RE: Poll: Flags or Downvotes?

No.

A down vote has a much much more "... negative moral or legal judgment about the content." than a flag. A flag is simply a means to indicate there may be issues with a post. A Down vote is a definite moral judgement made by an individual about a post worthiness.

I've heard more that flags seem more threatening than downvotes.
Downvotes are just pointing out that someone doesn't like the post of yours.
Flagging can be seen as some kind of marking the content as something harmful.
