They seem to hang around rather long, at least in the order of 24 hours. Could posts that receive enough flags become hidden from everyone automatically until a mod takes a look? Maybe add some heuristic where flags from brand new users aren't counted towards this system to work against sockpuppet gaming.
That would work, but a karma threshold would work just as well (for the problem at hand at least), and be easier to implement.
Yep, and it could be tiny -- five points would probably be a high enough threshold if the goal is just to eliminate jewelry spam and the "everything else is just another trainsmash of the Gregorian Frequency of disconnected heart bio-rhythm" guy.
Hell, one point would be high enough.
Or one upvote regardless of downvotes, unless there are bots that upvote posts.
Hmm, so to be attack-resistant you'd need:
How are initial points distributed then? If you need points to post, how do you get that initial point?
You can comment without points.
Which means that the spammers will move to submitting comments.
Still that is better than spammy posts in my opinion.
