I am facing the same prob, what are the exact disadvantages of being flagged, what shall we avoid, etc ?
P.S Jut for the record i I joined only couple a days ago.
On Silan, there is really no danger nor disadvantage.
On the mainland in can be a problem BUT there are actually ways to fix the bug. In short, it's really nothing to worry about at this point.
