There is discussion about doing just that. What we have today is a downvote. Nothing will change with that, other than possibly calling it a downvote instead of a flag.
If/when downvoting is renamed to downvoting, then we could implement a new ‘flag’ feature. The implementation details of what this would do is TBD.
Would the details of the downvote change too? I don't think downvotes should obscure posts unless they are downvotes coming from flags. Meaning after a post has reached 0, it should not be able to be downvoted any more because there are no rewards to disagree with. Thanks for answering my post.
I don’t think that would change. If a downvote isn’t a flag, there is no reason for the voter to take away all the rewards. As long as the post has some potential payout, it will still be shown.
