Viewing a response to: @whatsup/regarding-flags-vs-downvotes
Well, I am for Downvote ONLY if it will NOT work in the same way a flags currently do. That is, reducing users reputation to oblivion hence resulting in their content being hidden. That's censorship, and it doesn't make us any better than the centralized main stream media we are all trying to run away from. I Say **Replace Flags with Report,** for content that is inappropriate and deserves to be removed from the platform. Of Course that would mean having moderators on the other end to review this said reports. **Downvotes Should Only Affect the Rewards , Not the Reputation.**

We are not talking about changing the functionality of the blockchain. It works how it works. We are talking about how it displays on one site... SteemIt.com. So, it is a matter of what is displayed not how it functions. Rep is also just a display issue, but I do agree it matters.

Heck, then it doesn't matter how it displays, they might as well put a **poop emoji** and get on with it. Aaargh Seriously though, the functionality is what we need to be addressing before we can even think about the display! We shall revisit this topic come 2022!

Actually, the rep never goes on the blockchain at all. It is just a number on the display, it doesn't do anything. It's hard to get your head around which is which.
