I used to flag bad submissions, then my flag link silently disappeared for about a year. Since I must not know how it's supposed to be used, I rarely flag anymore.

They should allow down votes on stories - I always hesitate with flagging as I don't really know what it does.

Flags affect the rankings and enough flags will kill a story. Moderators may/will look at stories with more than a few flags.
