Also, disagreement on rewards and spam.
Btw, these are some Common reason to flag,and they are at best guidelines, not rules.
The others reasons are: whatever you want.
This is How the system works, and yes, this platform is created exactly like that.
The Lost of voting power to flag is where the game theory mentioned on the whitepaper.
If everyone Just flag everyone, everyone loses.
If everyone only upvote everyone, scammers and spammers Win.
If most of flags are well used, its a positive sum for the community as a whole.
You shouldn't be so pissed of about the flag. It is part of the system, and It didnt hurt your rewards in general. You are still getting more rewards than most of others users Will ever get (1.074,31 token rewards for the next 7 days at the time of this writting), so, no big damages.
And also, as a big player (23k SP) think you should be more Active in giving around some flags to posts here and there that don't add Any value to the community.
The problem is that when big players like you complain that much about a one time flag, you set the example that "flags are inherently bad" to your followers, wich Will encourage them to never use their flags, even on low value contents.
Dont't be mad If you get some flags from time to time. It Will happen, but If your content is good (wich in your case, most of it is good), the upvotes Will override the eventual flag that you will probably recieve from time to time.
What we all need is to not take the flags as a personal offense, but as a part of the system, and use them when we think we have to.
PS: i really like your food. Too bad my cooking skills aren't at that level.
i dont care about the money with flag, its not nice but that wasnt my point. read my post. Flagging for no reason is abuse. And i found out the reason why i was flagged. Not because of me or my content, but because bernie sanders went after a guy who voted for me twice. and said he will downvote every single person who he voted for. So i was just part of that game like many other users. You only have been on steemit since november 2017... flagging was created for spamming and plagirism and abuse. but not for whatever reason. I have flagged plagirism and spamming many times. But i dont want to go and waste my time looking for things to flag, i focus on positive things and spend my time creating. But ultimately you can do that if you want and flag around , its your choice.
