I’m glad you wrote about this. IMO the huge problem with the flags on Steemit is that many users, especially new ones, don’t treat them as downvotes... they know the flags mostly from YT and FB where the purpose of flag is completely different. If we can have a downvote button and keep the flag only for serious violations I believe this can save us many conflicts. ;-)

I agree. I am very new and honestly was confused about the whole flagging issue until reading this. Flagging and downvoting should be separate. Or, at the very least, there needs to be a better explanation somewhere about what flagging is and why it is important to the community.
