Flags are pointless. They only lead to retaliation. Spammers still spam, copy and paste guys still copy and paste. Steemit is a barely developed social media program in beta, it was orginally made popular by being a travel photo site you can use crypto for. How this half developed beta program became a place for elitest bully writters ill never know. Chill out guys its in beta. Flags dont help the platform in the least bit. Just keeps investors away and the billions of 'shit posters' from facebook, insta, youtube etc. Who by the way are skipping right over Steemit and the front ends that just want your rewards typically.
You had a friend and felt a comment was not suitable as the top comment. I agree a copy and paste comment asking for sp can easily come off as tacky and spammy. Just next time when you decide to flag, understand you gotta check your priveledge aka Steempower/Mvests. Thats what you did wrong here you flagged an dolphin account without community support or sp to counter. Just next time you're in this situation just keep in mind flags do nothing but makes bullies out of people that should be friends. I highly suggest just making a comment next time. Asking why they're, just aimlessly asking for steem power on a friend's post.
If you are right that flags are pointless, why do they exist? Design flaw?
Its to reward high stake members by letting them control the content. Because they are invested.
Wow! Is that conjecture, or do those involved admit such?
I suggest reading the whitepaper. I have been in this situation your in. At the end of the day there are no winners in a F U game.
I read it when I started here, and it didn't say that. Has it been updated recently?
What situation do you refer to? Doing the right thing but being told to stop because it isn't how things go around here?
