Hi, newbies here. Where can you find info on what flagging is and why it happens and how to avoid it?
just be yourself and follow the rules. dont beg for votes and dont spam and i think yhu are good
Flagging is like a downvote, if there is more SP downvoting a post than upvoting it, the post will lose its pending rewards and be greyed out. Flagging also effects your reputation, if it gets low enough you will no longer be able to post images and once your rep gets to 0 everything you post will be greyed out instantly.
It happens for any number of reasons, people plagiarizing material, spam, a disagreement over rewards, just out of spite. While its recommended that people only use it for clear cases of abuse, people are free to vote their stake however they like.
The best way to avoid it is to post original content, like @ewuoso mentioned, dont spam or beg for votes, try to avoid being an asshat to people and you should be fine.
If you are unsure how to tell if your post has been flagged, you can check out this post
Thank you! This was useful. I think we should be fine as none of the things you mentioned are of any interest for us! Fair game, fair gain works just fine! :)
Just be careful when flagging someone. Even if you have a valid reason (like they are clearly plagiarizing a post) the flagged person tends to lash out and revenge flag your posts.
If you are worried about something like that, you can bring the offending post to the attention of @steemcleaners and they will take care of it so you don't have to risk any retaliation on your end.

So you are pro plagiarism on Steemit?
I'm anti snitch.
Who am I going to snitch to? Myself?
