Dingobot is basically a computer program that's set to detect certain conditions that are not useful in the answer. That might be someone using profanity in an answer, including a phone number or sticking a load of exclamation marks at the end.

Is DingoBot annoying?

DingoBot is not a person. Dingobot is a terrific Bot (robot) that tirelessly helps to fight spam and vandalism by flagging questions/answers so that users and Answers.com supervisors can correct them. For example, Dingobot flags answers for spam when they contain advertising or links in the body of the answer. Answers are flagged for gibberish when they have histrionic multiple question marks or exclamation points in a row, which add nothing to the answer. Dingobot also flags to remove nonsense and eradicate profanity, obscenity, insults, abuse, racism, and cyber bullying. The effort made by Dingobot (and its canny creator) aims to promote and maintain quality answers and an enhanced user-experience. .

You cannot flag a question. You can only flag answers to questions. To do so, you must be a registered user, and if you look under 'Question Tools' in your blue navigation bar, it should say 'Flag for Improvement'.

Why do bots randomly target and flag questions on WikiAnswers?

WikiAnswers bots do not randomly target and flag questions; they use an algorithm to determine answers that should be flagged based on a list of inappropriate words. As with humans, bots do make mistakes, so if you come across an unwarranted flag, please remove it.

Been flaged for answering questions that really dont make any sense the questions were so vague I didnt think it would hurt to answer them in the same way. is this a forum or a controlled environment?

This is a somewhat a controlled environment. The members of WikiAnswers have the ability to flag answers and questions which do not follow the ToS. The best thing to do with questions which do not make sense is to flag the question.
