Did something change in the calculation of Helpful Flags?

Question

The count of Helpful Flags on my profile has jumped up by several dozen since this morning, but I haven't flagged anything in the interim.

Did something change in how this is calculated? Is something broken?

Answer 1

Per Jarrod Dixon, something did change.

@LessPop_MoreFizz it's by-design. Comment flags weren't being counted correctly.

Mystery Solved.

_{I've flagged a lot of comments, huh?}
