Feb 25, 2011 at 23:18 comment added Brad Larson It appears that this is now completed with the "Deputy" badge: stackoverflow.com/badges/1002/deputy
Feb 22, 2011 at 21:07 comment added DMA57361 @dmckee - according to info elsewhere (like the link in the question) the flag weight maxes out at a value of 500, so this is probably the "default" target in my mind - but the team would have to assess the current distribution for a suitable threshold if anything was to be introduced.
Feb 22, 2011 at 20:52 comment added dmckee --- ex-moderator kitten Aside: What values would be "high". I mean, I know what my weighting score is but have no idea what the distribution looks like. I am a flagging god, a loser, or just this guy who sometimes flags things?
Feb 22, 2011 at 15:39 comment added DMA57361 @Tim Hmmm, a good point RE privacy. And if they're flagging wildly to get the badge they're likely to lose flag weight anyway; they won't get the badge, and their flags will drop to the bottom of the list. Although, I guess this is much less of a problem on every other site compared to SO so I probably miss some perspective in terms of volume...
Feb 22, 2011 at 15:35 comment added user50049 Some users might object to that, as it would be obvious to everyone that they frequently flag things. Additionally, while I don't want to discourage flags, I don't want to encourage people to flag stuff just to win a badge, I'm afraid that might drop the signal to noise ratio. Still, I really would like to see the people who do a lot of the heavy lifting rewarded in some way. +1 for the idea of rewarding them, but I'm not sure about the badge.
