I proposed this two months ago:
Remove the flag button and add a downvote button

I hope this will be added to the main site soon.

I have to agree with this idea and the above post. I wrote a comment the other day about it, but it seems that people feel emotionally attacked when they are flagged, and that is the cause for some of these flag wars.
In reality though, the flagging isn't a personal grudge (not normally anyway), but rather because someone wants to redistribute payouts, or because the content isn't beneficial to the platform. However, people tend to take this personally instead of realizing the true reason for it.
