I deff agree matt, but I would be scared of getting flagged back out of revenge.
I worked really hard to get my 49 Rep and my 250 followers during my last two months here and I just want to post quality content, curate interesting posts, and make meaningful friendships.
I think that it's important to flag, but I think the responsibility should lie with those with high rep and VP. From what I read, if the flagger has a lower Rep then the user they are flagging then it won't affect the pay out at all.
What do you think, should the role of flagging be distributed to those with a lot of influence or should everyone flag, even the less established accounts?
Also, do you think we should all develop a method of signaling the whales and dolphins of potential flag worthy material so minnows can still participate in maintaining the quality of acceptable content, while still staying low key?
I completely understand where you're coming from and understand your concerns, so I really don't blame you at all.
I personally don't think that anyone should be scared to flag if they truly believe that what they're flagging deserves it. I also think that it's important to explain why you flagged, you know?
I think that in the future, flagging may become more automated, but as it stands at the moment, it's kind of our duty as citizens of the Steem planet haha. But yeah, I feel ya on wanting to hold off on the flagging.
