I actually had somebody doing that years ao, when I used to comment on articles in the local newspaper. They only allowed comments for two days, and it often took 24 hours or longer for somebody to review a "flagged" post. She didn't like my viewpoints so found that she could control any discussion by simply flagging my posts out of the conversation until it was closed. No doubt she was doing the same to others as well.DANGER that this could be used abusively by a member for anything they dont agree with.
