Thoughts!
I have seen a few people talk about getting flagged in retaliation to a LEGITIMATE FLAGGING EVENT! (L.F.E.) Now when I first started doing steemit, I did see the potential for this action of flagging get way out of hand! The fact that human nature is always involved with everything we do, Because we are all humans here... I think anyways, if not let me know and I would like to talk to you about where you are from. OK, were was I, oh ya Flagging a person cause their actions will effect the quality of Steemit itself, this is what the creators i'm sure intended the flagging system to be used for. If a person using Steemit is a troll, or spamian we as a community have the power to say NO! Stop doing that!
Theories!
This of course pretty much only works in theory, it has been my experience that humans will misuse anything you give them access to. As more and more people join Steemit, you will end up getting some that were not taught to act right. They have many misconception on social interaction, and life in general. They are ignorant to certain things, usually cause they have been taught wrong or some traumatic event set their mind to believe that their way is right. The sheer number of different personalities that are on Steemit at the moment is going to create some level of conflict, there is no way around it (HUMAN NATURE!) Just wait till we have as many users as Facebook, there are going to be little online war zones! I believe the witnesses will have their work cut out for them at that point, and the ones that are here now are going to have to keep a level head and help if we want the quality of Steemit to remain. We all decide the fate of Steemit if you really stop and think of it, we see what this place has to offer and it is GOOD!
Only Together!
We are all interconnected and must realize this here and now! Those of us that want to make Steemit the best Social Media site that ever existed, must come TOGETHER and protect what we love about Steemit. If we fail to act it will become the negative, low quality garbage that is Facebook, just my opinion about FB! I know that FB has some good qualities, but I believe they are dwarfed by the bad. That is because no one has a real voice there, they can't make actual changes that effect the group. On Steemit that is not the case, WE HAVE THE POWER! to change and adapt to every aspect that comes our way! I have come to LOVE this place very much and want to do what ever I can to protect what it stands for, of course that is what it stands for in my mind, but not everyone's mind. I have found allot of like minded individuals here all ready and I am only going on a month. So I know those that read this probably believe as I do. If we work together we can find a way to solve the flag problem, I don't know what that is at the moment but I believe in all of you to help find a solution! Well that's all I got to say about that, hope we can figure this out and have a wonderful day!
