RE: Screw Malicious Flagging: 1 Flag Vs 130+ Votes
Yes it is a good idea not to interfere too much with the big investors since they own lots of voting shares, it might cause you to have to create a new account to continue making money or square things up with the person who owns a lot more of the network than you do. He has a right to vote for dividends not to reach you, he owns voting shares after all. You can also have voting shares all you need to do is keep posting or invest.
Just remember that if an investor votes for rewards not to pay out for you that voting shares get used to do that, voting shares need to be used for what you believe should be rewarded and not rewarded on steem, its voting, you are indicating that some people have more power than you to vote, yes they do, you can gain more power to vote too.
I know that. Did you actually check my Steem power? ... I am not really a beginner here anymore ... :-) (And that's not the only account I am using ...) I am not complaining because of my own rewards.
In theory everybody can invest himself to have more influence here ... in theory ... in reality, not.
I think small accounts should be protected against an arbitrary use of flags. I guess we have to agree to disagree here ...
I'm not really disagreeing with you, I'm just saying interesting things, I don't hold very strong beliefs in either direction actually, well met and followed jaki01 coincidentally I did check out your account and was in fact hoping that you would state your thoughts so it gets detailed nicely for those reading :)
I'm sure there will be wales who wouldn't be against making services that can level the playing field, in a way many are already experimenting with ways to fairly boost promising users, perhaps even correct arbitrary flags etc, since its good for the network, I think we both feel a yearning for more of that on steem.
another very good suggestion made on this very thread was if flags had a cost, that would really help a lot in my opinion
