Hello, I'm a Mod @steemflagrewards
I heard on a grapevine about your situation.
Although, I do not know your, or your associates, nor @clvr motivations,
this is what it look like from my "professional" perspective:
From Steemit FAQ section:
"What is considered spam or abuse?"
"- Posts that require upvotes to enter or play in a contest or game."
And while I am not affiliated with @clvr, normally I would agree with this kind of flag.
I am reaching out to you, because I believe that most people receiving flags did not intend to break any written or un-written rules, and can easily improve upon a well explained flag.
