IF I USE IT AT THE BEGINNING, IT'S BASICALLY AS IF I DIDN'T POST ANYTHING. I'M SURE YOU'D LIKE THAT, BUT I DON'T LIVE TO PLEASE YOU. I STILL USED THE TAG &&&& PUT 'NSFW' IN TITLE &&&&& USED A NON-NUDE PHOTO AS FIRST PHOTO.
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE 'NSFW' CONTENT, THEN HOW ABOUT......
DONT CLICK ON IT IF YOU SEE IT IN THE TITLE!!!!!!
IT'S UP TO PARENTS TO MONITOR THEIR CHILDREN'S INTERNET USAGE THE BEST THEY CAN. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO CENSOR MYSELF ON A SUPPOSEDLY UNCENSORED SITE, ESPECIALLY SINCE I'M DOING EVERYTHING POLITE & RESPECTFUL I CAN THINK OF TO LABEL IT PROPERLY AND BEING MINDFUL OF THUMBNAIL IMAGE, TO PREVENT OFFENDING PEOPLE THAT DON'T WANT TO SEE THE CONTENT.
Just scroll on! Nudity is NO reason to flag something, especially since I put 'nsfw' in title, used 'nsfw' tag, and non-nude thumbnail.
you're actually breaking the rules by not using the "nsfw" tag first. We have gone over this for a very long time within Steemit, and by refusing to follow the rules as set forth in the beginning will cause you to continue to get flagged. It's actually more than that though, it's disrespectful. maybe there will be a place where porn can flourish, but the trending pages, which is facing to the world, is not the place for it. Your disrespect of young people, as young as 13 is particularly troubling.
Market signals are working correctly.
should be posted in other tags (with the maximum possible care to avoid people seeing content they don't want to see) until that bug gets fixed. That's the only way fixing the bug becomes a priority, which it absolutely should be (and I think it's fixed now anyways, no? It's hard to tell without scraping the chain, which is the nature of censorship)When steemit.com updated with a bug that applied draconian censorship of posts in the nsfw tag, posters circumvented that bug. This is reasonable behavior. @alexanova did her utmost to post responsibly, and she has no control over the code or behavior of steemit.com to fix the bug. I say she acted responsibly considering the situation she was presented with. Flagging the post because it violated a rule is dogmatic given the existence of this bug, and I would say posts like this
That notwithstanding, the deal of Steem is that anyone can downvote for any reason with or without justification. Thus @stellabelle is fully in the right for flagging the post; that is her prerogative.
On the one hand, we have a market signal which punishes Steemit.com for censorship by overflowing the now-broken channels that were created for adult content. On the other hand, we have many users flagging this content because it's not going in the nonexistent appropriate channels for it. This is, from an economics perspective, basically optimal: No one is happy with the current situation, which means that it will be resolved in minimum time. :)
I would encourage everyone to be courteous and empathetic as Steem goes through these growing pains, though: that'll make it easier for everyone.
Perhaps the steemit.com developers ought to make a second tag behave like nsfw (perhaps porn or nsfw2) and whenever they make an update which changes the behavior of #nsfw, they leave the old behavior on #porn so that posters can use the old tag if the new behavior is, or is perceived as, buggy; and all this without disturbing the wider community.
