If you receive a number of flags and they are deemed appropriate, your account will be placed on hold through further investigation and blocked completely if you're a repeat offender. This means that other users have flagged your posts as innapropriate a number of times to be put on hold.

Feel free to resubmit the question if you didn't find it useful.
