I think we could work out at least a financial incentive with SFR on flags against abuse at least but retaliation is a valid concern. 🤔

You pre-empted my next question as I was going to ask you anyway! So please, why is it harder to implement than an upvote? Just the maths or more complex coding reasons ?

not a technical challenge but in practice, what happens if I pay the bot owner to flag a whale? The whale will strike back. Same thing with orcas, dolphins, etc.

That's possible but I would have hoped that wouldn't happen to the bot owners as many of them are big bot users anyway and a ban would stop that.....I would bring a whole new dynamic to Steem and for us little fellas, might be fun to watch ;-)
