What did I do wrong?
Yesterday I posted the following:
I noticed that April posted a game which has received 229 answers and thousands of views. So what is the most answers any question has ever received? Hey April, great game. I vote we do it again. Start a new thread or restart the game on the old thread and lets see how high we can make those numbers go!List item
Since then the post was flagged x1 and spammed x1. What did I do wrong? I am new to the site but I do know not to post any profane, mean spirited or insulting threads. I don't see anything in this post that would offend anybody.
Can anybody please tell me what is in this post to warrant a flag?

Maybe you did nothing wrong. There have been cases of some members flagging posts just to annoy people. There was a recent case where a member was banned from the site because of this behavior.
Hi elcielo
We have another case of indicriminate flagging which is being investigated. You did nothing wrong so please bear with us. We have left the flag on while we trace the culprit.
I don't think it was just you - I was just browsing around and I discovered that another member - soccerlover54 - has been flagged 9 times within an hour last night.
Maybe one of the admins could look into this? It seems odd.
Don't worry about it - it's probably just a troll
Yes, you wont find boquita y bocota in the dic.simply because these two words are describing the word mouth.But, rest assure that all over the psanish speaking world the two words in question are used. In english you need to add words if you wnat to describe a noun such as boca or mouth, eg. big mouth,litle mouth. Big guy in Spanish would be "muchachote" or litle girl would be "muchachita". Try to finf those words in a diccionary. How about airplane, big airplane, in Spanish, avionsote,little airplane would be avioncito. At any rate, I could be wrong,but I doubt it. note, just because is not in the diccionary -anyone of them - it does not mean that the word does not exists. I look over at the rest of your work lsaer on, I liked what you wrote and please keep working on your language skills.
I'm guessing that someone flagged your post just to be mean. In any forum such as this anyone can log on and do some random flagging and then cancel their account. I've been flagged also by a "mysterious flagger" who disappeared into the night. 99.9% of the people on this forum are decent, but once in awhile another type creeps in...
Hola Elcielo,
I was very surprised when I saw that your thread was flagged also. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Occasionally people do abuse the right to flag posts, but Heidi and Eddy will deal with them.
If I remember correctly, Eddy even answer your question, so I would not worry. Hang in there!
You didn't post a game. You posted a question about what the highest number of views a topic has gotten. I'm not sure why you were flagged, however, it may be that your post was an abuse of the "general topics" category. An abuse means that the topic has no real value here on Spanishdict, i.e., How are you today, What's your name, etc.
Take a look at this thread by Eddy, which talks about the types of topics that are considered an abuse of the "general topics" category.
Some people do this to be mean spirited. It's random and not right. Welcome to the site and hoep this gets resolved for you. Bring it to an admin's attention and hopefully it will work out.
I honestly didn't see anything that might warrent this. I could've over looked something but I didn't see anyting terrible on it. I remember the post. It was fun.
