I hear you on the point @moeknows. The other factor is that if you have a bot army downvoting from several accounts it will likely have the same net result with a large quantity of flags coming from several different users. But if you restrict the growth in self voting these leviathan bot armies start to halve themselves in power if they are not purchasing additional Steem in the meantime with a 100% additional cost in voting power they eventually render themselves less and less relevant over time while others that pursue what they want continue to grow in the meantime. I don't understand why you would need a flagging dynamic unless you specifically want to limit the growth or implementation of a user or a user group, again based on stake size. Unless you really feel the need to really hammer someone for bad conduct or a just a terrible post in your opinion, which I am all for keeping in play, just limiting malcontents that are accounts geared solely for the destruction of other people on a habitual basis. If this is what that user wants by all means go for it, but it will have an opportunity cost of growth on the platform is the main point I guess I am trying to get at of course. Thanks a ton for commenting @moeknows I appreciate your reading and discussing the topic and the thoughtful response.
