It's been over 4 years since our last post, and while there are tons of excuses for our lack of posting I'm sure everyone would love to hear, you'll just have to wait another 4 years. The service has been running smoothly this entire time, but let's just say there have been some roadblocks in publishing anything concrete. Now the time has come for @freezepeach to move to next level, to actually make a difference.

In a moment of sheer ignorance, I have mistakenly resteemed something while logged in with the wrong account. Aggroed's post about the Boston meetup was not flagged, and does not require the assistance of the community.

It's been a week since launch, and while the conversation has continued at an unbelievable pace on discord, steemit.chat, in various DMs, and also on steemit posts, the amount of downvoted post submissions has been surprisingly low. Hopefully that's because very few thought they were flagged unfairly, but in case it's not...

Introducing @freezepeach, the service that encourages controversial topics and tries to facilitate diversity of opinion on steemit. The aim is to add an effectively neutralizing vote to posts or comments on the platform that have been flagged solely because of a difference of opinion. With a plethora of possible gray areas to be explored, this service will be a serious undertaking to say the least. Take this introduction as a guide to understanding the philosophy and reason behind this service, rather than interpreting it as a concise volume of guidelines set in stone.
