I think the better conclusion would be, people need to make sure that what they flag actually IS spam, and not something debunking a scam or something like that. Because how do you debunk a scam or investigate it without talking about it?

On the other hand, if people don't flag spam or scams... then Steemit will end up looking like the junk folder of your e-mail. Which we definitely don't want.

Maybe changing up the title, or adding text explaining would help? Like "Why this is a scam!"

Not sure what your other posts looked like but... if there's no other info, and you're talking about a scam that people know is a scam... yeah, good chance people are going to flag it without even watching.
