You, yourself as a user don't exactly get flagged on WikiAnswers. You can have your account reported by a user, though, if they click on the "Report abuse" link on your profile, your message board or even your contributions.
However, your answers can get flagged by other users or by the bots on this site if they detect gibberish, websites, profanity, long answer changed, etc. Other users can flag your answers (or questions) if they feel something is missing or needs changing.
