I would still like to see some improvements in this regard. Setting the flagging threshold too low invites flag spam from TL1 users and too high makes it ineffective. Having multipliers for likes and not something like this is puzzling.

Also, I don’t understand why spam flags get special treatment. Only spam flags hide TL0 users posts and result in blocking new users. Inappropriateness should equally result in hiding messages and blocking accounts. I’d even raise that to cover TL1 users as well. If someone joins the forum and breaks the rules, they should be blocked until and an admin or a moderator can find out what’s going on.
