RE: If You Accept the Upvotes, You Really Need to Accept the Downvotes

in #steemit7 years ago

Well, it's not like there's a good Wiki for Steemit, or anything like that, so it's not really your fault. But yeah, the flag is basically a reverse downvote: if your upvote adds $1, a flag takes away $1.

The amount taken away from that post is then returned to the reward pool, and allocated among other posts that are pending. :)
