Because if there is no flag, assholes like @jerrybanfield will drive their post to over $1,000's all while conning the sheep. The flag is and always will be needed for community protection.
Unless a flag causes a post, thought, idea or any other type of post to disappear from the platform they are not censorship, they are needed.
Can you link me to a post you have done that is an actual post? I looked and it looks like a bunch of truth meme's and short tweet type post. Do you have any real post or stories? I am not trying to be mean, just trying to see what you offer.
I offer my 15 minute videos and music from Dtube, music through Dsound, And I have been posting my memes, travel photos And a few longer articles. I posted an article about unrecoverable accounts. titled Crypto Bombshell Cryptocurrencies Dirty Little Secret.

I also posted an article about my suggestions for platform improvements.

Most of my posts are my travel photos. I have been posting small groups of photos from my travels with a small amount of copy to describe the photos and what they are about.
I believe I am using the platform as intended.
Please let me know why if you disagree.
I want to use Steemit as it was intended, so any suggestions you have will be greatly appreciated.
I have a question for you. If a DAPP can go around and upvote it can also be designed to deliver flags. It is the same problem. Someone could program their bot to flag everybody. I think DAPPs should be banned because the give an unfair advantage to the reward pool. Uh oh, Did I open another Pandora's Box?
