I do think flagging should be regarded as a good thing and given the same Curation weighting as upvoting. But the name itself has a certain negative connotation and maybe should be rephrased . If we all want this platform to succeed it seems only right that all the tools in-place to make the reward pool be better dispersed be put to use by the community.

Flagging does not better disperse rewards to the community. It makes it worse.
@haejin was taking a lot of rewards out of the pool, but less than some. He got flagged, and much of the rewards he'd be making are returning to the pool. That's not improving your rewards.
It's improving the rewards of the whales. This is from May.
They get those rewards, not us.
Sorry if i was wrong but i thought that the amount flagged went back to the reward pool to be dipersed in a different way,. I know it may not effect me personally but that it would in some ways help those with less voting power and rewards. Looks like i need to research more.
It does go back to the rewards pool, taken from whatever minnow flaggots victimize.
That's where the rewards go. When they don't, that's when they flag them back into the pool, so they can get them.
I dont really look at it as victimisation if the flagging is done for the right reason. If of course there are personal vendettas happening that's another story. At the end of the day it will all be recorded on the blockchain for all to see who is abusing the system.
That doesn't do those who've been flagged just because whales wanted the money for themselves any good.
@haejin at least has some emotional support that comes from having folks back him against the flags.
Most minnows don't.
Minnows don't see much rewards, and getting flagged for it when they do, pretty much calls for a ragequit. At least, for folks that are posting original content, and not spamming or scamming.
I don't exactly understand how the whales benefit directly from giving flags.? Of course we all know that there is major abuse in the voting system from Self voting excessively to Voting bots and circle jerks but excuse my ignorance for not understanding how this is connected to flagging.
