Flagging posts (aka downvoting) is quickly becoming an important behavior on Steemit.

In the most notable downvoting to date, @berniesanders downvoted a @dollarvigalante post, knocking his payout down from over $2000 to $122. Bernie made a strong stance against fluff Steemit content, which has clearly been profitable content to date and a big part of the platform. His stance could play a big role in changing the direction of the content on here.

With flags such an important part of the experience now, why can't we see who flagged us? Currently, we can only easily see the number of flags in the top right corner of the post. The people who flag are nowhere to be found on the Steemit UI though, and the flag action doesn't show up on the blockchain via steemd either.

Do users have any way of finding out who downvotes posts? Is there a third-party service that tracks flags like Steem-o-graph tracks followers? If not, this needs to be built asap.
