Yep, Alot of people work hard for there up-votes but then others just get up-voted and down goes the reward pool, my problem would be that if i was to start flagging this could have an impact on me post in future, so I stay well away from the war.
Another thing i would like to see for steemit which came to mind would be notifications, so if some one commented or replied to a post it would pop up on screen. would make life so much easier, I have been reading posts but 11 minutes ago you replied, if i had notification this message back to you would have been nearly straight away.
I’m not 100% certain, though think that either busy.org or one of the alternative Steem app/interfaces does have a notification feature like that. Coulda sworn I saw it at some point when checking one of them out, though not sure which exactly...
Busy.org has notification running pretty well
