Thank you my friend @perceptualflaws! Yes they are scum, and stealing from the reward pool and people's hard work and ethos that makes this platform enjoyable for all, no matter what community or topics we are all interested in. As far as the flag 'bots' are concerned, they seem to be totally random, as hundreds of users are reporting being flagged from a varying array of communities.

They obviously didn't enjoy this post as they gave me a flag for this one too haha. At least the steem power attached to these accounts is at a very low level!
