The only one I think there should be is the ability to block anyone who is harassing you with it. If it’s personal and not about bettering the blockchain, then people should be able to protect themselves. Especially minnows.

Understand, I'm for protection in some form myself. My first thought is that harassment or the distinction between personal attacks and betterment might require a non-biased 3rd party or some sort of review board or moderating to make that judgement..Its a can of worms, but, I feel it must be addressed if we're ever looking for mass adoption to become a reality. Thx for your input @oh-high-mark

The problem with flagging as I see it it is that you can't ever call someone out on their bullshit without fearing that they're actually a hidden whale who will make sure you can't even make the $.04 we all hope for on our posts. ha. 

It also influences people to kind of be civil, though, so it's not all bad. 

I've never been the victim of a flagging war by someone with power, but I've also held my tongue quite a bit sometimes to protect myself.

This brings up a good point, and I almost included something to the effect of only active accounts should be allowed to flag or basically that bots shouldn't be allowed to flag. So, I left it to other. The holding your tongue is wise, but is also a form of ambiguous censorship in an abstract way. It's also two sided in that if one is helplessly the victim of an assault nobody will come to aid them if they can't match the flagging power. Thus, we see a degradation of any morality here. This to me makes discussions about many things irrelevant if we can't offer some protection to an account with under 100sp..
