But unfortunately that could lead to a chilling effect on flagging deserving content. I like having dang and other moderators involved as the final say to reverse a decision if it's necessary. I am pretty conservative with my own flagging and vouching (I've vouched precisely once and it was a comment I strongly disagreed with but was clearly made in good faith and added to the discussion) and I believe that other folks are as well. Since the system mostly works and since social media upvoting algorithms are so insanely complicated to balance well I think it's fair to avoid rocking the boat.

I don’t think so. I’d still be able to flag, just my flags would count for less. And not make that discount visible to me.

Wait, flags are only meant to be used for bad things? I've been using them for “title is bad, pls change” requests. (Oops.)

Fortunately you can see everything you've flagged at /flagged?id=username; I corrected my flagging.
