I actually got caught right in the middle of this flag war and i ended up being flagged myself. I’m just a steemian who wants to use the platform and interact with people. I want piece with this whole issue. 

My opinion is that a flag shouldn’t subtract value, but instead be a marker for a moderator to notice and go see if rules are being broken. But i want peace between the groups here because the bickering does nothing but inflame the situation. I think a serious talk would go a long way to resolving some of the issues people have with each other

There is no moderator on steem. We are all responsible for other members. This is a beaty of the system. No moderators and no censorship.

Totally. But something with the flagging system should change. Because if a user goes “rogue” and flags everything, how do you stop that? I dont think flags should punish as harshly as they do because it creates an imbalance on the platform. New users with low power can be silenced. Which goes against what this platform is about. I just think something should change and these problems need to be addressed by creators. What would you say needs to change? Or should nothing change?

If a user goes rogue the community can correct it, if they deem it worth it. 

It is far easier to counter flags than upvotes.  

If I flag your post because I’m just a jerk, it isn’t difficult to get an upvote that balances it. 

If you upvote your post that contains plagiarized content or some sort of scam, it is considerably harder to get someone willing to sacrifice any form of reward to downvote it , especially when they can be downvoted in return out of revenge but the downvote is for the good of the community. 

I find it difficult to understand why so many feel flagging is bad no matter the reason.

we're not getting middle men.  Central authority is what this place is fighting.

Central authority is what this place is built on.  93% of power is in the hands of 39 accounts.  That is all the power, and grants all authority.

It is a complete fantasy to suppose that Steemit isn't centralized.

Power is more centralized on Steemit than in any other example I can think of.
