I think the policy of flagging without providing an explanation is becoming a problem on contentious issues. It allows a minority to have disproportionate influence on a discussion.

I think there are several conflicting ideas of flagging:

- Reason: I'm tired of this topic (I feel like this doesn't happen much, or else all this bitcoin talk would have stopped 3 years ago, as well as "Building X in language Y").

- Reason: I think this piece is non-factual and doesn't present any falsifiable claims.

- Reason: I think this piece is demonstrably inaccurate

- Reason: I think this is a controversial topic

I think controversy is an indication of the importance of a topic.
