Though from hearing only your side of this situation, it seems like you could have a valid point. What I dont like is the sense that people are ganging up on him. I had a similar situation being here for just a couple weeks and not knowing the "unwritten" rules of steem power and flagging. My rep went from a 25 to a 5 simply because I was posting videos that a group of people with alot of influence didnt like. Given that Im new and dont have that steem power I pretty much couldnt defend myself from these actions. I wasnt given any warning, after being flagged the flaggers didnt even write me to let me know that I was flagged and gave me a reason why. Given that Steemit didnt notify me that I was being flagged I was going an entire week while flaggers with a alot of steem power were destroying my page and rep and hiding my content. My point is, speak to the guy, but ganging up on people aint cool. What do you expect when he's being ganged up on, not to rage flag? Of course he's going to lose that battle, given that he's new and he's alone. But in many ways it seems like everyone with steem power and friends are becoming the police now. I've even gotten a taste of that as well, so that comes from experience. And no one decided to remove flags, or even write me to school me. People are having fun doing it, knowing that new people are virtually helpless to it. Who can they tell? It's a decentralized platform. Just my thoughts.
