I have however seen it used for good when the community came together to down vote an obvious scam. I think most people learn pretty quickly, NOT to get into a flagging war because it can be costly. It is an option of last resort.As @arthur-schopen pointed out, there is already a "dislike" button - the flag. Flagging can be abused as he mentions. But what is not often discussed, is that you also have to use your voting power to flag/down vote an article.
