I'm not so optimistic about the separate flag pool. I don't think it's much to ask to give up "curation" -- most of us suck at that anyway. If we aren't using flags now I don't think we would use it in the new system either. If we all just took 1 of our daily votes to flag something, I wonder what it would look like. Hmmmm....

well, it doesn't cost me very much to flag, and I do when I see things that I can effect. The issue is for users with a large stake, who could get as much as 20sbd in curation, they have to give that up in order to flag, and those are the users who can really make a difference, but end up responding with spammy selfvoting as a result.
I think that reinforces the point though. If they can't be trusted with their stake not to spam, I don't think they can be trusted to flag responsibly either with an entirely separate pool.
I think the issue is they feel they are missing out on curation, and are trying to make up for it. I think if there was a separate flagging pool we might see a lot more flagging to a positive effect.
