What "interest group" are you referring to, and how do you know that it's not individual users with a legitimate good faith disagreement?

> "All flagged stories are flagged by users that are part of an interest group."

False. I occasionally flag items, never as part of nor acting on behalf of any particular interest group.

It’s the classic “everyone who disagrees with me is a bot or a shill”.

Yes; the group of people who have an interest in the submission guidelines being upheld.

> All flagged stories are flagged by users that are part of an interest group.

Read the comments. People were actually reading the topic and calling it out. This gets topics flagged.

It’s not coordinated interest groups conspiring to remove stories.

> Give me a break, Mr. "nothing to see here".

Okay, Mr. “I just created an alt account for this comment”
