I would like to give people a chance to get feedback. If you think about flagging it does not say much about the reason. It makes people react emotionally. With a downvote - a subjective vote, without any comment it is even worse. I do not want to make a pattern from downvoting, I want to make the existing feature valuable :)

He apologies, well , from that day I hate those that do downvotes.

To be fair, I downvoted/flagged @fyrstikken's post about the deal with Heidi yesterday and left a comment. We talked about this whole issue today, actually for several hours and we are more than good now I think. I would take my flag off if not the payout window :( Feedback is in my opinion a great way to start talking and improve as a community.

@bullionstackers have the same opinion here - @radoslaw - feedback is a better option - or if they really want to keep that flag at least give a person a warning and not be trigger happy or unreasonable in flagging.

I cannot respond to your response, could you clearly say what do you have in mind?
I do not expect any kind of promotion from you, but I would like to understand your motives.

@englishtchrivy The problem with a flag is that it is actually a mandatory feature to limit plagiarism, spam, etc. but without a feedback no one except the one who pushed the button can respond to the question 'why flagging was used'.

I would even say that despite the whole 'negativity' of flagging, it should be used at some point in other cases like e.g. false statement - if someone ignores you on chat, your comment is one of 100 and you know that the statement is false (not because you think so, but e.g. 2+2 is not 146) flagging with a reason 'false statement' and feedback what exactly is wrong and why may be a good thing. It requires however more changes - payout windows should be longer to give an author time to edit such an article and a voter to remove a flag.

As we observe increasing number of flags already, adding a checkbox with categories and a field to put justification seems to be a must.

@radoslaw if it's just to control plagiarism and spam I think cheetah is already doing a great job. Can't we just refer any post that we confirm as spam and plagiarism to cheetah? I saw @onyx did that, or is it just for @onyx? exclusively? then perhaps it should be directed to him. And if cheetah confirms the article's stolen then flag our hearts out .
I saw some pips here abusing the flag and use it just to commit revenge or just because they want to flag the other person just cause they don't like them. I wish there's a system that goes like this - if the post is just not tasty - why don't first have people say "flag" because ....reason ... then if there's at least 5 or ten people who agreed that it should be flagged but those ten should have at least specifically given the reason for doing so then - the flag takes its effect. Some people just flagged something just because they hate the author - or they think the post is a trash . The truth is there's so many post that makes you cringe because they are either empty, no substance , not adding value to people's lives and obscene but those don't get flagged. The flag got abused for hate mostly for revenge which I don't get (rolling eyes) some even said - I'm flagging this because he doesn't want to see the post, happened to read the post and it actually helped me understand Steemit stuff more and I wasn't the only one it helped cause I went scrolling down to the comment thread but one just flagged the post just because they don't like the author - I guess we could also control our feed right? We could just mute the person, too if we don't want to see them or unfollow - I just don't get why flag? It's just one of those pointless misuse of the flag. - Let's make Steemit a positive kind of social media, there's plenty of hate in the world already. World peace people!
