With the slider, it's a good reminder of the effect of the downvote. Separating the flag from a downvote would be helpful, IMO. Flag should be reserved for "report this article". Downvote is based on content.
I got downvoted in a comment once. I'm still sore.
Lol. I guess the flag symbol really has something to it... for me it's just a disagreement..
Yeah, and I can accept that. BUT, typically it doesn't. Steemit is basically asking everyone to agree that it doesn't mean the same here as it does just about everywhere else.
On one hand, I really don't care. But, on the other, it does seem like it could solve some problems to separate them.
