Refactor comment and flag services for improved readability and error handling

- Removed unused import from `comment_service.py` to streamline the code.
- Enhanced readability in `flag_service.py` by formatting conditional statements and comments for better clarity.
- Updated error handling in `flag_service.py` to ensure consistent behavior when dealing with DataAPIResponseException.
- Improved formatting in `db_helpers.py` for better readability of exception handling logic.
