Agreed, sometimes steemit feels like the wild west. Sometimes there are rules based on a stronger hiearchy and other time we are just completely making it up as we go! At the very least if no one wants to call them "rules", there should be more guidelines.

Even if the guidelines were "there are no rules" they would be more helpful than what we have at the moment.
Haha, yeah I complexity agree. That actually would be more helpful! It would prevent me from looking like I am wrong when I tell someone "the proper way to use a flag".
I think just making the "flag" (which is now more or less a powerful downvote) icon look more like a regular downvote would help new users get used to the platform.
I think you are right, Then it become more of "I disagree with this because that is my opinion" instead of "you've done something wrong and I am calling you out"!
