Sometimes flagging, like upvoting is determined by a body of work.

For example someone who is a known scammer and pays for steemians to be doxxed... May be seen in a less favourable light for other posts.

Just like someone who writes a couple of good posts and gets some bot support to then write some crap and still get the support.

It's all about the body of work.

Either one can fall out or get back into favour.

Well, if this is so, then you should check out Mathew 7 1:5

7 “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
