Would it not be the same to just not upvote crap content? This battle has been raging ever since I started two years ago and every move of course can be exploted in some way as will this one. Instead of working on these dumb hardforks all of their effort should have been and should be smt that where promised to the community last year. My hope in steemit as we move into half a year in 2019 is fading quickly.

How about a sliver of empathy for her being harassed, the real crux of the post? People are the value and where the hope is, not Steemit, imo.
Good points - I'm not saying flagging is a perfect system ... because it is far from it. I just wanted to point out a situation where it could have been a beneficial tool. I DO think that flagging is very different than just the absence of an upvote. One is ignoring and one is a small slap on the wrist - which psychologically feels different to the person doing the harassing.
Is it worth it for all the headaches and harm it's caused on this platform? Not sure... but I do see there has been some value brought about by it.
I guess we will soon see what happens. I guess my biggest issue is that everything else seems to be being worked on besides the real core beneficial stuff and we are now half way through 2019. I guess i'm just a little sour still lol
Oh I totally get that. Steemit is doing things... but there's just so much ground to recover that it doesn't seem fast enough. Or maybe to your point - not focusing on the right things first.
