RE: Screw Malicious Flagging: 1 Flag Vs 130+ Votes
Or flagging / downvote should cost like on StackOverflow. If you downvote on StackOverflow both the person downvoting and the person being downvotes loose reputation.
As a result you only downvote if the post is so bad that your are prepared to pay the price of the downvote. It still happens because some postings are that bad.
not a bad idea, this is a creative solution to downvotes, even if they cost 10% it would mean something
