If your posts are constantly flagged for being off-topic or abusive by multiple people then perhaps it is time to reconsider your posting style.

There is a difference between posts automagically greyed out/hidden because they got flagged too much and deleted by ISDs for being inappropriate.

Closed due to ranting.

People abusing the flagging system will only hurt themselves in the long run, the more wrong flags you give the less weight your next ones will have.
