What if we were to only allow the down vote to be unlocked IF first a flag system was implemented. This would serve to warn the post creator that somethings not right and also table those flags for review by the community at large in a central location. We would then be able to see and query who decided to flag the content, how many people flagged it, and why they flagged it.

I don't think this is bad idea. But we already have something similar via HW before spaminator is doing anything.

Even though we can downvote before the flag is in.

Who would look at all the daily post submitted?
