What if we added a down vote button that shows the negative opinions, but does not remove the money people wished to contribute? Then the FLAG could remain as a way to report abuse. Down voting would not be stealing other people's money they chose to supply with a vote.
How about people who want to downvote just pretend they downvoted. It has the same result with far less code. ;)
Good idea
I liked your comment maybe you'd like one of my posts... [https://steemit.com/@joelinux]
LOL - there is that. It doesn't seem to work though. So we need to give them something shiny to click.
