It’s got to be tough to figure out the best way to help the community support quality content. I do think it’s important to have a mechanism in place to allow the community to unsupport content that is a poor use of the platform. I certainly don’t have any answers about the best way. I’m sure you’re right that a flag and a downvote are basically the same thing. I guess I just fear people may use a downvote the way they might use a sad face on Facebook. It will be interesting!

It's most useful for spam control. Other than that, if I don't like it, it just doesn't get a vote.
I totally agree. That’s my approach too. Although I have yet to flag anyone. Can I see myself more freely downvoting spam? Yeah, I can. To @gmuxx’s point.
