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
