I mean , don't waste your voting power.
It takes, a long time to recharge. I have been fixing many posts in Steemit that innocently got flagged. Best is vote in my page if you find it interesting. @bullionstackers
I need followers n I will follow back.

Hi punjammies, welcome to steemit - unfortunately some person has a grudge against steemit and is taking it out against new users! I've upvoted you with my stake which should get you up and running with a little bonus.

You can view who voted on your posts by hovering over 'votes' on your post. You will see '- r4fken' among all the + votes. If you follow to his profile, you'll see that he's flagging users at random for whatever reason. So you probably did not do anything particular to offend.

well if it is not visible as i see it, maybe you can. But repeat posting is frowned upon here as it is seen, rightly so as being spam !! But i think in this particular case it might be interesting to see what happens when you do !! Welcome to steemit by the way !! ; - )

I have upvoted your poem and now it is not greyed out. I have no idea why someone would flag. It was their mistake. It should be fixed now.

Same thing happened to me on my first post. I think somebody didn't believe I was a real person. Don't really know. Don't be deterred. Keep on steeming!

I had the same thing happen to me this morning. I spent all night working on a post complete will illustrations and markup...and it got flagged.

I'm angry and frusturated.

I had great hopes for steemit which I must now re evaluate.

I didn't think there was censorhip on this platform.

there are people more knowledgeable than i but, i think it has to do with the number of positive votes or the power of the voters or both. i am still learning. the power i think comes from the reputation of the voter or the steem power that the voter wields or both. if i am mistaken, maybe someone else here could sort us out. oh, and the reputation score is in the grey dot to the right of your screen name.
