You are a very new user and may not know how the site works with regards to downvoting and karma. There are links to follow but the short faq is that regular users get access to downvotes and flags, and thus older users often will flag kill topics that they think will only be a flame war.

- ahbyb 7y agoI am not a very new user, in fact by looking at your profile I have been here for much longer than you. Older/active users are predominantly left-wing and use their flag power to flag right-wing points of view, because they deem them as trolling (charitable point of view) or because they want to silence them (uncharitable point of view). Then, mods come and ban those who amass many flags because someone who's got many flags is irredeemably a troll.
