To undo this, all flags should have the same weight and all this nonsense will stop when abusers have the dog shit flagged out of them as a true community effort.

Same weight as what? $0.01? $0.001? In that scenario, account networks such as the dart/tard group would have already won since they have 20K+ accounts. The Byteball farmers will be especially potent since they all have several hundred, if not thousands, accounts.

Even the nuisance of Steemit Defence League terrorized the crap out of people with their annoying 180+ accounts of dust votes.

On a closing note, the community flagged the crap out of Mr. Rep 83, but doing so required a consistent 2M SP on his tail. That was not going to happen. None of the whales were interested in a prolonged flagging session. There were also not enough active smaller accounts that wanted to be in the crossfire.
