I also thought we used to have a system where someone with a lower reputation couldn't flag someone with a higher reputation. Is that still even active?

I would disagree on this last proposal. "The powerful getting more powerful" is a fatal design-flaw in the site, everything needs to be done in order to restore more balance.

Another probably better option: Make the first 2 flags do not count.
It would help discover plagiarism faster than a shield mode, and zero the rewards more effectively at the moment multiple people would flag.
A the 3rd flag, all the flags (incl. 1 and 2) kick in and the post is put down.

So all they'd have to do is make 3 accounts then right? :)

It has to be something more difficult, but easy for most people to achieve with some positive participation on the platform.

ah upvoted that to soon, the powerful getting more powerful.. not a good thing .. but reputation level is a good one..
