Flagging isn’t only in case of breaking the guidelines. From the FAQ:
What does [flagged] mean?
Users flagged the post as breaking the guidelines or otherwise not belonging on HN.
In other words, submissions get flagged that users believe don’t belong on HN. LLM-written submissions can be one such case.
