That's why it will get flagged. Bother & damnation.

I cannot state enough how strongly I think people should have some accountability at least to their flagging. This ability to remain an Anonymous Coward while suppressing such vital stories at the heart of this world and it's tensions is exceedingly fallen.

At a minimum there ought be a system to out the flaggers. My gut says flagging should be a public action, period.
