Flagging

• Each day the Steem Blockchain creates new Steem 
• That Steem is distributed via our votes
• The more stake you hold the more your votes are worth
• When you post (or comment) the community has 3 options      
  • upvote
  • downvote/flag
  • no action
• A post is active for 7 days
• When that week is over you get to claim whatever the balance is.
