Since the flag button seems to operate as a super downvote (and its UI is ostensibly "get the mods' attention" unless you know this) do you feel like the current system is useful? Should flag be a super downvote, or should it just get your attention? Is "both" useful? I resist clicking flag because I know how hard it hits a story, and based on what you're saying, it seems like people are pretty free with flagging (which might be affecting controversial stories inordinately). Not that you'd compare your UI to Reddit's, but: Reddit's "report" function gets the mods' attention but does not impact the submission, to my knowledge. Recently, to cull people reporting things they just don't like, there's now a modal that pops up when you click it to demand a reason.
