"Off-topic" flagging on this forum

@tiwane Overnight, yet another flag, this time on a thread that you had already closed. The notification says inappropriate (a wonderfully open-ended and vague category!) and “staff notified”. Here’s the thing, the flagged post was directed at @charlie , who had already replied to it (some days ago now), and not flagged it himself. You yourself had presumably given the thread a quick read over before closing it, and you didn’t say anything about my post. So what the heck is going on here? I’ll tell you what is going on here: some person or persons acting together are using flagging as a political weapon! I’ve seen this “mob rule” before in other forums. It is ugly.
