Nice idea....... To be honest, I'm not really seeing the point of the flagging system myself and believe it should be removed completely as it appears to have no real utility. Any utility it could have also seems to be contained within the down voting mechanism. Flagging is generally used by sites to alert moderators of some form of personal abuse or abuse of the rules/guidelines. As this site is essentially crowd or self moderated in a way without moderators, I'm not really grasping the point of it and it seems mainly to be abused as a form of trolling. I understand that whales can down vote stuff disproportionately to the average user, but this should diminish over time I would think.

Yup. Well let's see if we can get this idea off the ground as a way of 'flagging' posts, both good and bad.
i think it's also a lot more fun than just hitting a flag button.
