My contribution to Steemit: Add "aggrandizement" as a valid reason for flagging

in aggrandizement •  7 years ago  (edited)

Aggrandizement is one of the valid reasons for flagging at Steem blockchain. However, when you try to flag a post, you see these reasons:

We have missing aggrandizement here for a while. In order to fix this issue, I have added this to my condenser fork as a gift to open source community.

How about adding sycophantry as well? Also won't be reviewed and considered, but hey.

Upvote just because it's a new word and sounds smart.

That's actually a pretty good idea, however, I don't think sycophantry is mainstream enough like aggrandizement. This reasons list should be a top list for potential downvote reasons. When was the last time you casted a downvote for sycophantry?

Quite some time ago, before I muted Mindhunter.

Yes, that's a good one! Then we wouldn't need to think so hard about whether a comment was spam before flagging.

It seems that somebody who is sycophantic actually displays sycophancy though, unlike somebody who is pedantic, who displays pedantry (like me). Maybe that should count as a reason to flag too ;)

I learned this word today and just heard it for the first time when I watched some random stuff on youtube :O

You mean, are you saying ... that word is on YouTube??

I just had never heard it before ... and then I encounter it twice within a day.

So who will decide if it's aggrandizement or not ? It so difficult to define and its often about perspective. Sycophants, arse lickers begging for votes are everywhere, much easier to spot.
Id personally flag this post if aggrandizement was on the list as I hate people telling me how I should think...

Same people who decide the rest of the conditions - just the flagger

I don't think this will be approved, because aggrandizement flagging is exclusive to ned ;)

lol this is awesome comedy topic aggrandizement @emrebeyler!

You need to submit this into #comedyopenmic & win some SBD
