Viewing a response to: @anarcho-andrei/regarding-transisto-and-flagging
I feel bad for using the same comment twice, but I feel I should spread my knowledge about the matter. I have been following her since her comeback to Steemit when she was earning 3 bucks per post, therefore I feel like I have been following the whole story... Let me tell you my point of view. Everyone is here to gain money. She knew that she has a really wealthy trail on her that was bringing most of her posts to bigger value than 100 bucks. When she came back she was writing rather sporadically and I have been following her ever since. When she realized that she has that wealthy trail on her she started posting more than 3 times per day in order to get more than one 100 bucks up vote. If she kept it to 1 per day it would be totally fine (by me), someone thought she deserves it. But she tried to game the reward pool by those actions. A whale spotted such a behaviour and flagged it. It is by no means war against fiction, nor writing, nor anything else but the try to rape the reward pool. When I have spotted the behaviour I unfollowed her, because it was in contradiction with what I want to support on the Blockchain. My stake is nowhere close for fight against 100 bucks upvotes, so not giving her the views was all I could have done. It doesn’t baffle me that she has met those flags...Flag is not bullying. Flag is as important tool as upvote is...

That wasn't the reasoning that the flagger provided. Moreover, it's not raping the reward pool to post multiple times if a particular user is upvoting you. This phraseology needs to either be refined or dropped altogether. There's no evidence of spam botting or collusion here that I've seen or anyone's provided evidence for. Trying to maximize a stroke of good fortune is not rape in any appreciable sense. Her post was flagged because: (1) the flagger decided that she wasn't popular enough to warrant the payout, and (2) because "novels aren't a good fit" for Steemit. This is from the flagger directly. To both of those counts, I can only balk at the sheer arrogance of the person doing the flagging. Moreover, if you were in that position and witnessed this, are you suggesting you'd aim to remove her rewards completely? Despite the fact her content is not only original but generally higher quality than a large portion of content posted to the platform?

As I said it is only my point of view. The reasoning behind his actions is not strong, it’s rather invalid I agree. People here, from my experience, have a problem to admit that the biggest motivation for everyone on Steemit is money. When you spot that someone is getting ridiculous rewards (subjective matter) for the value the user is bringing you try to find better reasoning than "bigger value than what is deserved". I think that when you hit that wealthy trail, you should try to further increase the quality of the posting, instead of its frequency. I personally deem that as a rewardpoolrape and if I was the trail I would immediately remove the auto-upvote. What evidence do you want? I didn’t understand that one sorry. And as to your questions. No If I had the power I would tell her my problem (I always do when it’s not spammer with the same comment all over the platform...that I flag directly). I would be interested in hearing out what she thinks prior to taking action. I wouldn’t definitely remove 100% (if the post had 100 bucks value) rather 50% if we didn’t reach a consensus. Also If I was the trail I would just remove the vote. I am an advocate for quality rather than quantity and I have spotted the spamming syndrome in there. That most of the content is of lesser quality is irrelevant, I would just find different content of high quality (from my point of view)...Hope I made myself clearer than in the comment before:)

I have a problem with your reasoning. Right now my vote is only worth $0.010. Most people could care less about my vote at this stage. I voted on most of those post that were flagged. Any reward I would have gotten is pretty much toast. If I vote I comment. Some of those comments Michelle found good enough to vote on, so that means I will get a reward. Now you are telling me that when my vote eventually rises to $100.00 *(if that's possible)*, and I really liked a post that it would be a waste of my time to vote what I think it is worth because you are going to come along and adjust it to what **YOU** think it is worth? Please tell me why I or anyone else should vote on anything if it is only **You** and **transisto** that are capable of deciding what a payout/persons vote should be worth?
