People I think were overreacting to some posts and giving flags when they weren't called for. Also one new forum member went around flagging random people (I got an abuse flag).
The earlier incarnation of the forum also had a Disagree button, next to Agree. Of course, heated discussions started over people Disagreeing things without explaining why, flaming erupted, etc. Feature was dropped.
Flagging for abuse was even worse, since some people just reported every post they disagreed with or considered slightly offensive as Abuse. Nowadays, it's safer to summon Dee instead, to lay his wrath down upon the unbelievers.

they could have just blocked abusers from reporting people
speaking of, I can't seem to find the forum rules anywhere. 99% of forums have the same set of rules, but occasionally there is a forum that deviates from the norm.
