How can you say that? How does your personal experience of flagging postings in any way give you insight into the closed CL system?
I agree that flagging/community moderation is a good and necessary thing, I just think CL does it in an absolutely terrible way.
For example, if people find your post annoying, there is no "flag as annoying," or "flag and leave a comment." Instead, someone inadvertently offends someone else, and their post is taken down as spam. This example has netted only irritation for all parties involved, with no learning or progress. To me, that is simply a bad system.
