I, too, am getting tired of the "flaggots" on here. I think flagging should be rare and only to draw attention to a post that is not tagged correctly or involves child porn, murder for hire, or other actual crimes. The flag should cause a review of the material by a witness and corrective action should be taken.

Flagging to lower the payout because you think it doesn't deserve whatever money other people have given it is like going to Wal-Mart and taking money from the till because you don't like the profit they are making. It's theft.

Flagging because you don't like someone or their opinions or writing style is just bullying. Don't like someone or what they have to say, then don't read them.

I don't flag people if I disagree with them or the popularity of their post. I don't want to take away any money they have earned from people who have voluntarily given it to them. I will make a comment if I feel it is warranted but that is all. Unfortunately, I do fear retaliation and flagging from those people.

I do hope this issue gets resolved soon or I do see a split in the community.
