No, its not a good reason at all. If something was unfairly flagged, it should be reported. A lot of times, things are flagged because they are derogatory, or offensive, with dramatic undertones. Anything inappropriate will be removed. Including some of my best links...
-
No it is not and it will never be right. That is what happens to me all the time. I am absolutely against flagging or down rating unless questions or answers are absolutely out of place, racist, discriminatory, insulting or referring to another user by name.

No..
-
A mere dislike no, but there are those who are a bit more unhinged than others. Btw, shouldn't it be legitimate and not ligament? :)
-
nope.. they should only be flagged if they are offensive, having a go at someone or racist..
-
Not at all, although some are consistently rude and obnoxious, so they get it a lot.
-
Unless they are actually breaking some rules, then no. That's so totally immature, and disgusts me more than downrating ever will. And I'm pretty sure people here do this all the time. I hate having one of my questions flagged to see another version of it appear two minutes later, and nothing happens to it, and don't anyone even try to tell me all them moderation vultures didn't notice it, bleh.

Valid reasons to flag any users questions/answers are if they are: Spam Nonsense Offensive Keep in mind that offensive, and to some degree nonsense, is subjective. What may be offensive to one user is not to another user. That is why there are moderators to check flags before they are approved (moderators and CLs are not one in the same). If a question/answer is just flat out inappropriate it will also be flagged. I think most of us can agree that saying something negative, implied or direct, about another user is inappropriate. If you can't say something nice, don't say it at all. And let's be honest, if you had asked this question and laid all the facts out truthfully you might have mentioned that the answers being flagged were negative and directed at another user which is an entirely different story than somebody "not liking" you. Personally, if I don't like somebody or get along with them I do not answer their congratulations questions. Self-filtering is a beautiful thing and all of us have the ability to do that. You are entitled to your opinion, but how you choose to express it leaves little to be desired. You gripe about the CLs, the Staff, and other users with the expectation that it's OK to do so because that is your opinion. It's fine within reason, but when you start pointing fingers at specific people, answering congratulatory questions negatively, and asking targeted questions, it isn't OK. And that is PB worthy behavior. I'm sorry if this is not the answer you were looking for or if I've hurt your feelings in any way, but it had to be said. This answer does not just apply to you, it should give everyone pause to think about how positive or negative their interaction with others is here on AB. Hopefully, if they find it is mostly negative they will make a decision to be more positive and contribute to the AB community rather than bring it down with negativity.

I dont belive it to be a good reason although some people make it a good reason in their sad lifes.
