Open letter to @coininstant~ READ what you Flag!

in flagging •  6 years ago 



Dear @coininstant,

Today you went too far in your flagging of posts. There is a little boy that has had Three Open Heart Surgeries and survived. This little boy then draws a piece of art to enter into a contest to raise money for the Hospital so they can help MORE small children.

You have the right to flag posts and comments. You have the right to use your Steem stake any way you want.


All I ask is that you take the much NEEDED time to READ the whole post before you flag.



The post Vote For Our Little Steemian With A Warrior Heart! encompasses all the GOOD that Steem can do and IS.

Your flagging of this post and comments encompasses all that is WRONG with flagging.

All I can ask is that you read the post then read the post a second time. Take the time to really think if you need to flag that post.

This is not a game to this little young man. This IS his life. Think about it. Would you want to show your child a post about them with flags on it?

Thank you for your time,

Sincerely,
@Snook

He is unstable and toxic. He is also extremely ignorant on how Steem works.

This! Exactly! <3

I so agree, @snook.

Flagging should not be a knee jerk reaction . . . it should only be used in cases of actual misconduct and/or abuse.

This post was neither.

Dear @coininstant,

@davvedickeyyall is not a moron. That post IS REAL. I have talked to them and the little boy that survived THREE heart surgeries.

It's why I asked you to please read the post. There is always room for exceptions. It is what makes us human. To be able to tell what is right from wrong.

That post was not asking for money. That post wasn't being given money. That post was made so a little boy that survived 3 heart surgeries and lived, could feel proud of the artwork that he drew, win first prize.

That young man doesn't make any money either for winning first prize. He gets the HONOR of his artwork being put up for auction. The money made from that action goes to the Hospital to help save more children.

There is nothing evil about that post. No one but a little boy and a Children's hospital wins. Again the little boy wins nothing monetarily. He already won his life. How can this be a bad thing?

How can you NOT support that?

Please rethink your flag on that post.

Thank you,
@Snook

That is one of the disadvantages of flagging.
If you don't like what you see, move on, there is more out there than you can read, you might like the next item.

This why I am not a fan of flagging. I agree this flag was unfair. I really feel flagging is a form of censorship and I believe everyone gets their opinion, and doesn't get their voice silenced even if we don't agree.

Yeah, lets add FREE FLAGS FOR ONE AND ALL!

oooohhhhh, OOOPS, that is an old idea, allegedly some people want it in HF21!!!!

Imagine how wonderful all this shall be when flags are FREEEEEE!!!!!
