Did/does being involved in a flag war influence your motivation for creating content on Hive?

A flag war would imply I am flagging back. I am not, I am being flaged as well as anything else I upvote.

Any toughts on improving downvote system?

Seems to work pretty good, sure there are man children like @transisto who use it maliciously, but 90% of the time they are legimate. Most people don't even downvote.

What would improve it would be more people using them organically.
