RE: Whales, please consider declining all comment rewards by default (in settings). 5 reasons to do that!

They ya go. Brought it down a bit. :)
What do you think we can do to change the stigma around downvotes and encourage more people to "spend" their voting power and value loss via no curation to flag more often? If I knew people wouldn't react negatively to a "disagreement over rewards" flag, I'd probably do it more often to ensure the rewards pool is used for more useful content (note, I didn't say valuable, but useful because some content is useful if it causes people to sign up, stay engaged, and especially invest in STEEM). When people respond negatively to a flag and then flag everything else that person who gave them the flag puts out, that's what prevents people from flagging more often.
