog or let it be. Spaming is for me to put spam-contest in blog of other users.
Second I think that not only child pornography should not be put at steemit - I think that also "normal" pornography should have no place at this plattform.
You love to complicate things, right? Now you start a discussion about what spam is, even if I actually didn't define it. :)
Why not? If it disturbs you, in your profile you can activate the setting not to show NSFW content (but I notice pornographic content very rarely here, so it's not in the focus of the discussion anyway).
" You love to complicate things, right? Now you start a discussion about what spam is, even if I actually didn't define it. :)"
So the comitee should decide about something what isn't defined ?
In case enough people would like the idea of implementing committees there still would be plenty of time to discusss many minor things.
OK let's hope that your idea will gain more interest.
Thank you for this long discussion - they was very interesting for me.
