I just took a super quick look and it looks like the scoring system takes into account a collection of factors now: the flagger’s trust level and the flagger’s past success rate.
This makes some sense. The forum software in general attempts to trust community members who earn that trust.
Doesn’t mean it doesn’t need balancing.
Additionally - I’d be happy to have the community self moderate. I’m not always online to review flags - and I find it hard to moderate on behalf of the community. Because my own tolerances for inappropriate / off topic / etc are pretty high. I’m just happy to ignore and skip over rubbish.
