Would it be possible to keep the same formula that gives more flags before 500 and just carry it forward?
I don't think that anyone on SU will hit 100 flags (the current ceiling I think).
EDIT: See here for more details on the current system.

I don't think this is a good idea. What if a new user doesn't flag for a month? Then he has collected a ton of flags that he hasn't used, and therefore can flood the mods with flags that may or may not be valid. Flagging is a privilege that will be rewarded for good behavior. I feel it needs to stay that way.

Perhaps I was unclear. I am not talking about adding cumalative flags, just increasing the flag count in the same way that it is done before 500 after 500 as well.– soandosCommented Aug 22, 2011 at 17:19

@sandos... I'm not sure I understand... you want more flags after 500? Commented Aug 22, 2011 at 17:23

Yes, on the same basis that more flags are given before 500.– soandosCommented Aug 22, 2011 at 17:25

This confuses me even more then: >I don't think that anyone on SU will hit 100 flags< leads me to believe that 100 is too much... Commented Aug 22, 2011 at 17:29

max flag weight will be 10+(750-100)/20+rep/2k. For John T (assuming he has 750 flag weight) it would give 79 flags.– soandosCommented Aug 22, 2011 at 17:35

If you're using 100 flags though, I feel that there might be an issue with how you're using them. Commented Aug 22, 2011 at 17:39

But you won't be getting 100... The highest person might have up to 79... And currently, I believe Jon Skeet would have 100 flags now (On SO).– soandosCommented Aug 22, 2011 at 19:12

So you're asking for a feature you admit is unlikely to ever benefit anyone?
Um... Why?

No, everyone above 500 flag weight will get more flags, but not 100... I get the feeling that that line is more trouble than it is worth...– soandosCommented Aug 22, 2011 at 22:16
