RE: Is There A Whale War Going on In Steemit?
I'd be willing to act as a dispute mediator if others were willing to have me serve in that capacity.

Better to fix the structural issue that is CAUSING the problem than to add yet another layer of complexity to deal with the results.

The structural issue is the lack of a mediation system.
I beg to differ: I think the problem is the implementation of the flagging system itself. In my opinion solutions should avoid adding additional layers of complexity if at all possible.
There is a need for flagging though. It does filter out spam and plagiarism quite effectively. I think it remains a useful tool.
I agree. I just needs to be re-worked to limit its effect to the issues you've stated above.
good. Now I guess we would need to agree as a community that we need it. What would be a good way for it to work since we don't have private messaging in here? can a 3-way chat in skype work for this?
What about a channel in Discord for public outcries and DM on Discord from mediator to mediatees?
well, can it do voice? i think texting is a problem for real solutions.
It can absolutely do voice. Discord made for gamer chat so voice works well over there.
then that sounds like a good idea. the big question remains: do the two people who are warring want a resolution? If they don't, then nothing will change.
sounds like a plan to me.
Yes, you can do voice on Discord
a new post for every dispute. I think that would put our transparency and trust in the blockchain in full view of other social media users
some issues are too personal in nature. there needs to be a private way to mediate.
once the first party starts using flags to resolve a personal issue, that becomes a public issue.
especially for a whale...if they're going to throw that weight around, they need to be accountable for it.
a very long time ago, when I was a corporal, and I had two guys lock horns, I would make them go fight...most of the time that got them to shake hands and work it out. but sometimes they would go ahead and punch each other a little.. When that happened I couldn't chase the lookyloos away fast enough.
if these folks dont want to air their dirty laundry, they need to avoid slapping each other in the face with it on the platform in the first place
good points. how would someone orchestrate a virtual fight? It's like we need a separate place for aggression.....ha ha but that might open up a pandora's box.
I'd be the first in the ring....
We should settle disputes like gentlemen - in a Blacklight: Retribution deathmatch!
How public should such mediation be? Perhaps an outside forum is in order, like through invisionfree. There are some things Steemit just isn't suitable for yet. In a forum environment, we could even establish juries of verified Steemians acceptable to both parties instead of a single arbitrator.
edit Discord, as suggested by others, is certainly a good option too.
I have the domain SteemitForum.com . Let me know if you want to put it to use.
I know nothing about designing a forum. I have been a long-time admin on an InvisionFree forum for a NationStates.net region, and that is the extent of my experience. Perhaps your URL could forward to such a site?
Yes, it could. I'm just here to help for sure!
yeah, that's a good idea. the mediation should be totally private between the parties and the mediator.
In that case, I know forums can be set up with private threads and subforums limited to specific groups or members. I don't know enough about Discord to offer any useful info there.
