RE: A MESSAGE TO @newflash, A SOCK-PUPPET ACCOUNT OF @transisto: Stop Downvoting My Posts And Acting Like A Sociopathic/Socialist Whale!!
The whole whale flagging issue in one of the biggest sores on the side of Steemit alongside minnow spamming.
DV flagging is currently the best worst solution we have to control spam etc., but it's in bad need of an overhaul with a consensus model before Alpha like you say. I've always thought this was the only flaw in @dan's otherwise flawless creation.
The search for the silver bullet continues on ... as unfortunately do these 'stake police'!
What if everyone down-voted everything that made more than $40, would this be good for the platform? Would it mean more rewards for those of us that barely get a dollar for a post?
I agree that flagging / down voting is contentious and is likely to remain so. You can't escape the human psychology of it, though I do think a UI change could go along way (not much support for that at STINC at the moment though).
If there were a better way I would support it am I open to ideas.
