Downvotes are necessary to fight abuse. While you can filter yourself by muting, that doesn't prevent the abuser from taking rewards out.
Also, there is no such thing as a "malicious flagger" (except if it's combined with an abuse of the reputation system). People have reasons that aren't necessarily obvious. A flag costs the flagger money too, she could have received curation rewards for upvoting something else instead.

Flaggin IS abuse, it prevents nothing other than free speech..
There most definitely are malicious flaggers...one calls himself the 'bad whale'. and does so out of spite. He just likes to hurt people.
I won't repeat what I wrote before, I explained why downvotes are necessary. Your claims are bullshit.
Bernie calling himself the "'OG' bad whale" is sarcasm, because dan called him like that once.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinon
No one is entitled to their own facts.
YOUR claims is bovine excretion. Flags are wrong.
Well, then argue. Just being against something is easy. Ever tried being constructive?
What's your suggestion on how to prevent rewards for spammers/plagiarizers/etc. if not by opposing upvotes?
what gives you the right to steal?
That accusation is so stupid, it's not worth to even think about how to reply.
