Yeah, I have found the same in my profile. This has been discussed recently in various posts. That's why the flagged link is in the profile now.

There is a major temporal component to posts, comments, and flagging. I am not sure what good comes from unflagging my mistakenly flagged items when they are usually at least days old by the time I notice.

Considering the gravity of that particular mechanic, I would argue that something along the lines of the "are you sure?" prompt used in the delete action would be really helpful.



I just learned about this from this thread. Checked and I also had some accidental flags. Oops.


Looks like I've got a bunch too, including several posts that I'd actually upvoted.

Related issue: it's too easy to accidentally mix up the upvote and downvote actions, because the buttons are close together and the visual feedback after the fact is pretty subtle. This is particularly bad on mobile.
