It is interesting that you had this conversation with sneak.
Because he has flagged my posts about vaccinations,
and he has left comments asking everybody to flag posts like mine.
Fortunately he seems too busy with his job to find most of the posts on that topic, but he does sometimes get on the site and flag a few in a day.
I absolutely agree that this is bad behaviour for an employee of Steemit, especially when it is advertised as a censorship free platform.
The whole flagging thing brings up questions. It’s not clear what it’s floor. Maybe they should have different categories like abuse, etc but not just because I disagree with someone.
I think that there should be a drop-down box before you flag,
where you check off one of the acceptable reasons.
Or maybe the last reason could be "I'm just a jerk!" ... lol ...
Sneek might break that box right off.. From clicking it so many times. :-/
