Steemit will be in a precarious situation if we will not unite as one great family and resolve the flagging war like-wild fire going on between some of our great members. This issue has caused a lot of arguments between the supporters of the people involved when they should invest their time in promoting solid projects on steem blockchain, making more steem and promoting this unique platform to the world. One big example of the issue is between @berniesanders and @dan . @dan is the founding member of Steem , Bitshares and EOS and a great investor in steem power. He has, however, been flagging @berniesanders posts with some genuine reasons (which I really do not know the details), however our steemit community will be better off if these two gentlemen will talk this over and channel their energy to a more positive thing in growing our community. Some points to note:
- It might go out of Control: let me quote from a play written by a Nigerian author Ola Rotimi :
OVONRAMWEN NOGBAISI: Africa’s Exploitation, and the Great Fall of the Benin Kingdom : ‘’a provoked houseboy cannot match his wicked master strength with strength, he maims the master’s favorite goat!’’ Literary both speakers had one reasons or the other to cut pounds of flesh in justice and revenge. see link . @berniesanders cannot match @dan strength with strength so his strategy is to use his voting armies in attacking anything relating to @dan including any posts that added EOS tag - which affected @max-infeld , @nanzo-scoop , @eosio , @libertyteeth , @surfyogi , @tokenika and @officialfuzzy whaleshare project posts (plus many others). - Wasting Voting Power: I will remise if I say that I would not enjoy up votes from these gentlemen -which will go a long way in making someone succeed here on steemit. In fact, many struggling minnows will be happy to get an upvote from them- however it is being wasted in flagging wars.
- Spam and Scam war: We have issue of spam here especially with regard to scam up voting that robs our reward system. Therefore these flagging can be turned to community use in support of the fight against spam and scam here by some steemians : @ats-david , @transisto , the new born @sadkitten , @klye, @sherlockholmes (report spam and scam to him via steem chat) , @personz , @cheetah and , @stellabelle, @papa-pepper , @steemcleaners and @ausbitbank (and many othere) who are using their steem and voting power wisely to flag scammers and spammers . Moreover another good job is from @spaminator - which has found in the past (1 week period) 10,102 spam comments see link here . I wonder what will happen if steemit opens the flood gate for millions of people-we all should therefore, focus on community unity against such spams and scams .
- Community Unity: in my former post: Why Steemit will be Facebook and Reddit Killer see link -taking the fight to Facebook et all will not be an easy one because Facebook has billions of Dollars to spend and take up fight against our dear steemit even through M&A strategy. Therefore, we all have to stop stabbing one another due to ideological or philosophical differences ( that is Facebook specialty ) rather I hope that with @ned leadership we all will grow a strong community and a family like relationship ( One for all-All for One) in order to make steemit a force to reckon with –which is a win win for all.
Conclusion: Steemit is a great platform and will even be more successful in the future however we all have to use the features it provide in a wise way- especially our steem and voting power. Let us unite against spam and scam and deviate from flagging one another because we disagree with them. Importantly, Steemit will indeed be in a precarious situation if we will not unite as one great family and resolve the flagging war like-wild fire going on between some of our great members.
