This is such simple advice, but it should be followed to a T. Actually this system I proposed would allow users to see why their content was flagged and if it is spam or tagged incorrectly the poster would be able to see why.
I strongly dislike the current flagging system, because people can simply disagree or be jealous of your content, flag it, and not be held accountable.
I'm sure you have some of your own ideas that would be incredibly valuable to perfect the system I'm proposing New Content Flagging Content System With Feedback
At this point I value your comments on posts as much as upvotes. I know a comment being upvoted by you is valuable, but that can't be expected to happen often unless a user consistently creates thought provoking content or something far beyond a simple sentence.
Your comments on my proposed flagging system overhaul can open a dialogue with all users because you are followed not only because of your whale title, but because you are so heavily invested, you want to do what's best long term for steemit.
A short term gain pales in comparison to creating a system that keeps users happy and engaged and will pay dividends tenfold or more as new users join and add their unique voice without fear that disagreeing or offering an opposing viewpoint will cause them to be flagged.
I think honest critical discussions can occur when a tarnished reputation doesn't when people can be real and raw. Discussions like those between @steve-walschot and @dollarvigilante on the Are We Only Here To Feed The Narcissists post.
Hopefully this system is as important to you as I, but I realize your whale song reaches more users than my simple minnow splashing.
