Useful (and reassuring) answer by a staff member about measures to avoid abuse of the flagging feature --> Here

Summary: people who flag excessively without good reason will be ignored by the abuse team.

Also (later in the subthread): only accounts registered for over a month may flag, and even then it's limited to five every twenty four hours.

Still reading the Tv Tropes Wiki between bouts of translation and wailing about the WiR... (Warning: the stuff is addictive.)

"While Sailor Moon's rather infamous Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune were changed from being Schoolgirl Lesbians to being "cousins," the edits didn't extend to any of the original visual innuendo -- making them incestuous lesbians, which is hardly new to anime but probably wasn't their intention."
(From the entry "Bowdlerise")


[1] In fact, I haven't had a TV for 20 years (and very rarely watched it elsewhere for the same period). I'm wondering if I'm so fascinated by this site despite, or because of this :-)
