RE: Downvote Pool Deep Dive
Moving the goalposts, you wanted to know how it would help and look, someone who offered the scenario clearly. As for your new argument, everyone defines quality. Your premise is that everyone will act like a Flag troll bot. Tell me, when in the last 3 years have you ever seen everyone act in unison on anything, and do you remember the Whale Experiment when people actually did act in unity AND used downvoting for Months with the encouragement of the community to continue it far after the experiment was to be concluded... Or do you suffer from selective memory that simply acts to confirm your bias that because of your internal dilemma of "por que, quality" relegates an entire function to what is otherwise a marginal use of it, and so you forget that flagging has been probably the most important revitalization the platform has ever known?

You keep bringing up the "whale experiment" like it was the same thing. It was nothing like what is being proposed here. The whale experiment was a couple of whales that set up to auto downvote (negate) any votes that were over X amount of vests. All they did was put a cap on influence. It couldn't last because eventually people split their stake into different accounts to stay under that max threshold. Completely different than what is being proposed now.
No not like it is the same thing at all, only to point out that flagging has been used and is still used for the betterment of the network. Your strawman that I argued at all like it's the same thing does nothing. You asked what the benefits were, and when given the obvious would be benefits you moved the goalposts, you argue that "quality shmality", well tough titties bro but since you have nothing to retort as to the benefits then move along. You keep wanting to make it seem that flagging, 95% as you so valiantly pulled out of thin air, is "personal" and that all of a sudden because people have some free flags they will turn on each other as if they lost all senses. No, you're ENORMOUSLY mistaken, Flagging is vastly used not for personal attacks but for policing the network. There is literally One Rouge whale, @berniesanders, who flags wanton but it's negligible at best.

Stop literally expecting people to act without reason or sense and completely vicious, vindictive and predatory, and stop painting thousands of people with the same brush that is worthy of the two resident faggots, FULLTIMEFAG and IhavenofriendspleaseacceptmeSanders.
