Well, come on, "every rose has its thorn"...

I think a more practical way of redistributing unfairly high rewards would help. I don't have a suggestion though. The current situation is, if you use a flag, there's a good chance you will see retaliation. There is sort of an unspoken "positivity only" social contract with some in these parts. The last flag I placed was on a "First!" poster who didn't read the post, and it was overruled by a larger user and he was then over-compensated several Steem worth as a result.

I recommend new users or minnows avoid authors and tags that might result in them wanting to flag or make negative comments.
