Since the changes to guidelines for "flagging" here on steemit, I now treat it like a regular down vote. The icon and vote weight should be changed ASAP.

How can we expect to grow our userbase with normal or at least interesting people if only those that are complete steem geeks to search for all of these unwritten rules ever understand such a basic thing as downvoting/"flagging"?

To avoid some confusion, my profile now explains a bit how I vote. Other than that, I'm gonna start treating Steemit like a regular social media site (following the guidelines provided in the "flag" infobox), insofar as voting goes. Because that's how things will have to start working at some point anyhow.
