RE: Flagging Could Destroy Steemit by Monopolising Tag Whales
Maybe a feature needs to be built in that if a member flags x number of posts, someone reviews the flags. If the reason isn't obvious, the person flagging gets one opportunity to explain the reason. If the reviewer isn't satisfied with the explanation the flag gets reversed. I expect a team of reviewers would be required. Human intervention wont be infallible but it may help to slow down the ones who use flagging with impunity now.
There is no "someone" in charge who can review things like there is at Facebook, Twitter, etc. This is a decentralized system where everyone is a moderator (yes, even you!). If someone flags something and you don't think that is appropriate, respond to their flagging with an upvote. The system counts (SP-weighted) votes and reaches a consensus.
