Can't agree more. As always, the problem seems to be with the interpretation of flags. People feel entitled to the reward that they have received prior to payout. They need to remember that it is always "potential payout". I did consider some kind of flag anonymisation service, but that then removes the flagging power from the reward pool and make it require some kind of liquid donation to a third party service. If you can remove the fear of flagging, maybe it will become seen as a normal part of the reward generation process.

You can delegate to one of the accounts that does flag. If enough people do that then it's harder to retaliate.
Can they determine how you want your flag to be placed though? I dont want to delegate to something that generically flags stuff that i might not thing worthy of a flag. I'd want to specifically flag a post through what effectively amounts to a proxy for that flagging. Also, i guess the flagging power of these services would drop pretty quickly, especially if they start hitting some of the bigger investors with their flags.
You have to trust them on how they use it, but you can track that via steemd. You can just as easily withdraw your delegation if you disagree.
I did this with some that flagged a certain Mr H who has been abusing the system for ages. I did flag him directly and got some retaliation.
