This is an amazing article my friend! Thank you for creating this! I have been on the receiving end of people flagging simply to be "those guys", it's not really fun and it can cripple a new user's account. There should be some way to make it so flagging is used for legitimate reasons, not over personal "beef" or because you find someone annoying, or whatever your excuse may be if it's not solely based on flagging spam or negative content.
At any rate, I thoroughly enjoyed this article!
