Great interview! I now understand a little better what witnesses are doing. As for flagging, I don't understand the flagging for disagreement of rewards. I get spam, plagiarism and hate speech.
I also agree that it's better to have flagging than nothing at all but look forward to a better solution in the future.

Yeah. It is the tool we have. Fortunately or unfortunately it is an indiscriminate tool that doesn't care if your use of it is legitimate or not. It's left up to human nature to use the tool correctly.
Fortunately, in my limited experience, the majority of people would rather reward each other than get into flag wars just because they disagree with one another. Obviously that does happen, as a couple of commenters and Luke himself have mentioned. But hopefully it is not something that a base user has to worry about too much.
Glad we could help you understand witnesses a little better! Let us know what questions you have and we will try to help continue to increase your understanding!
