This was well explained here,people should not take flagging as a personal attack.

Most times we differ on views and someone flags you because they think the reward is not appropriate,it is good for the flaggers also to give a clear reason for the flag!

The flags should not surprise an old user as you say because the old users know the rules....

We should not take flagging personal,it is just a way of keeping the community great and growing.
