That's a relief. I made a commentt on the page where it was discussed. I had been hoping to see flagging reduced, maybe even costing more, so it caught me by surprise. I've lost a number of 'friends' who no longer are using their accounts, more who talk of leaving, and as I said in my comment to them, it does not matter whether they are right or wrong, with income for all being so disheartening, what matters and will have the strongest effect is how such a change will be perceived.

Instead, ways for making it more rewarding to those who make good posts would do much more to giving Steemit a good name and strengthening the demand for the SP.
