Why flag a post?


Just interested, being here on the forums for almost twenty years I have never flagged a post. The function must be there for a reason though. We are all different. Are some just more easily offended, or more sensitive to the, at times, course ebb and flow of the forums?

I'm a mod on a non audio related board.We do have lives and can't spend every waking moment keeping track of threads.We appreciate a heads up for spam posts so they can be blocked.Heated debates are welcome and informative.Childish personal attacks and slander ruin the OP's thread,are against the rules,and should be flagged.But they usually aren't because so many find them entertaining.
@jtcf 

Unfortunately most heated debates just end up spiralling down into the childish personal attacks and slander category.
Too many cannot handle their views or opinions being countered as not being the absolute be all and end all of all things audio.

Cleeds, I don’t have a complaint with any contributors here, perhaps you did not read my OP. I don’t flag posts, that apparently is your job. I was merely pointing out my opinion that you are causing the mods work. "

I have said it before and I will say it again cleeds is like an oozing infected boil inflicted upon upon this website not unlike a filthy,bleeding hemorroid that requires a surgical intervention and the moderators should delete his presence hear in the site and forbid his future contributions he has shown a desire, plan, and willingness to limit, restrict, and obstruct meaningful conversation and he is obviously deluded into believing and acting upon the conviction that he has the responsibility, authority, and power to establish, determine, and define the content contain herein and I congratulate viridian for calling attention to this.
