I am really concerned about anyone getting flagged for being naive or ignorant. Mostly done by newbies. While I don't know the reasons they posted such comments but if it is because they were taught wrongly or they thought it is alright to do so. Pay attention! When commenting on posts... NO-NO-NO to these words 'FOLLOW ME or UPVOTE ME!'. I am writing this to generate an awareness among newbies and I really hope you can understand the seriousness of this issue. Trust me it is for your own good.

You can see a sample damage on the snapshot above. I took this from @aggroed's post today. The whales, they are very strict about this, so you must know and avoid being blacklisted by them. You definitely need their support here.
A Flagging Hard Lesson
It is damaging to be flagged on Steemit and especially for this minor mistake. Plus getting unnecessary attention and negative publicity for commenting wrongly to the Wales which can be seen by thousands of fellow steemians. Oops!

Working Smart vs Working Hard
We all work hard here and getting flags mean reducing your reputation level and earnings. At worst you will feel demotivated and will leave this platform which will be your lost in the end. The best way to get more followers is to keep on posting good contents. Other than that you will attract followers by leaving good comments related to the posts that you are commenting. It is a two-way thingy. A win-win situation for all.
Me
I am different as I don't mind returning the favour of following back anyone who follows me. But if you unfollow me, I will also unfollow you. This is my rules. I use this tool created by @shaunmza to check https://steem.makerwannabe.com/

There is no shortcut to success, only by being perseverance will help you to reach your good destiny. And of course, a charming attitude to follow you as well.
Always Check Your Voting Power
Always remember to check your voting power here https://www.steemnow.com/. Do not vote for a while if you are under 90! Even for me, this is actually very tough to follow because there are so many good quality posts I read, but it is advisable to do that okay.
Again remember! When commenting on posts... NO-NO-NO to these words 'FOLLOW ME or UPVOTE ME!'.
Stay Safe! Steem On! Yours truly, ainie
