Ah @justineh thanks for taking the time to reply. I must admit I am starting to warm to you.
Admittedly I fall into the ''falgs are an absolute last resort'' kind of thinking
The level of flag abuse I am seeing and experiencing really disturbs me. I believe that deliberately driving people off the platform, negatively impacts the value of Steem and Steemit. I can only assume that it will continue to do so until we deal with the underlying problem.
How would it be if I make a post or two naming the abused account and describing the behavior as I see it. Then describe the behavior of the flagger's group of accounts which at times is the same just on a larger scale than the person being flagged?
Personally i would prefer more prominent accounts take on the task. Someone who can actually write well.
feedback welcomed.
