I believe people are free to try different thing without the need to reprimand. A community will decide the hidden rules but don't need to force them with flag war or bad comments.

The site is meant to function like the Wisdom of the Crowd. Five people upvote something, most ignore it, five people flag it. At the end of the week the OP gets his/her money in there wallet.

It is a free market and the crowd decides the rules that they want to see on their ecosystem. It is like everyone can be a sheriff or bandit!

This is true, but it doesn't work well if no one is curating
