I see a lot of upset users. Isn't there a sandbox for the whales to go play in ? I mean what a great way to destroy your user base specially with someone new comes aboard and gets nailed with a flag. When does this experiment end ?
I wrote a community encouragement post today, got 5 or more flags, killed the rep and payout, and I had a lot of time and thought into it but who cares, about encouraging content right that is then worth $1?
It was a failed experiment and these flags, with no start or end date, or announcement, are driving good people off here daily.
Hardly an experiment. It turned out to be a crony exercise in despotism.
Can you imagine being a waitress and all patrons have the ability to negate your tips? It's worse than socialism or even communism. It's almost totalitarianism. Posts show payout of over $30 get knocked back to a couple bucks. Some get creamed into the noseeum zone.

Nailed it @anotherjoe I read your other comments on this matter in other posts and couldn't agree more! flagging was not suppose to be used this way. It's theft.
Good questions. And I'm glad to see Berniesanders finally ended his participation in this "test".
Agreed!
