Down voting is part of the system actually and an important aspect of it. You may not like it or disagree but it is what it is. Also, flagging is not censorship. If you accept the upvotes then you must accept the flags as well. Rewards are not due to anyone until the 7 day window has passed as you are well aware.

To claim that flagging is not censorship is a significant claim. Care to explain how flagging for spam or if rewards are unfair does not fit into the definition of censorship?
By flagging somebody are you not expressing your own moral code and punishing them for not meeting that code or punishing the curators for not fitting in with that code?
Your position, while it attempts to support the flagging, does not convince me.
May I also remind you that just because it is part of the system does not make it morally or ethically correct. Violence and coercion has been a part of systems for thousands of years, made legal in fact. But it does not make it ethically correct.
When I stand on the principle of 'love thy neighbour as thy self', I must conclude that flagging is not love at all. It is theft and violent. I refuse to participate with that.
If you found a way to justify it and engage in flagging, then that is your journey and path. I refuse to follow you down that path.

I love the words you use: Punishment, violence, coercion, morals, theft, moral code.
LMAO: You seem to be slightly extreme for a social media platform. No I’m not going to get into a debate surrounding flags but I can say they aren’t going anywhere as they are vital in expressing opinion. If you don’t agree, then maybe this isn’t the place for you. Plenty of platforms where you don’t earn anything so the upvotes/downvotes there wouldn’t be theft.

Your response is to minimize what I am saying, mock me by laughing at me and pointing me to the door.
Do you see the covert violence you just engaged in? You call me extreme? I have zero tolerance for that kind of behaviour. This conversation is done and you are now muted.

You would be correct. Anyone that takes a social media platform to the extreme of having to compare flag use as “violent” deserves to be mocked. The dramatic use of words is quite hilarious.
