The flagging mechanism, as it exists, feels a little… cowardly (?) to me.

What if, instead of the existing mechanism, we posted in the comments, "Please Flag", and follow that with our rationale.

Mods could "read the room" (so to speak) and flag the article. You might still argue as to whether an article should have been flagged but at least the receipts exist to show why the mods acted.
