>The world would be a better place if flagging or downvoting required a comment.

This is a comment sentiment

But is absolutely 100% wrong ... unless your only goal is to eliminate downvotes

If 2-3 people decide that this warrenm fellow needs to be pushed out of the website for whatever reason they currently can coordinate and start flagging your posts left and right at every opportunity until you are effectively banned.

It will turn into reddit. Groups will start raiding each other over politics. Coordinated upvotes are not allowed, I don't see why grudge/group flagging should be.

If 2-3 people have enough clout they can get me "effectively banned" ... meh

This is a website that offers fake internet points to its users

I can create a new user (if I really wanted to) in a few seconds

You really are hung up on these fake internet points ... and I do not understand why

(also, per your link to the HN guidelines " Please don't post comments saying that HN is turning into Reddit. It's a semi-noob illusion, as old as the hills.")
