Title: Maybe we need a limit on flags for each user...?
Post by: coinlocket$ on January 12, 2020, 05:37:34 PM
Just my 2 cents.

Do we need a limit on the number of the flag for the user based on their rank and the support on their flags?
I was looking on the trust list flag from LoyceV and I saw " Bitcoin SV" flagging nearly 200 people and no one of them are active.

You can see the list here: http://loyce.club/trust/flags/232.html

A good solution can be a limit based on the rank plus bonuses if their flag will be supported like I don't know

Newbie 5
J Member 10
Member 30
Senior 50
Hero 100
Legendary 200

Now if a flag from one rank is supported/active the number of the limit can double till infinite.

And maybe remove the limit for DT members regardless of their rank.

N.B. The numbers written are only an example.

There's a limit already:
These limits are in place:
 - Per 180 days, you can only give 1 flag of each type to a given user. So you can't give someone multiple written-contract-violation flags in 180 days, for example.
 - Globally, per year you can only create 1 flag per activity point you have, but at least 1/year.
I agree the limit is too high. Even if someone would create hundreds or even thousands of valid Flags per year, it's just too much work to check all those Flags to Support or Oppose them. So the number of Flags has to be limited a bit.

Let me count: "only" 84 :D He has 158 Activity (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2371095), so he shouldn't be able to create more Flags than that in the first year.

I like the bonus part for supported Flags. It discourages creating Flags that remain Inactive.

Any Flag spammer can just create more Newbie accounts, so I don't think this is going to help.

I think DT varies too much for that.
