If anything, from what I've seen, flagging @haejin just polarized the community and made him king of the rep on the platform. Of course I know these numbers don't mean squat, but I'm reluctant to flag anything because of what value I think something is because that's largely subjective and I think it violates voluntarist principles (use of force to impose your values onto others) and creates a negative atmosphere.

Well haejin got his rep more or less completely from rancho and his 1M SP. If you would create 10 posts per day and have 1M SP to upvote this posts you would push your rep veeeery high xD
I may be wrong but I think at least 90% of his rewards were created by ranchos votes.

I may be wrong to, but my guess would be 98+%, @dera123

I think the platform would be better off not focusing on the egos and avoiding the use of the downvote. We shouldn't be trying to drag @haejin down. We should be trying to lift others up.
I feel the same way about flagging people. It's a good way to divert the reward pool to plankton. If the whales flag each other, maybe more can be spread to the rest of us. I dislike the quality of myself of enjoying watching these guys fight online. It's a quality that is as bad as envy.
I clicked though. Here I am reading the drama. Oh well, at least I am not looking at their wallets and feeling envy. Pick your poison.
It's not against voluntarist principles because this is a DAC. Your shares are property ownership. You therefore have the right and duty to express your subjective opinion of a post's value. The goal is to increase the value and profit gained from your property (the blockchain). If you are paying for a service (blogging), you have a right to say someone's wages are higher than the value they provide. Once delegation and professional curation is worked out we'll see a lot less bullshit I'm sure, but flagging is a necessary part of post appraisal.
