Maybe flagging shouldn't be anonymous, like you can only flag from a comment. That way you have to enter into a debate. The author has to better defend their position, and even alter their opinion, and in so doing undo the flag.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
It isn't anonymous. Anything and everything that happens on steemit is on the blockchain. For example this comment.
There is a bit of confusion because sometimes the flags can't be seen on the steemit website, but you are correct they are always visible on the blockchain, the details of which can be reviewed using the advanced mode at steemd.com
Maybe hovering over the flag should reveal this information? Since its available anyway? Just some thoughts. I guess most users don't look into the blockchain and more or less stay on steemit itself.
Thanks for the info!
