Previously someone with a lot of SP was randomly flagging for some reason. There is potential for someone to do damage, but it would be at the expense of their reputation if they care about that. We don't have any central moderation, so this is a risk, but the system is designed to deter it.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
I'm ignorant... Then is there a way to reduce an abuser's rep / flag effect if they leave no posts or comments for others to flag back?
I don't think you can, but if they wanted to actually earn from the account they either need to post or to have a lot more SP to earn from curation.
That's the thing, what if it were 1 mil SP, no posts, -100% flags?
@inphiknit it would be a great pump :D
In the current sittuation I'm not sure there is and I'm not sure there should be actually. It might be better that anyone can flag and get away with it if they want or provide more information if they want that.
I hear you. I'm not saying anything necessarily should be done either, it's just a curious situation...
