Or we can just mass flag them back, imagine if even half the people from this "minnow support" project retaliate and flag the troll back, we can wipe them from existence too. Since the voting power has been linearized, we can still inflict significant damage with ~1000 sp, imagine 100 flags (yes, that's a bit far fetched at the moment, but all it takes is some cooperation and awareness). I'm guessing even if the number of flags won't be enough to wipe out payout to 0, it can still destroy a whale's reputation

This is true but then you inflame things. Do we really want a flag war?

How else will one prevent harassment of minnows?

Don't forget if the flagging is reasonable, it's not a "flag war". Even some whales might join in if it means prevention of SP abuse

That is a hope but for now it might be best to keep a low profile, don't invite such a situation

Sure. Fully appreciate your efforts here though
