- Flags vs. Posts

For those of you that are new to Steemit, or even for those not so new, but are not aware that there is a flag war going on between two powerful whales. One whale, Hive account@haejin , is a newer account on Steemit when compared to other heavy whales. Yet haejin has taken Steemit by storm. He has accumulated more than 30,000 followers and has a Steemit Reputation score of 79, placing haejin in elite Steem company.

Haejin, unfortunately is accused of Steem RewardPoolRape. It is believed that Haejin has either another account or is in collaboration with another user to essentially reward Haejin's posts with as much STEEM as their accounts can muster. Haejin's blogs consist mostly of Elliot wave analysis of crypto-currencies and some stocks as well. Some claim that he has made them money with his postings and analysis, while others claim that throwing darts at a list of cryptos would work just as well as following haejin's trading analysis.

I don't really believe that Hive account@berniesanders ' gripe with haejin has anything to do with his postings or analysis, but rather how haejin conducts him or herself on Steemit. Neither haejin, nor his benefactor Hive account@ranchorelaxo , really help support anyone else on the Steemit network, but themselves. I believe that it is this act of avarice by these two accounts that has berniesanders claiming RewardPoolRape. Since Haejin has continued to pillage the Steem Reward Pool, berniesanders and crew are flagging ALL of haejin's posts.

Initially, when this war was declared and launched, many of haejin's post had their payouts decimated. Since then though, haejin has vowed to post even more. And while at first it seemed that berniesanders and crew where causing haejin severe reward loss, it now seems that it is more of a back and forth battle.

This flagging war might be more of a war of attrition, and might last a long time unless addressed by STEEMIT developers. For now the flagging continues while haejin and ranchorelaxo continue their assault on the STEEMIT Reward Pool.

Remember that the STEEMIT Reward Pool is a pool that ALL STEEMIANS share and are rewarded from. All Steemians should be Guardians of the STEEM Blockchain.

FULL STEEM AHEAD!

ps, if you check out haejin's account and look at his blog, scroll down to about 22 days ago, and you will see many of his post greyed out with $0 payout from the flagging. As you scroll up toward the present day, you will see that many of his posts were zeroed out, but then many have actually received payout. It goes back and forth.
