Is the current system having flags going to make any difference? Let's see if it could actually turn this thing into a system that makes me and many others believe in it. Let's see if this system doesn't really get manipulated by those big parties who were believed to be the "most right people" of this forum who abused their power and made the forum a centralized place at first look.
Given that theymos is offering the opportunity to be blacklisted from DT to those that abuse flags, this is more along the lines of the old system. Although we have a larger spread of users from the changed DT-election algorithm, when it comes to flags, theymos moderates abusive DT behavior therein.
