awesome yes this is exactly what i was looking for.

five people is not a large number given the sheer size of the site i manage. i am using wp-discourse for a blog with 2.5 million monthly unique viewers. i have 48 gigs of ram dedicated to discourse now. on a busy night there’s going to be at least 5 people flagging at least 12 times in every single thread on the site. they aren’t illegitimate flags, we just get a lot of terrible trolls trying to disrupt our community unfortunately.
