Could someone please explain the ‘thumb up, thumb down, report abuse flag’ area in the right hand corner …

Question by Darjeeling Snow: Could someone please explain the ‘thumb up, thumb down, report abuse flag’ area in the right hand corner …
…of the answers….there seems to be different criteria involved

1 thumbs up means: good answer! (approval) – that I know
2 thumbs down means (on my server) unacceptable answer to such a degree that it is taken off That would be the same as “report abuse” which is the function of the flag, is it not? Why double signs for practically the same thing?
I would think that the thumbs down would mean an answer was considered wrong. I would like to be able to indicate a wrong answer for the sake of the unwary. But my server pulls it off to the side of the road, so to speak, and leaves it there.
3 flag – just to report: mine then goes into full swing onto another screen for a verbal report …

Re-cap: why does my thumbs down …er … not function properly?

Thank you!
