Yeah, so all of us in the mid-range being yelled at to flag, let alone the newbies, we're just not going to accomplish more than a symbolic gesture, unless we pound on someone new. I guess that's what the big fish want, though, someone willing to waste their time falling on their own sword over and over. That'll show those spammers!

There are better ways, maybe harder ones, to go about this, and you pick and choose your fights.

Most people take it as an act of war when you flag them, even those in the wrong. Then, they have the nerve to ask why you're not flagging every account! Can't see them all and don't have enough juice to effectively do it because they're legion is why. Justification is going to be the death of us all. :)

Ha ha ha, I was thinking about that last night. I'm not sure if Steemit can stand long-term. I'm not sure the foundation is firm. Still, I'm enjoying the ride. :)

If I were going to flag, I'd wait until I had a ton of SP and delegate a portion to an alt account so my account wouldn't be retaliated against. Even if they're peons spamming/scamming, I still don't want that action on my account.
