[Condenser] Replace Flag Function With Downvote
AKA: Make Downvotes Great Again
Idea:
Change flags to downvotes and make them look and feel just like upvotes in an effort to remove the stigma around using downvotes.
Summary:
Recently I made a proposal of encouraging users to use the flag (downvote) function more often. The proposal suggested burning the downvoted rewards to null instead of redistributing to the STEEM reward pool.
Another way to make downvotes great again is to remove the stigma surrounding their use. Currently, downvotes are called flags. This causes a great deal of confusion for users because flags are usually associated with reporting abuse. Users should be a lot less conservative when it comes to downvoting useless, spammy, or abusive content.
In an effort to achieve this, I have made changes to remove the flag and change to downvote that functions the same way as the upvote function.
