I have no problem flagging posts that need to be flagged. I just think that people need to stop and think before flagging in some cases.
Not in cases like this, though.

That's very true. Flagging has been missused a lot in the past, but this is quite clear to be honest. Not everyone agrees though and some feel we need to educate, instead of flag. I'm just not sure how long they want to continue trying to educate, before they see it's not working.
Oh yes, this one is extremely clear.
I firmly believe in flagging and education. I've seen it work really well.
Everyone flags the offending material into oblivion. Person makes posts begging to stop or for help recovering their reputation. They find their way over to @neoxian. He charges them for his services. (I like that, because if it costs them money it seems to make them take their second chance more seriously.)
They get things sorted out, and from what I've seen, they at least try to become contributing members of the platform. Now, a lot of them just have shit content and leave pretty lousy comments, but they're at least trying which I have to give them credit for after their previous behavior.
Yeah, that sounds good. Honestly, I know not everyone is a good blogger. I don't mind lousy content and posts, as long as they are heartfelt and meant well. Sure, they won't get many upvotes, but that's a logical way of how the system works. You don't get to be successful as a rocket scientist if you can't actually hold your own in that field, so why should you become successful here if you can't deliver good content?
Atleast if they actually try, I'll appreciate them and be able to have a normal conversation with them. Heck, I'd even be inclined to throw them an upvote once in a while if they proof to be a good conversational partner.
I agree with you completely.
