Hi @eonwarped, you may find this post from me useful in explaining how flags can help distribution of the reward pool and it explains why I feel more of us need to flag more and not let the "it's our SP, our vote" crowd get away with self voting trash. The same argument works the other way to, "it's our VP, our flags", we can flag any content we feel necessary if it is posted on OUR blockchain
