ARE SOME PEOPLE ABUSING THEIR FLAGGING RIGHTS ON STEEMIT?

Few days ago someone flagged the comment I made on someone's post. I was wondering why I was flagged by this user, because it was not a spam, scam or a begging for votes comment. I was just asking a question pertaining to what the post was talking about because I did not understand something there.

I was quite angry about the flag and I almost retaliated, but I choose not to do that because I don't want to create a toxic space in my steem journey. The person who flagged me might take pleasure in flagging people, so if I had retaliated he might turn it into a flag war and that is a distraction to me, which I don't have time for.

The last time I checked the reasons for flagging, I did not see where asking a question was part of the reason for flagging.

Here is the official reasons for flagging on steemit:

So has you can see In the image above, asking a question is not part of the reason to flag someone. But it is like there are people who like drama on this platform, that they can flag you for no sensible reason, so that they can start a fight with you.

So it is like on steemit, even if you want to avoid all those things that can cause you to be flagged, you might still get flagged for no reason at some point, so brace yourself up.

Am sure am not the only one who has experienced this type of flag before. I think some people are abusing their flagging rights on steemit and something needs to be done about it.
