<p>I know the whole idea behind Steemit is to be a source of unique and valuable posts, standing out from other social networks, and in order to achieve that, the platform rewards you to submit good stuff. It's a good idea and I'm not against that.</p> <p>The problem comes when some users here become some kind of "blog-police", even act like judges who dictate which post is "valuable" or not, if they don't like your post you get down voted, and if you don't like it <em>get your ass back to Facebook.</em></p> <p>Now. When I go to my profile it says clearly (in my case) <strong>toxichan's blog</strong>, it's my blog. Being MY BLOG I can post whatever I want there (am I missing something here?) But let's say it in this way: being YOUR BLOG you can post whatever you want. Yeah I know there are some guys who post pure shit, but I want you to get the whole thing: It's your blog, it's my blog, <strong>we post whatever we want in our blog</strong>.</p> <p>If I want to post memes, pics or other entertaining/mainstream stuff, I'll just do it. I personally don't care if my posts get enough exposure or money, although it was the main reason why I joined Steemit, I eventually realize it's kind of a lottery to make some good money here. So I just decided to let things take their natural course. If I get money in my way on Steemit, good... if not, it's perfectly fine for me, because I see Steemit like an alternative to other social networks, not as an investment platform waiting for a ROI or something.</p> <p>In those cases of evident identity theft or spam, I agree every post from those accounts must be widely down voted, but guys, you can't just down vote a post because you simply don't like it or you think it's not good. It's like you want people to please your tastes and post stuff you like only.</p> <p>I really like Steemit and I want it to last for a long time. But there are many things to be improved and they need to be addressed soon before this get out of control.</p>

I think there should be a options button link in that corner instead of a flag, where users can report a post for "innapropiate content" or "spam" etc. and then sent it to a special "steemit police" that will determine if that post should be blocked or not. Like you said, its our blog and we should be allowed to post anything we want as long its under Steemit rules.

I can't speak for others, but sometimes I will downvote a post if it's purely a picture or some other baseless thought. Steemit is a place for originality, in my opinion, so if you want to share a meme, go ahead, just add more content than a picture or a link to a youtube video, please. Not speaking for myself, but I suspect that some might downvote others' content in the frustration that theirs doesn't get enough interest. This isn't right, obviously, but I don't know that this is happening, just speculation.

I agree that in general people should be able to post pretty much anything they want (good, bad, ugly), and people shouldn't get upset about what other people post. I'm glad you added "except for identity theft and spam" because I think there do need to be some limits to keep the site beneficial. I would add one more to the list, which is plagiarism. I don't mind people posting other people's content, but when they try to make it seem like it is theirs, that seems wrong.
