I had this happen to me 2-3 times as well. Incorrectly flagged and closed by point seekers in a hurry. It made me respect the platform less and honestly I find myself barely participating anymore after years of activity.


If they were “point seekers”, they would have answered the questions (an action that gives points) instead of closing them (an action that gives no points). I somehow doubt the votes were incorrect, though.


Sorry, "badge seekers" then if you must insist on precision for the same idea. It's all fake internet points.
