Why censor Steemit? This is a platform for people to speak there minds. A soapbox of sorts. People all over the world are going to write here and some unfortunately are going to say mean things. When this site is full of hate threads then the community will have a hateful population. Yes that is one example of an extreme and this is another. Steemit users are censored and cant speak there minds on issues because it might be considered hate speech.
Theres a fine line there.
So a simple solution to this could be a flagging system where if to many people are offended or if the thread or reply is threatening. Incoherent shitposting by individual users could be flagged also. The content on this site should depend on the community. Not an individual user who post or a single moderator who can delete a thread.
I like this site and it needs to be diverse in culture and opinions. If the community is witnessing abusive behavior by a individual the community should be able to flag it and a consensus of moderators and admin should take action by removing the bullies completely from steemit.
If someone is posting or replying threatening actions or is engaging in propaganda that could spread ideologies and influence steemit users in a negative way then they have no real value in this community. These people should have there account closed. Maybe a 3 strike warning system would be great. I am not a fan of political correctness and i do believe its fringing on free speech rights all over the world. So like i said there is a fine line and that line is easily crossed. To make sure this line is not crossed voting systems and warnings seem to me to be logical in fairness.
If anyone has a better idea please share it here.
