Personally I flag as I see fit regardless of what others have previously done or not. Perhaps the additional flag does nothing as the system is currently set up. Even if so, some time in the future multiple agreeing flags could (and probably should) mean something. For example, enough spam flags could delete the post automatically and maybe ban the user until a moderator can look at the situation. Flagging and having a moderator mark the flag as helpful also feeds into the abilities system so that you can eventually deal with the issue directly instead of having to flag it. Unfortunately, our ability thresholds are ridiculously high so it won't happen any time soon. Still, each flag is progress, and maybe the ability thresholds will be set more reasonably in the future.
