Great post! I agree with your ideas, especially that only people with high reputation should have the option to flag posts. There are too many users that are abusing the flagging option, and using it against others simply because they disagree with their point of view. Generally those that have been in the Steemit space for awhile now and earned a high rep understand it's usage and are expected not to flag maliciously. Hopefully the developers see this post and make these much needed changes to the platform!
