RE: Free Downvotes Are Comming
I don't think people refrain from downvoting because it "costs" something.
Most accounts downvotes hold no water against a bid bots.
And there is the real possibility of retaliatory downvotes - that really hurt.
"Free" downvotes don't address that.
We need to at least be able to pool/delegate downvotes in order to achieve anything measurable.

Honestly I think this is true. I'd gladly delegate the downvote stake that @pifc has as it's a community account and retaliatory flags can hurt the community as a whole since we use the rewards to pay for leases and prizes. We barely cover the costs of the everything as it is and that is with donations from community members for most of our prizes. The loss of a couple weeks of rewards (or more) due to someone taking exception to a flag could mean the end of what we are doing.
That said our VP will not be used for flags except for plagiarism just as it has been since the account was started. Will be nice to do that without cost, but it won't change our flagging practices.
