"Your rep didn't drop from your latest post, it was from the other flags (on comments I believe)."

Ok, then how could @block-power's 1 downvote cause my post to be hidden when I already had 3 upvotes?

"The sad fact is we have a lot of unstable immature people here and there is no way to do anything about it.

That fact would certainly confirm some of my earlier comments about Steemit being such a poorly designed system. No wonder it is next to impossible for the platform to grow, and retain members. Obviously the Steemit platform's designers were not too bright that they could not see that coming. Now the platform is infested with a few whales who act as if they own it, and at the same time make all the money, while the rest of us make virtually nothing. I think it's time to shut Steemit down, and start again, perhaps this time by people with a better ability to think outside the box.
