The tool you shared is an excellent tool! Although I'm using steemdb, I wasn't aware of the list of flagged account. It gives an interesting insight, for sure.

To throw flags In between steemians negotiations, is not very gentlemen like. It's just bad behaviour.

I agree as long as the posts and comments are not violating the rules defined by the community.

In several cases the flag is the only instrument a curator with plenty votingpower should use.

Currently Steemit has the flag as the only tool for Steemians to use when a Steemian does not like the behaviour of some other account.

The questions I ask myself are amongst others:

• Is the flag as currently implemented the only tool that shall be available to the community?
• Is the flag as currently implemented the most effective implementation (eg flags only possible on account level, flag weight the same for all Steemians regardless of SP)?
• Shall more tools be made available, each with its distinct behaviour (eg effecting only reputation, effecting only rewards)? Flags only allowed by special accounts, these accounts shall act as executioner to rules the community decides for?
