While I may disagree with your flag on this post, flagging for disagreement on rewards is a proper use of the flag. Flagging people because you simply disagree with them however, is not. It's abuse. I will give you an opportunity to remove your flags from the comments, but if I return and you have not I will have to flag you for abuse.

It's not abuse @dreemit, you're entitled to flag without explanation. Abusive flagging is more like following someone around and flagging everything they do, or using your massive stake (which this guy doesn't have) to repeatedly remove pending rewards from posts.
@americaurusrex has like 28 SP, hardly making a dent 😂
For a second I had no idea what you were talking about.
Eh. He rubbed me the wrong way, honestly the past couple of days have really burnt me out, I can barely stand to read and watch what's going on. You'll see I haven't said a word through any of it today. But consider that what you're saying is true, I also have a right to my opinion don't I? And I could also flag him with the same logic, simply because I don't agree with anything he's saying.
But I don't have it in me to argue with you, truly.
Of course you're entitled to your opinion, but you're not entitled for me to agree with it.
THe logic has become incredibly confused in my opinion. It's okay for bernie to flag tiny accounts because he disagrees with them, but not okay for canadian-coconut? Although she did not actually threaten him, she was just explaining what could happen, if she were the type to do that. Do you really believe flags should be used because you disagree with someone? Because I think that it would become a huge mess on here in a hurry if people did that.
The logic is plain and simple. Flag how you please. Please may disagree but on you go.
I was commenting to provide a counter opinion on @canadian-coconut 's and your implication that there's a way things are done around here. I also wanted to call her up on a threat. But just because I haven't commented on @berniesander 's posts to admonish him doesn't mean I think it's okay for him to carry on as he does.
I think flags should be used however you want. And there's no way for someone else to stop you except to try to persuade you to change your mind by opening a dialogue (which in my experience is how things mostly shake out) or by flagging them into reconsidering.
And it already is a huge mess, but then so is every social network with any amount of freedom.
I don't presume that you support anything I've written here, but I'd like to thank you for articulating this point better than I could.
I'm simply providing the other point of view from someone who can't be dismissed as a noob 🙃
I think I’ve made clear several times that I feel what I have flagged is overvalued. The comments I have flagged, too, carry a message I don’t think warrants rewards.
Ironically, I have been told kind of implicitly that my flag will result in retaliation. You are free to flag for abuse if that’s what you think is happening.
Personally, I find a single flag, on one account’s post and a couple comments doesn’t quite rise to the level of abuse you describe.
