people need to stop using the flag for subjective reasons and use the mute button like a big kid does. asshole is only proof of the problem that everyone has been very outspoken about from early on and the only people defeding the side of flagging are the ones doing it. it is pathetic at best and will be the death of steemit.
imo atleast
It's a downvote. Busy.org doesn't display a flag and doesn't hide comments. Steemd doesn't use a flag either and neither does SteemDB.
You won't be able to stop people from using it for subjective reasons and I don't think it would even be in your interest to try to "legislate" or vote brigade people into doing this.
Even Steemit.com has guidelines that clearly say you can downvote due to "disagreement on rewards". In practice, it's far from limiting. How are we supposed to know what exactly such a disagreement is really about?
But Steemit doesn't have to hide content or display flags. It's entirely up to the owners of the site. So in reality all that needs to be done to fix this for now, except changes to the site itself, is to change downvoting of content so that it doesn't also affect rep. If we really want to utilize a rep system, make the flag a separate function. Have "content downvoting" and "rep downvoting" be different things.
LMFAO!
Im not new here, this isn't my first month on steemit.
Go preach your bullshit to the people that don't understand how steemit works.
LMFAO!!!!
Go produce good content, thanks for the good laugh. I needed that
LOL! Oh wait! Now look who's being an Asshole! That's you! Good luck with the rest of your shitty impatient time on Steemit! Maybe, the know it all yourself would know better than to whine around here! Cuz really no one gives a damn!

@skeptic Lol! All I can say at this point is to calm yourself down and focus on what's important..
well if focusing on the reason steem always goes down in value and why it is going to die not important on steemit idk what is then.
You cant do much about things you have no control over. Focus on producing good content and earning rewards etc.
LMFAO!
