RE: Steem experiment: Burn post #6
Flagging, to return the steem to the reward pool. This has been an interesting discussion and my flag is for the idea, not the Author.

Then there is a fundamental problem with flagging affecting reputation. I have come to see the numeric reputation scores on this platform as easily manipulated. I wouldn't mind seeing people buy digital goods with their easily earned Steem Dollars on https://www.steemfiles.com rather than dumping it into fiat. There you can buy books, music and pictures.
This is usually not a problem unless the post/comment is driven down below zero. With small downvotes, and greater upvotes, the rep still increases, just less than it would otherwise.
In that case, I guess I'll flag these. A dime's worth won't get this down to zero.
Yes please do. I have no personal stake in these and would prefer that as many stakeholders views as possible are represented.
It is sometimes a bad thing that flagging can hurt REP. I have no desire to hurt Smooth's rep nor do I think I will do him much damage. I am using the flag in this case only to turn the funds to the reward pool. It is just an imperfect tool.
