RE: Want an alternate Steemit Career? Try Flagging and @steemflagrewards!
In principle I agree with the idea behind this but the problem I see is if there are no strictly set guidelines on what to flag, and no one to enforce those guidelines should they not be followed. For now I'll remain neutral on this matter regardless of my personal opinion because those folks abusing the system are using methods allowed by the system. I'd also like to point out that there may be alternatives to flagging to take the element of pure greed out of the social media aspect of Steemit that could curb both the use of multiple accounts and bots to self vote. Greetings!
We do have a standard and a set of guidelines with definitions of abuse that are thoughtfully and meticulously worked out.
If someone tries to abuse our system we will not allow then to do it more than once. All flags and comment must be approved manually.
Every now and then someone flags the wrong thing we ask them to remove the flags. Usually give the account it happened to some upvotes, just to show our goodwill in steemit.
