That's an interesting proposal.
If I read it correctly:
Directly adding a certain reward from your wallet in addition to the amount shown from the reward pool from upvotes but simplifying it with something like a TIP button.
It would be something that would add to the displayed reward payout but it would be protected from being flagged to death?
That gives the post some additional recognition and "authority" (for lack of a better term) even if someone chooses to downvote it.
Yes, that is exactly what I was fumbling around trying to recommend.
Not fumbling, you came up with an ingenious way to combat something that has become a problem.
I just dumbed it down. ;-)
