Very interesting that you should call this a place of business, some keep calling it a public social media platform without making any reference to business. Some of the oldest members of this community act like children and flag folks to bits and then act surprised when they get a dose of their own medicine. I have no issue with retaliatory flags such as this one, but I do have an issue with the tolerance allotted certain characters in this space simply because not enough people have the balls to say anything. As a result we now have more ex-Steemians than Steemians. I mention this because of the inference that you'd like to see mass adoption, which at this rate is not likely to happen barring a miracle or disaster. As a business, this place has also succeeded at being a failure, who wants to be here when their original work gets flagged to zero? Why would anyone spend time creating content just to get rewarded for staking their Steem? Why would anyone invest in Steem if self votes can't even beat inflation?
Who's trolling who? Nobody cares as long as they get theirs, and I think that is a large portion of the problem. Have a good one! Now watch the flags roll in :)
I'm not going to downvote you for having an opinion. Especially when it's a parroted opinion.
The trolls will downvote opinions though, for no reason. They treat people like trash.
I know those flags are annoying. So treat the trash like trash. Not everyone else.
Why would you, and them, even need to be told that? It's common sense to treat others how you'd want to be treated. I don't go around downvoting people any time they make me feel emotional. It takes a thick skin to be here. These trolls are made of glass. If something shitty happens to them, it's their own damn fault. I can prove it as well. Everything is locked in nicely on this blockchain. Everyone can see how the people who hate the flags most act.. ACT. It's all an act. Just pushing your agenda. It's all a farce.
I've been downvoted. A long time ago, when I first started. The biggest account the platform downvoted me twice, for writing comedy that played with the word FUCK. I didn't cry about it. I didn't act like a child. I wrote about it, peacefully, made some money, and carried on with my life, business as usual. It's not hard to NOT be a baby. Try telling that to a troll who is INTENTIONALLY trying to get themselves flagged so they go around saying flags are bad though. It's in one ear and out the other, because what they're doing is all an ACT. Just putting on a show. That show will NEVER get rid of downvotes. It only proves why the place needs them.

I act responsibly, or at least try to. Certainly not perfect.
I don't support the concept of auto-downvotes. I think it solves nothing. People need to talk things out, respectfully. But you do know most clubs have a bouncer at the door, and for a very good reason. Some people get kicked out, for life. It's usually because of something they did. Anti-social behavior, typically. That's truth. That's reality. Tough pill to swallow for some. But I get how people do learn and believe in second chances.
As for the fat wallet and connections. I started with nothing and knew nobody. I've done alright.
You take care as well.
