If the curve is altered to the one Taraz mentioned yesterday, the bigger the potential payout, the more impact a flag will have, and so even a small account could have an impact on a large payout. I have no idea with regards to the math though.
There is discussion of cheaper flags, so maybe a couple of free ones each day that don't reduce VP - again, I've seen nothing concrete and just passing on rumors.
The flag would reduce the payout, and so author, curators, beneficiaries etc would all lose a %.
I think the best time to disagree would be when the post had topped out rewards-wise.
This is what I understand and it could all be a load of tosh :)
im talking about now not with the new curve idea, thinking of flagging some soon,
Oh right. Well at present your flag will reduce $2 from the total and use the same of VP as a vote of the same % would.
This is the frustration of a post blown up with all the bots - you'd need 10's of millions of SP to take the damn thing out of trending.
hmm might start doing it anyway, once my last post gets past 7 days lol
lol
And this is the other issue, retaliation. It's an important time for Steem, stuff needs to change for the better or else it could get very quiet here.....
