Haejin isn't doing anything wrong though, and he has attracted followers through his own merit. I signed up on steemit just because i enjoyed haejins posting. He is actively drawing new members to the platform. Meanwhile the troll army is not playing by the rules. Flagging is intended for a single report, not to wash over an entire user, his postings and commenters.

I am totally new to steemit and have no idea how it works, but it seems there are flaws in the way it works. Negative trolls have too much influence. If haejin is taking too much from the pool and it is damaging the system, then that should be worked out on a platform-wide level so no one user gains too much influence. completely trashing his posts and attacking his commenters relentlessly is surely not the solution
