People flag things that generate flamewars and this topic has generated a bunch, beside having had some front page time in various guises and extensive 'discussions'. EDIT: 2 minutes later away from page 1 and completely flagged with removed title (still thinking it's user-side flagging?) I'm not sure what that means but things that drop off the fp and gain the [flagged] tag are just about always flagged by users. Flagged submissions lose rank through user flags long before they get tagged [flagged].
