I don’t recall from my testing, but does using Notify member\_name permit this? I’m thinking that doesn’t actually give them a flag associated to their profile. Only Off-Topic, Inappropriate and Spam actually result in flags accumulating.

The more I think about it and play with it, I believe neither Notify options result in a flag on the user’s account.
