I'm one of those new users that is being flagged! I didn't invest, but rather started an account for free. I have brought over 5 of my friends to try out steemit. However my last post was flagged by bots from the Steemit Defence League. Some great users have created counter bots, to combat the SDL. However I'm really hesitant to post again to keep getting downvoted , really frustrating since I did nothing wrong. Plus the post keeps getting downvoted. You can see it all on my last post. I hope I can over come this, but it also might lead to me leaving Steemit. Sucks!

I wouldn’t worry much about it in your particular case! Trolls are a fact of life, case in point the “SDL.” Flags are still a relevant, useful & needed part of the system though.
In your case, the SDL members flagging you have only kept .1 SP each it looks like! The negative votes are no more than symbolic and doing you no real harm. Don’t let it chase you off!
If you have not given any retaliatory flags to them, file a report with @steemcleaners, and they will investigate, results can vary from nothing, (agreeing with the flag) to putting the offending account on a blacklist that get downvoted everytime it post. If you have retaliatory flagged them, they will do nothing.
