RE: Let's Talk Flags With @ScottCBusiness
Even the idea of reputation-based flagging can still be abused. I think aside from not harming your reputation, flagging should be based on number of downvotes rather than SP. Some whales just go around downvoting people for not agreeing with their point of view. Very childish behaviour. Some even brag and taunt people openly.
If 200 people downvote your post because it's racist or abusive, it's a better indication of bad content than one person cancelling all your rewards out of spite.
Exactly 100% I think at the very least make downvotes more representational to what people actually feel. You make a great point that 200 downvotes would make a lot more sense to tell something was wrong. Also there should be a difference between thinking it's earned too many rewards and lowering their rep because they've abused in some way.
