Thanks for the post @raycoms
you open with :

''People don't seem to get how downvotes work and see them as personal attacks against them or their content or even worse as an attempt of silencing or censoring them.'''

All too often Flags are most definitely  personal attacks and/or Censorship 

Are you unaware of ''The List'' composed by the @berniesanders / @themarkymark groups of accounts ?
Or the NSA styled Chain of Command they operate?

Claiming disagreement of rewards is pure bullshit imho and if it ever happens at all, it is a very, very small percentage of people use it for that.

I have been told by several people who have subjected themselves to this Chain of Command, that I am on ''The List'' not to receive any rewards at all. It obvious that my challenging of the @berniesander / @themarkymark groups of accounts is the reason. @themarkymark has taken the lead (I suspect that Justin's parole officer has put conditions of behavior which limit his behavior here) in attacking my accounts. This comment will receive a 1% flag if if gets upvoted a lot he will use other accounts at low levels, that way even after the cut off they can remove the low flag and increase the negative value removing all rewards.

These are the kind of problems we need to address. 
The answer is to change our top twenty witness selection from a Stake Based selection to 1 person one vote democratic process. Then we can change the rules to deal with this government intervention which I can only assume is designed to prevent mass adoption of Steem.
