Is flagging broken on the forums right now?

Hey, is the flagging system broken right now on the forums? I have noticed a few non-warcraft related threads popping up on the General Discussion forums where people are mentioning that flagging is not working.

I just attempted to flag the TC of the “Is the US heading towards a 2nd civil war?” only to have nothing happen. No “post has been flagged” or anything but the check box for the flag I attempted had vanished. I choose “It’s inappropriate” but it did not successfully flag and when clicking the flag button again the option is just gone.

However, when I reload the page the option returns and it shows that the post was never flagged.

I noticed people mentioning that Flags were not working in another thread, that is now closed, and was curious what is going on lately. The flag system is already heavily abused as is but now its also breaking in situations where it should be used?

What is going on with the flag system on these forums?
