I don't entirely understand the logic here, you're afraid your ability to use X will be taken away, so you choose not to use X altogether? Isn't that sort of self-defeating? Is it more of a concern about not being able to flag something when you feel very strongly it should be, the avoidance of feeling reprimanded by a community you care about, or something I haven't thought of? Edit: At the heart of it my question is essentially the same as masterzora's. Perhaps I phrased it poorly? I don't mean to be dismissive or rude, I'm just trying to understand the psychology behind this.
