Yes, the flag option is apparently there to highlight people who are deliberately scamming the system.
For example: a vegan recipe using the tag #bitcoin is an example or hardcore porn without the NSFW tag. I still disagree with flagging though and think a decentralised platform should run without the flags.
Thanks for your comment
