Not the first time I find myself wishing there was some explanation about the flagging.

The explanation is basically always the same: users flagged it.

Why? Who can say? One would have to ask them, and that wouldn't work anyhow.

Well you could have a dropdown with reasons when flagging, and hope that people select the real reason they are flagging it.

When you say "hope", I think you're touching on the problem, which is that they wouldn't.
