I don't agree with flagging in general. If I don't like your content then I will skip over it and not upvote it. I do agree that there are certain circumstances that flagging is warranted. The problem is that some are too flag happy and flag others due to different opinions such as what tag is used for what. Which leads me to my next point.

While tags like introduceyourself are self explanatory a tag like Steemit is not. One can view that tag in such a way that allows it to be used on any Steemit topic.

I still haven't visit the topic you linked but by the sounds of it.. this is a new user we are talking about. New users should be educated and then warned long before getting flagged. Actually that goes for any user.

I have no problem that his post is selling a service. How many post on Steemit has an affiliate link attached to it ? There are many. I first used my account to advertise new crypto start ups and in returned I got paid in crypto for the articles I wrote. I see many others doing similar things with their accounts. What he done is no different.

What separates him from the others is he had the money to advertise to a wider audience. If this person wants to advertise using his account then all the power to them. I wish them the best of luck.
