How About Upvotes & Downvotes,then Replace Flags with Report? Report for inappropriate content that can be manually moderated by your team & taken down if need be? Either way, if Downvotes will still affect Reputation then there's no use, just same old shit just a different name. Flagging accounts to oblivion is in a way censorship cause it hides away the affected Account's content, Which is not fair, Which would make Steemite no better than mainstream media in that regard. Maybe downvotes should ONLY affect the rewards and not the Reputation.
Report: that really makes good sense. Downvoting is stealing. The poster has made an effort to create a post and when someone like a big whale dislikes hit, he can rob all the rewards, even if the poster has had hundreds of small rewards from small fish. There should come a voting power cap, like 1000 SP max. then there would no longer be whales and no need for greed.
