Don't worry mate, over the years steem has had numerous problems but the community has always banded together to come up with a solution.

• plagarism -> @cheeta
• last minute voters -> @abusereports
• spammers -> numerous anti spam bots
• bid bot abuse -> @transparencybot
• @haejin / @ranchorelaxo -> current flag war

This won't be the last flag war but it will certainly be the biggest.
