I appreciate the reply. I'm a big supporter of people having absolute freedom to do as they like and I'm glad Steemit's policies support these values as well, and in saying that I can come to accept auto-voting.

It's a beautiful thing that Steemit's perspective as a community is to solve everything as a community. But what is Steemit to do if an army of bots constantly bombard specific users with flags within minutes of posting, hiding their content? What actions would be taken?
