I have some feedback and a question on this. dang has previously said that frivilous flagging will result in a user's flags being ignored. I agree one should not comment "I flagged" as this carries no information, but if they shouldn't say "I flagged because X," how will it be determined whether the flag is in good faith?
(feel free to detach subthread as not relevant to thread topic at hand)
[flagged]
If you flag, please don't also comment that you did.
