I agree the flags are stupid, I rarely get anything much for my posts then the odd time one my my articles actually do make a nice bit $10 plus someone flags it cos they think it's earned too much, that's totally unfair and disheartening!
Maybe if we could have a flag only for members with plus 10M vests, but for us minnows it's so unfair to take rewards away from us! We try our best where the big fish just have big fish friends!
