Real flags can be introduced once the entire community and platform has matured, so that we actually know how it would best be used and limited.
This point couldn't be hammered more, whoever decided to change the wording to the flagging system and paint it like you and others have always used it: A FUCKING DOWNVOTE, and a very powerfully influential one like smooth has pointed out, clearly ABUSIVE, and put that and equate that to "hate speech, internet trolling, and SPAM" GTFO bro, spam? internet trolling? what the fuck do I say about hate speech..
Can we change the fucking icon, remove the bullshit "trolling, and BAD behavior" language, as people can understand what a fucking downvote is, that is not to say to mystify it some other way but inform people with MORE than the bullshit that it is now
"can remove rewards and make this material less visible."
and be truthful "WILL REMOVE REWARDS BASED ON BLHA BLAH" , and introduce the real discussion: is this an 18+ website or a 13+ website. make up your mind.
While I'd be hesitant to use the likely percieved by many as agressive language you just used, simply because of how it typically have ended up making the conversation into the tiring defensive/offensive back and forth rant that we've seen for so long already, I tend to agree with your overall position.
Thank you for publicly backing the position quoted.
