I had some problems in regards to the flagged image post #36288. What exactly is the copyright talechaser? There are both cosplay photos and drawings of a character under the tag, and in both cases they're linked to the same site and seemed to depict the same character. The argument that it is "not anime-related" seems rather dependent on what is the tailchaser tag. Going just on what is under the tag, I would get the impression that the person is cosplaying the character in the drawings which would mean it is anime-related and the argument for the flagging is invalid. It could very well be the reverse or something else, but there is no info on what tailchaser is. The thing is, the person who flagged this has only pulled up the reason "non anime-related" and there is nothing to back up the claim that the flagger is right.
I would not expect the image to be reapproved, but I am getting worried that some users are abusing arguments like "not anime-related" to flag material that they do not like and are not bothering to really delve into whether their reason for flagging is valid or not. As an example, post #1100232 was flagged some 10 minutes after its first approval for the reason "not anime-related," despite the fact that it very much is anime-related.
Some may argue what does it matter if this is anime-related or not as the image should not get approved anyway, but I personally feel that letting potentially bad justifications for a flagging slide simply fuels further misuse of that argument in flagging other images and rewards those users who use bad arguments to flag content. I really think it needs to go on a user's record when they use invalid reasons to flag an image. I'm sure a better justification for flagging post #36288 could have been used.
It probably would be nice as a janitor/mod that for an image that has been flagged that we could place a dissenting opinion if we believe that the reasoning for the initial flagging is bad, but that we do not agree that the image should be reapproved either.
