This is a good point. It happened to me for one of my very occasional HN posts, in which I presented our startup idea to HN for feedback. It was flagged for no apparent reasons while on front page top, and this impaired quite a lot its visibility. I'm not implying there were any deliberate malicious attempts, or organized obscure interests, behind flagging it, but as of today, I can't understand why it was. It would perhaps be useful to include a mandatory short motivation whenever you are flagging a post, which may be automatically delivered to authors' HN profile, so that they may be able to more easily understand the reasons behind the report.
