RE: Flag spam. The opposite of what is needed.
Hmm I haven't really seen a lot of flag spamming (other than flags on plagiarised content and copy/paste or spam comments). The only thing I noticed was the flagging on noganoo on random people's posts lately, which is just one man and his army of bots (no good ofcourse). I have seen plenty of flagging lately, but as I said, it was on plagiarised content, which flagged quite a bit of aswell. I have also seen some flagging on copy/paste comments (though not enough), which I also do. Heck, I even flag short comments (like 'Nice'), when they are posted right after I release a blog, because no way they could have read my entire post within 10 seconds...
I'm happy people are using their flags more, because as far as I've seen, they are mostly used for good reason. The few mistakes are ofcourse unfortunate and I hope those can all be solved normally.
