We need to act now -- or is it already too late ? this is gonna be my next post topic . To be honest and more relevant on why flags are needed -- or are they not needed stays where is steem moving towards ?

my personal opinion has always been the same . Steem is turning into the worlds most worst playground for capitalism , where richer is getting fuck load of more money and the poor peoples are getting nothing and leaving this platform (in this case the new comers / users )

Is still really a proof of bran now ?

Above are few examples of why we need flags

Now is free flag worth it ? well to be honest -- I simply don't know , The idea of captcha means we will have to flag manually -- without automation you really cant detect all that users that are milking or spamming inside the chain .

My and my team are building a bot (Fully Automated) and Artificially Intelligent to detect the different patterns of Spamming , for example Bid Botting , Less Character Posts , Voting Patterns of Attached accounts , Reward count and many more . The logic behind this bot is very huge . If any one wants to look this bot in action you can look https://steemd.com/@steem-keeper .
we are currently upvoting everything with 1% for testing purpose only .

my Personal Opinion - Since Steem will only have value around the users in this great ecosystem , we can elect a group of committee , and take this automation in action where we can use the free flag option (Hard coded ) , not every people will have this feature , and this group can be elected with the process of how steem.dao works , but the voting pattern should be different (Not based on the stake you hold but based of votes your get from active users only ) . The members of this committee will be reviewed Time and again and if necessary can be changed using a permission grade system that is already in graphene , This way we can fight against spam , save the concept of flagging AKA Downvoting , and make steem great .

Hope you like my answer
