"Adding stickers of every character just to show up on every search"
Complaining about tagging the characters or something, I guess?

In all fairness, I don't think anyone searching for someone like say, Raiden, is *really* going to be interested in an image like this, but I think its benign enough to ignore unless the artist makes a habit of it.

That's not what flagging is for. If you don't want to see cameos like that you have ways to avoid it.

I agree that it is a misuse of the flagging function, I just see it as a mixture of them jumping the gun(since we have no evidence the artist is intentionally trying to be sneaky with tags) and sticking the complaint in the wrong area.

It's not like the artist uploaded that here themselves, there's nothing to complain about. No one's "trying to be sneaky."

Yeah unless the flagger is complaining about how the uploader tagged it, maybe they just think the artist uploaded the art. But most of the artist's clicks aren't gonna be from this site, which is the only one that has that many tags.

On Twitter, the artist only hashtagged Aether, and Pixiv has a tag limit of 10, but this art isn't there.

Is flagging an already an approved image considered flag vandalism?

You can't even flag pending or deleted posts, so what else would it be for if you couldn't flag active posts?
