People need to use the “vouch” to cancel the flag.

As I understand it, vouch works on dead submissions and comments: it doesn't negate or offset flags.

Contacting the mods (use the contact link in the footer) and asking them to review can be effective.

You know, I think you’re correct.

Is there anything that offsets a flag? Does a single flag click create the flag label, or does it take several clicks?

It seems unfair that a single person could trigger an unremovable flag label.
