Land claim issue

[BigBombz 13]

I'm playing on official EU PVE and finally managed to claim one little piece of land. Last night my neighbor who has been hogging a lot of land somehow managed to place another claimflag or theirs almost to the border of my claim area overlapping mine and now my taming pit is says that it's not on my territory and will rapidly decay.
How is this even possible? If I try to place my claim flag overlapping even a little of someone else's territory I get a message saying "Can't place claim flag, too close to enemy territory"
I moved to play PVE because I was worn out by griefers and night raiders on PVP and even now I can't be sure that my base can be safe from some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. 
Is this a some kind of bug or glitch they are using because it can't be right?

There are multiple bugs with claim flags. One of the issues are if you place down a flag to claim something, you can have other corp members to do flag bombing within the same teal coloured circle against the otherwise "too close to enemy flag" positions. They may or may not have done it on purpose.

And don´t get me started on how bugged the sea flags are.

I think these guys are doing it on purpose, they've been stealing a lot of land from a lot of companies on that island.
I think devs should remove those old floating sea flags completely because you can't place new ones anymore. There is hundreds of those just littering the map.

Is there any GM or admins on the servers you can ask for help in these kind of situations? I mean they must see that this is not right.
