I lost my flagging rights without further notice when I thought I was flagging well, so be careful.

That would seem to confirm what I noted adjacent: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5528118

It's rumored that flagging something when the majority don't want it flagged will likely backfire.

It's interesting that the flagging rights would be removed instead of being ignored.

I thought the flagging system used a scale of importance based on the users history. If you show good history of flagging, your action is more important. Same goes if you show poor history of flagging.
