Thanks for making it easy on me but something doesn't seem right. When he started his thread on May 18th he said please support the flag with a link. I looked at it myself.

Just found this. He created the flag on the 18th, didn't wait 24 hours and hadn't deposited.

Hmm... TIL, BPIP flag log is [perhaps] the time a flag become active.

Nonetheless, even if he [hastily, as established and acknowledged by many] created the flag before depositing, I believe out of concern for the community, due to the signs that he encountered so far at that time, wasn't the important point is [as I said on my first post here on this thread] he withdrew it when he realized that his concern is unfounded?

He does not abuse the trust and flag system. Your negative though, does. The trust feedback is meant to be used to warn others about possible risk of scam; monetary lost and all. IIRC, Gazeta Bitcoin even tries to emphasize this point by referring it as "marketplace trust" whenever the needs arise instead of simple "trust", to indicate that it is meant to be used to help members learning who is trustworthy to be dealt with where money is involved.

I'll invite you to read LoyceV's guide to trust system, I'll snip to the parts that's relevant to this situation

Once you fully understand the system, it's important to start using it:

Did you do a trade in which you risked funds? Leave feedback!
Did you see users who left accurate Trust feedback on many accounts? Add them to your Trust list!

Anyone can leave feedback, and anyone can customize their Trust list!

Trust feedback
Trust feedback (Positive/Neutral/Negative) can be used to express your opinion about someone's trustworthiness. In other words: would you trust or have you trusted this user with your money?
[...]
Negative (shown as -1)

If you believe someone is a scammer, or someone is likely to scam, that deserves negative feedback. Please provide evidence.
If you really hate someone and he's a terrible troll, that does not deserve negative feedback.
