Is flagging of submissions only for spam, trolling, etc?

I'm often tempted to flag submissions for lesser reasons, so I'd like to know.

I'm curious how this fits, also:

I’ve always thought of Flag as being for “submissions that are off topic”. Which includes spam but also eg celebrity gossip.

(I wouldn’t consider this submission off topic)
