Absolutely and fully agree with all of this. Why should I spend 20 hours writing a short story to publish on steemit when some fellow is going to come along and flag it into oblivion because he doesn't think this type of content should have success? It's going to shut out a huge portion of what should be what steemit is about. Spend those flags on things that deserve it, like copy/paste content, spam, plagiarized material, etc.
