Yes, you are alerted if a question on your watchlist is flagged.
The flagged question will be taken care of by Special Project Assistants (SPA) or Supervisors, or even just helpful users. The Flagged Questions is a warning sign, and can mean tasks for the SPA team.
This question should be flagged.
Dingobot does not flag questions, he flags answers. If your question has been flagged and there has been no answer, then a human user has flagged it.
If I answer your question, it will get flagged.

Only answers can be "Flagged", therefore non-answered questions cannot be flagged.
Flagged Questions vs Featured QuestionsThe basic difference is that a flagged question has already been answered, although the answer needs improvement of sorts, and therefore gets "flagged." A featured question, on the other hand, is a question of interest that has not yet been answered (the minute a featured question does get answered, it automatically gets removed from the list of Featured questions).(For more information, see the Related questions.)
When a question is flagged for cyberbullying, a Supervisor will see it. So if it is a question, just skip it.However, if the cyberbulling is in an answer, visitors can also edit the answer, remove the cyberbullying answer, and post a corrected answer. But if the question bullies too, just leave both alone--a Supervisor will handle it.
That depends on what was wrong with the question. The flag will tell you what you did incorrectly (i.e. posted profanity, multiple exclamation marks, poor grammar, false information, etc.) so your best bet would be to see what the flag says and fix the answer. When in doubt, contact the supervisor.
