First of all, I just want to say that I love you @timcliff You are definitely in my top 5 favorite witness list because you are so very community focused. I completely understand the experiment. I understand the need to do such things. And after reading the comments (on several posts including this one) about it, we all know that communication was severely lacking. I wonder how hard it would have been to put a red banner at the top of the page stating that we are experimenting and neutralizing flags may be in effect. This would at least give everyone an opportunity to say screw it, I'm posting anyway / I'll stick to curating / I'll see you when the red banner disappears. I can deal with red banner days. As I mentioned on @abit's post - I'll fall on a few flags if it's going to help the platform -- but I'd like to know ahead of time. It's just an idea.

It's a good suggestion. Unfortunately we can't really put something up on Steemit's website for a community run experiment. If the communication had been better handled to start with, it probably would have gone a lot smoother. Since it's already done/started, the best we can do now is to try and get the word out. What's unfortunate is that the dolphins and minnows probably really would have enjoyed this experiment if there wasn't all the negativity surrounding the flags. Hopefully we can get past that and enjoy the party :)

Well, you already know how I feel about flags. I have noticed my upvotes being worth more and that's fun to see the earnings jump more than usual. I'm concerned about the negative impact on the psyche. It's one thing to go willingly into the lion's cage. It's a completely different mindset when you feel like you've unintentionally fallen in a trap. I'm kind of scoping the feed to see who's freaking out and trying to keep them engaged.
