I believe flagging has a few criteria, one of which is uneven distribution of the reward pool - which is the main issue of Haejin's posts.
A huuuuge proportion of the upvote is through Rancho, so I put an alternative solution of Haejin pushing all his Steem to an alt account and starting from there. I think Rancho is set to auto upvote any Haejin post, so it removes that from the equation, and he can carry on as he does now. He could even use Haejin original account purely to resteem his alt account posts.
I'd prefer that he carry on as is, rather than the place devolve into some sort of flagging war. It is very unattractive, especially as it plays out on the sign up page for the site.
And then again. Rancho has the SP and the right to vote on what he want, otherwise steem does not work and we have bigger issues.
This is true, but it is also true for those deciding to use their SP to address what they see as an imbalance in the reward pool.
The end result of all of this is a very public mud slinging match that plays out on the sign up screen to Steem. That can't look good to an external party looking to sign up, and certainly not as an advertisement as to the benefits of SMT.
It is a balancing act. Retaining the freedom to do whatever you want versus the results of that negatively impacting on the platform. No point in just letting things attempt to run themselves if it results in the destruction of the platform. In that instance, we all lose.
I love to see positive and constructive comments. I dream that steemit will be a place for all of us to discuss and analyze anything. and of course no spammers anymore
This comment made me realize something @mfano. i share your dreams, and I think WE ALL should work towards it, and DO NOT let others work on that dreams FOR us, in the physical world we DELEGATE POWER to other people to work for US in achieving this same dream on the physical world. Those people are the so called Politicians!
Most of them are not responsible enough to carry on with SUCH AMOUNT OF POWER in their hands, and they end up succumbing to corruption (money, greed, fear..)

We are getting smart and that is thanks to the internet, we can all know, share, debate, love with each other "strangers" from all over the world
If we get smart and mature enough and bypass all the "funny cat videos" and some "junk" that millions of people are trending /watching right now in their facebook walls, and instead use it for our benefit
instead of asking for goverment, we may be our own goverment
anarchy is nothing without common sense (to me)
now if you excuse me, my brain waves are asking for some encrypted messages 2pac (Makaveli the Don) left on his songs.

fun fact, went to youtube to listen to the song, after typing killuminati in the search box all the auto suggestions that show up 10 or so are not even related to his work / song... just some things not related... better know what you looking on youtube or you may end up looking at funny cat videos...
Go d.tube !
