If people are abusing the content flagging system, they shouldn’t be permitted to use that system, period. It is not a feature to play with as it wastes time and deters other community members from posting, even if what they posted was in accordance with the site guidelines. An official warning should be sent to the individuals who use the flagging system inappropriately, and if they continue their behavior even after moderator intervention of a warning, then restricting their accounts to trust level one (which disables flagging) would be appropriate, or an account suspension.
