If flag enabling is based on a threshold test, cannot un-flagging also be enabled based on a threshold test?


I'm afraid I don't understand the question. Can you explain a bit further?


Your response to the prior implied flagging is based on a deliberate choice of karma, to widen the gate on who can flag.

I was asking if there is not an inverse function, which would be a higher karma unflag operation, on the assumption people who flag up are being somewhat incautious and a smaller set of people could say "no, this is worth seeing"

I have no problem with flagging per se, or with my own ability to see flagged content.


There's no specific unflag feature, but upvoting has an inverse effect on flags.
