Now that I think about it, my questions should be in the Linux stack Exchange
The general rule is not to migrate questions with answers. So your first question should not be migrated. The second has no answers so you can simply delete it and post it on U&L yourself.

How can I put a flag on certain tags?
You cannot flag tags. Just bring the issue up on meta (like you did) to have the tag either deleted or synomynized with another.

If not actually on the Raspberry Pi it would be off-topic. Or as the helpcenter has it: Please make sure that your questions are intrinsically Raspberry Pi oriented.
