RE: Payouts Over $50 vs. Flags Applied (Feb. 18-24)
I usually answer anyone asking why they got flagged, I don't need too and often they reason is not well received. I've read you message by pure luck, Next time reply to one of my comment or writte at anytime my name as @Transisto and I should receive a notification.
Good suggestion that you've had to provide a field to explain the downvote, I'm currently writing a post with listing my guidelines for up/downvotes. For me a flag is just a downvote, nothing personal.
This is what I like to see. When I first arrived to steemit even though there were "no rules" had a good understanding and respect for the reasoning behind flags by whales and therefore learned to avoid them (without having to censor myself). But over time things changed and I wrote a post many months ago suggesting that people write a post like the one you're writing. Rather than have to repeatedly explain yourself for how you vote, it would be great if everyone (or at least the large stake holders) set their own rules and made them clear to everybody so that we can react more civilly to the down vote.

Thanks. I will read your new post when you finish it.
I think that more communication is key to helping people understand what has happened to them when they have been flagged, especially people new to Steemit.
It's not the best idea to let one's imagine run wild with scenarios, which it may sometimes do when first flagged, especially if new to Steemit. Some people have even screamed censorship over a single flag, even a minnow flag, because they didn't have any information on why it is happening.
