I didn't say I accepted anything, just to be clear. I just eluded to the fact I personally will probably stick around and let Steemit grow a little bit before I jump to judgment or ship.
I have been lurking, reading and posting a little over a month now, and I think they have changed how flagging once or twice already in that time frame. It is a little bit of trial and error.
I firmly believe there needs to be either a flag option or a downvote option to hold people accountable. Implementing a system where people can't over use or abuse it would be ideal.
if not accepting it, then what can be done to stop it? waiting around while the flaggers get more steem power (to flag more) while the new members are leaving like flys because of the flagging isn't going to stop? by the time steemit is out of beta the flaggers are going to have so much more power then they do now. problem will only be worse by then.
