I have some ideas but unfortunately, they will be censored and hidden here so I will also post them on Twitter where they are not censored and hidden.
Flagging
There should be some kind of rules for flagging and Steemit should be the one to approve or disapprove it. This will stop all the flagging for no reason and the multiple flagging on one blog. Multiple flagging causes your account score to go down and now you see when its below 0, everything you post is hidden. I think that's how you want it though Ned.
The whales have gone "rogue".
Flagging shouldn't take away #STEEM that has already been given to you by other members. Members who up vote your blog obviously see value in it. That value shouldn't be canceled out by someone with more STEEM power and take away that rewarded STEEM.
Bots
It's crazy how anyone can make a bot to flag blogs for whatever reason they feel like. It's very annoying and it pisses off a lot of people. I have seen whales post about flagging someone so make their score so low that their blogs are hidden, like @I have some ideas but unfortunately, they will be censored and hidden here so I will also post them on Twitter where they are not censored and hidden, like @patrice does. This makes Steemit centralized.
Favoritism
The same members who make up these rules, don't apply them to their whale friends. Favoritism is bad and makes Steemit look like a Pyramid Scheme.
Some of what you wrote I agree with, but not the proposed solution. Your comments also show up just fine on Busy.org etc.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
