Why is the Steem Price Low? How Do We Fix It?

Were you asking to have the flags dropped because you boosted this form of plagiarism to the trending page, got caught, and lost the rewards because plagiarism isn't tolerated here, and you knew that, but did it anyway? Do you realize we need flags because of people like you? I do.

Yet he responds every day for being on my blacklist “stop terrorism”. He stopped after a few flags. They seem to work well.

The ones who truly hate the flags the most are typically those who've been caught red-handed doing something stupid. Rather than accepting the fact they did wrong, they try to make those who took action against the wrongdoings appear to be the bad guys. That's life though. Think about how many speeders get busted then go tell their friends how much of an idiot the cop was. LOL!

It reminds me of Judge Dredd, that film about the future. Also the other movie, Minority Report. When a person gets flagged on Steemit for example, that person may have done a bad thing, but it depends on whether the rules are derived subjectively or objectively, and it may depend on who the judges are, the lawmakers, and everything. YouTube has terminated my channels, thousands of videos, because of my Fair Use videos. Was it stupid of me to post my childhood videos? I made a parody film of the Power Rangers when I was ten years old in Oregon with my family and friends. Was I wrong for that? The people that make up the rules, the laws, may not always be right. Not only was Tommy Robinson flagged, he was imprisoned: #FreeTommy

@themarkymark and ilk abuse flags to punish people for expressing their opinions. he did it to me once. he admitted to never having read my post, yet he flagged it anyway because i flagged his spammy comment on another thread.

People against flag abuse are against censorship. Period. Those who are for it, are pro-censorship. You can cloak it as a war on badcontent or a campaign to raise quality of content all day long, it's still the same thing - censorship.

Still crying?

Here something for you to cry about for the next 6 months.

no one is crying here. I am expressing my opinion about a matter of principle, something you sir will never understand

that the facts are there for all to see if they go and search. - u flagged an unrelated post because i flagged your spam comment. i regarded it as spam. you did not regard my content as spam, had no disagreement with my rewards, nothing - you just used the flag to punish me. as you did now. way to prove me right.

you an immature and silly individual if you think that intelligent people respond to silly meme's the way you expect them to.

are seriously this immature? Or is it just plain arrogance? Are you incapable of holding an intelligent conversation? when someone states the facts about what you did, you are aggressive, flag their comment and then seek to minimise their point of view by suggesting it is an emotional and immature outburst. Wow. I am rolling on the floor laughing here.

See you in a few days when you start complaining about a 5 cent flag again.

Your assumptions are so inaccurate that I am leaning towards the belief it is not merely your misunderstanding of what is happening here, but that your tack is wholly disingenuous and a deliberate attempt to sidetrack the issue. Such an approach belies a level of arrogance and outright foolishness (I say it respectfully).

You assume that all those that matter will always share your assumptions and none of those who matter will see through your pathetic approach to bully, berate, demean others while you act in aggressive ways towards others who disagree with you. Well, you will soon understand how wrong you are about everything.

To be absolutely clear once more - the only one frantic and emotional here, is you.

if you flagged me for 1,000 SBD or 0.01 SBD the reason I would complain would remain the same - it would be a protest I make about the wrongfulness of the flag, not the value in SBD but the low value in humanity of the action. That it is a pathetic show of inhumanity, aggression.. a shameful thing. It would remain an expression of an opinion one which you may disagree with all you like, but one which you have no right to punish by aggression, by violence. You may rob me of as much as you choose, but I will still have more of something you will struggle to attain.

I am not emotional, crying, complaining - I am stating a set of facts about a series of events. It is because I am doing that that you retaliate with aggression. by flagging me. The flag can never remove the thing that you fear the most, it can never give you what you yearn for the most. Think about that when you flag me again.

Hey, do you think Minnesota United FC or FC Dallas will win?

I'm thinking Dallas, they always say everything is bigger in Texas and that has to give them an advantage right?

Honestly, I'm not much into soccer. I do like watching my son play but that's about it. Luckily it is in Minnesota so I think that will give them an advantage. Texas is freaking hot, and I couldn't imagine playing soccer in that weather.

It appears as if this comment has been flagged. If you're right about what you said here, that means I can't read this comment because it has been censored.

I agree, some instances of flag usage have been what some could see as abusive in nature. That doesn't mean ALL instances of flag usage are abusive in nature.

How am I able to agree with you though? In so many words, you said your comment has been censored. According to you, I should not be able to read these words of yours. If I told you I can see them clearly, would you disagree?

The ONLY people who hate flags are those who are upset for being found out or prevented from doing something 'wrong'... no, not true.

Censorship doesn't have to absolutely remove (and in fact seldom succeeds in removing all expressions of the 'obscenity'). It only needs to sew doubt, fear. It works by aggressive means and succeeds in altering a social environment by rule of fear of force in our case, being flagged). When it stunts the expression of a viepoint, it has succeeded by whatever degree.

The best result the aggressor can hope for is a situation where most people self-censor for fear of retaliation. @jerrybanfield has successfully shown a middle finger to all that and I can smell the fear from over hear in response to his middle finger.

If you're quoting me, please use my exact words instead of spinning. I didn't say those words in your quote.

If you think this place is fearful, open your eyes. Look around. Where's the fear? Look at all of these comments here, and everywhere else. Some agree, some don't agree. Some of the anti-social behavior was flagged, but the glaring majority of the words shared here were said freely without fear of consequence, and that's quite normal for this place.

Prameshtyagi is a prime example of a member who got caught stealing. He still acts as if that incident never occurred, yet this is an immutable blockchain, so even now, after his plagiarism was flagged away, the evidence remains, uncensored, which is a good thing, because if it truly was censored, people would lie about this place and how those things are handled and act like they didn't do anything wrong all while whiners cry about actual censorship instead of the nonexistent censorship those complaining about censorship here today are upset about.

And I still upvote yr good posts. That is how I want people to behave. Ignore stuff that is not good by your standard but upvote if u like it.

It is not about standards. I am damn sure that I'm not good at writing. Even my knowledge in English is not upto the mark. Yet, I try to creat contents which are my own. The post you had raised to trending page was pure plagiarizm and you got caught.

I know very well the strain one has to undergo to create own content. For example, this post of mine which I wrote a couple of months back, though look trivial, took me more than 15 hours to complete!

When people put that much of efforts to create something, you the people simply copy/paste and earn a lot of money out of it that the poor original author failed to do!

Whoever or whatever you may be, even if you adorn the position of president of India, you don't deserve anything other than downvotes if you steal others hard work. I am with @buildawhale in this!

Thank u for yr gr8 words

I have zero tolerance for plagiarism.

Yes but wonder if it is a false claim like my blog which was taken down by the Sandy Hook government cover-up. Then what?
