I really think discussion platforms like HN need:

1) Remove upvotes/downvotes entirely. It does nothing for discussion except create groupthink and open itself to manipulation by unscrupulous actors.

2) Retain flagging access by long-time contributing accounts, but if you're found to flag something in bad faith, those privileges are revoked.

3) Flagging itself needs to be a public record so we can see exactly which accounts are doing so.
