Same thing here. I am a newbie, and I was showing my appreciation for a post. I never dreamed that someone who hates spam as much as I do would see a flag. Let's hope that in the future there will be a way to target spammers more accurately. Until then, let's all keep encouraging each other.

Upvotes cost power, power that could be used actually praising content, rather than small "welcome" messages.

Than just ignore them and don't be selfish if they actually make a good comment on your post.

Ok I might not understand this, so if someone could point me to information I would appreciate it, but how exactly does a reply harm anyone? I saw it as a means of saying something without having to dedicate actual resources to it. It isn't about being "selfish", it just seems odd that you would think "Thanks"is trash, but "You are welcome" extremely relevant contributions. Isn't the entire point of steemit to vote on "contributions", as in, actual helpful comments? Not every niceness thrown your way?

I mean, it is fine, I am not particularly concerned, I will just say "Thank you!" instead so I don't get instantly flagged.
