I've occasionally noticed some sketchy article flagging in the new submissions feed. (A recent article explaining how to add snow animations to HTML pages comes to mind.)

I like to think that dang's days consist of monocle and tophat shopping, sabotaging the metric system, and propping up the global media conspiracy.

However, I suspect the root cause is more mundane: Some small percentage of users treat "flag article" like the downvote button.

On mobile, I accidentally hit flag quite often trying to tap the link of the article below it. I do go back every time and unflag, but I can imagine not everyone would.
