No one can build an account. This account is worthless without the steem in it. I paid lots of fiat for it just for the purpose of flagging and commenting.

Thanks! Very kind of you!
It does feel personal. And it made me powerless.
What do you think about the way donwvoting is being practice?
Ps: let me know if I can help you in anyway.
Got flagged @mapleleaf123? Annoyed? Welcome to the steem blockchain.
Don't worry, it's not the end. There are some cool people here that will help you out.
You just need to put the effort in to find them.
Combining social media with money is a new and novel concept, which makes the rules of engagement a bit different.
Many have given up, but those who have stuck around have built great accounts and get regular upvotes.
What you do from here is your choice, but how you will feel in a few years if steem goes to $10 or $100 a coin?
You can go and create an amazing contest on Facebook... But you will make... Zero.
I got loads of flags, but I am here and I am not going anywhere.
Sit back, relax, make some friends and enjoy the journey.

Hi @kabir88! Thanks for stopping by and for your kind words!
The thing is, because it was done randomly and viciously, I don't believe in the system any more.
It played a similar role to the censorship on Twitter or FB. Somebody doesn't like you, your work up to than is gone!
Why do steemit needs a flagging and downvoting system to begin?
You don't like the post? Don't vote it! Better still, write a negative comment and others will upvote your comment instead of the post. If a negative comment gets more upvotes, you will change!!!!!
Nobody needs to get nasty!
That's why I don't believe steemit has the great future that you hope for.
I dedicated hours every day to my account for months and because someone didn't like it, my work didn't even pay for the electricity I used in the process. And I think there are a lot people like me in the mix. Have a look how many accounts didn't post for the last 6 months.
Have a nice day!
Ps: if you find a platform that doesn't allow angry mobs, PLEASE let me know!!!!
It could be great!
Well some down voting is just hateful and mean. And some of the guys with lots of sp are bullies.
At steemflagrewards we just want to clean up the garbage and its not about the people its about the long term viability of the platform. Many people just don't realize how much is going on here or who is behind what. I was that way and now after being here for almost a year I still am learning every day. Some things I don't think we will ever figure out. Because of the many accounts that are smart and anon.
But if you take some time dig in to the steemd 's and the steemdb 's of many of these accounts you will learn a lot.
Let me give you some examples to dig in @steemit @misterdelegation @fulltimegeek @transisto @nextgencrypto @smooth @freedom @pumpkin most of these guys own so many accounts you will never realize how much steem they actually hold. It would be wise not to be rude or hateful twards them because with a few clicks you could end up with an invisible account.
Then there are the badger accounts the jamesc accounts and many more. There is so much mystery and intrigue its hard not to dig all the time.
Try to make your own way. Find a group to join and get involved. Don't just copy another guys MO create your own.
I am not sure what has been the issues you were dealing with. When I stumbled onto this conversation I was just running around Upvoting @jplaughing s comments. He is one of the abuse fighters and moderators from @steemflagrewards.
They should care!
Not about me, of course, but about how the system works on steemit.
I never got an advice or a warning, just destroyed. No dialogue, no conditions in which the downvoting will stop.
When I pointed out that other (bigger) accounts are doing the same, the answer was "yes, but not you".
Do you think a system that alouds such a treatment will be the future, will offer an alternative to FB, for example?
Why should anybody make content if it is so easy, and random (nobody downvotes @maarnio for the same thing) to be reduced to zero?
I am disappointed in steemit, but I am glad it happened now.
Have a nice day!
Forgive me for being harsh with you. I was also having a bad day. There are lots of problems here and everywhere in life. We have to try to overcome them and plug away.
I think you can find your way here I did after getting some flags too in the beginning. When your new those flags feel personal. But most of them are not personal. Just try to learn who you can trust and fight your way through.
Thanks for not being a bigger ass than I was. Says a lot about the kind of guy you are.
