My Second Case Study - For Flagging Downvoting ( Stop and Think!!! - Before Pressing that Downvote Button )
Another Downvoting, so call mistaken for being SPAM by @smooth . Well, I said, Stop pressing that Downvote/ Flagging Button, you are hurting all users here in #steemit . No matter how you fix it, the reputation of another fellow user won't be the same. So, stop pressing that button. Trigger Happy Downvoters.
@dantheman @ned please check.
This is #uncool unfair , Happening too often.
This comes to my attention - as by @crok with his post seeking help; please see link

Maybe they should bring back the down vote button and put some requirements/consequences around the flag. If a person flags a post or comment as spam or improper and it is found to not be the case, the flagger is the one who takes the hit on their reputation instead. Just a thought.
That would be my preference. I do not like that the flag button is the only way to downvote and requires rep damage. For independent incidents and small problems it isn't necessary to give someone a bad rep for it, but the platform currently makes that impossible.
Direct Hit on the Nail, consequence for using the button without further investigation.
this little group of flaggots getting out of control.
Downvoting blogs or replies is #uncool.
#uncool is the Tag use by @bullionstackers
i have been tooling around steemit thinking that @smooth was a whale that helps minnows. emphasis on TOOLING. is @smooth a bot? with 0 followed and 9 blog posts i guess i hadn't looked. i, personally, try to use language that doesn't get me targeted by flag bots. failure to capitalize, lots of contractions, small mistakes, these seem to get me by. i have enough problems with my unpopular thoughts and opinions being hunted by ideologs, the scientifically limited and people with a lack of critical thinking skills. my english teachers would be appalled but the method helps me avert the madness. good luck. upvote, though i don't think i have enough power to help.
I'm not a bot. I'm also not particularly a blogger, though I may occasional write a post if I have something important to say. I'm active every day on steemit.chat and in comment threads.
I do have some of my own automation tools that I use for things like following, some limited automated voting, and notably mentions (not supported directly by the platform), which is how I saw your comment.
i am too sorry, no offense meant i am still trying to understand what's what around here. i have already been fooled by several bots. i guess i am getting suspicious somewhat unnecessarily. sorry again. thanks for everything you do here.
Not offended. Pleased to me you. Always good ask questions.
That little flaggot got his own jet airplane...
I believe so.
