My contribution to Steemit: Add "aggrandizement" as a valid reason for flagging

How about adding sycophantry as well? Also won't be reviewed and considered, but hey.

That's actually a pretty good idea, however, I don't think sycophantry is mainstream enough like aggrandizement. This reasons list should be a top list for potential downvote reasons. When was the last time you casted a downvote for sycophantry?

Quite some time ago, before I muted Mindhunter.

Yes, that's a good one! Then we wouldn't need to think so hard about whether a comment was spam before flagging.

It seems that somebody who is sycophantic actually displays sycophancy though, unlike somebody who is pedantic, who displays pedantry (like me). Maybe that should count as a reason to flag too ;)

I learned this word today and just heard it for the first time when I watched some random stuff on youtube :O

You mean, are you saying ... that word is on YouTube??

I just had never heard it before ... and then I encounter it twice within a day.
