My two cents:
Yes, it is unfortunate that flags drain the same resource pool that could otherwise earn and give rewards, but bots will be built to game any system you build.
Right now, one of the biggest problems is bid bots distorting curation. Do we want it to be that simple for people to buy whale flags against other people that are effectively free? How would your proposal be abuse-resistant?
Also, if Steemit is officially no longer in beta, please don't propose using the entire system as an experiment again. It feels reckless.
Agreed. I thought we were no longer in BETA?! This screams of beta testing.
Beta was for the condenser. We will never stop hardforking, we will always be in a state of finding perfect, as it should be, onwards and upwards.

It would be a simple matter of how many bad actors there are Vs good actors. This won't empower one over the other so it's irrelevant really for it to be abuse resistant as abuse resistance is solely in that ratio. If this platform is, overrun with bad actors that will be the end of it, fortunately it's quite the opposite, there is literally only @berniesanders that can be considered a bad actor through and through, even the fag @fulltimefag has redemptive qualities, fuck that, even that loser @nextgencrypto did some good reward distribution in the past. I don't know why everyone is trying to say thata few free flag will turn otherwise caring and concerned people into abrasive assholes with a hatchet in their mouth and ever ready to dish out their free flags for the tiniest of reasons. Trolls will troll, and people will continue to be faster, stronger and better trollminators, and hopefully the trolls can keep up.
