RE: #NSFW posts deserve an OPTIONAL SETTING to be OPTED OUT or OFF your feed.
That'd be a great idea. There should be some sort of guidelines however because some things are definitely nsfw and some things skirt the edges. People who post nsfw material and don't tag it as such should have their account suspended for a certain length of time. Also everyone as a community should be able to vote on what they deem nsfw content. I think that will allow a future where children can be a part of the system without parents fearing posts they do not wish their children to see will randomly appear or for those offended by such content.
I would suggest that enough upvotes would negate the flags. Build an algarithm that determines at a ratio when to waive the flag's penalty. And that's a great idea, if someone is flagged enough from multiple posts, there should be punishment. A possible punishment idea would to suspend the account for X amount of minutes. However, this could cause united attacks on posts, which may cause harm, but allow to view who flagged what content. If that person is notorious for flagging for false reasons, that person should be penalized per some sort of Terms of Service causing grief.
Just talking off my head here.
There should be a flag for content posted in the wrong section and one for spam type content and one when you feel the user has copied or plagiarized. And yes the second part of that should be true as you've said to prevent people from falsely using the alert/flag system.
