RE: Is There A Whale War Going on In Steemit?
Better to fix the structural issue that is CAUSING the problem than to add yet another layer of complexity to deal with the results.

The structural issue is the lack of a mediation system.
I beg to differ: I think the problem is the implementation of the flagging system itself. In my opinion solutions should avoid adding additional layers of complexity if at all possible.
There is a need for flagging though. It does filter out spam and plagiarism quite effectively. I think it remains a useful tool.
I agree. I just needs to be re-worked to limit its effect to the issues you've stated above.
