That might even cause more of a tug of war, tbh...I don&#x27;t feel transparency would really help in these cases, though I say that only because in my anecdotal survivor-bias-affected short-term memory, just as many controversial social issues posts are allowed to stay up on top as are flagkilled. And I don&#x27;t think there&#x27;s an &quot;ideal&quot; balance, in that everyone has a different ideal balance.<p>But anything that makes it obvious that a flamewar is going on would just exacerbate it. Seems to be the case with Reddit. For me, my own &quot;flag&quot; is if a post has as many comments as upvotes...in fact, I assumed that this was something that would auto-downmod a front page submission.
