Yeah, looks like people can't be trusted to follow proper etiquette. This kind of flagging behavior absolutely should be called out. And what kind of platform this is will depend on such people correcting this childish behavior.
Don't really see many solutions. All depends on the character and examples set by those with influence.
Thanks Eon
We all have influence. Some more than others. If people decide they don't want this type of system, they can change it.
I personally hate the flag system. I think it's too easily abusable. People with fat wallets can crush their weaker opposition. I like the MUTE button. That makes more sense to create a personalised experience that blocks content you'd rather not see.
