The Next Xploit

So this is just crazy and something needs to be fixed before some does this.
You might be saying to yourself, why are you posting about it if you think it is a problem.
answer is no one listens unless enough people are saying the same thing so here you go.
you could be wicked or good with this knowledge.
I hope It is fixed before it becomes a problem.
So.

Ok right before some one gets a pay out, like 30 seconds.
Someone with a lot of steem power flags your post.
 Then right after the pay out time the flag is removed.

Unless the person checks steemd or something they prolly wouldn't notice and it would be killing their pay out.
:O
Does anyone else see that as something that could be abused?
It is worse then just flagging a post because you think it is paying out to much.

Does this work?  I think your vote is locked in once the post hits payout.

I'm pretty sure the flag gets locked in too.  Your vote, up or down, gets locked in when the payment does.  And if you remove the flag before the payout, then the payout will happen.

It's an easy experiment.  Find something you upvoted that has paid out.  Try to unvote it.  The system won't let you, that vote is locked in.
