1/ In general: at their current 1% power settings, not as much, but you would know better.
It is largely the principle of the matter and like I was saying, in here and the comments..... and if not this account or abuse, then future ones.
2/ In specific: The flags will affect the new users just getting started more than other more established users but as I said, it is already enough of a challenge on here daily
3/ This kind of stuff gone unchecked creates barriers to onboarding and keeping people.
I submitted this pull request which will hide all the flags from posts/comments. It hasn't been put up onto the live site yet, but it is approved - so it should go up in the next release. Once this is live, the flags from @asshole will not really be noticeable unless they are actually causing the post/comment to be hidden due to a negative voting score.
[Edit] Hopefully @klye's box can counter the posts/comments getting hidden.
Had to reply here for nesting, but TY for your help as always TC.
Always appreciated.
I spent 10 mins of my time going thru and voting up everyone's comments to counter it, so what is my time worth an hour. I know what I would bill people as a consultant.
So there are lots of ways to count the costs here. Not just $ either as I have mentioned a few times.
Ha, you were just flagged for that too lol
So, Tim, any input here?
Is the flag actually causing stuff to get hidden?

Have a good night my man.
The complication of upvoting to keep comments visible is it affects voting power - maybe this is the next level of subtletly in the game.
I suspect that the community will find a counter to it soon.
