Oh, is it? Then when can I expect to be able to flag again? Because a lot of bad links are getting through.

- jcr 14y agoI don't know when or if you'll be able to flag again. Some consequences are temporary and last for a month or two, but others are permanent. As I mentioned before, many of the details are not public. Your best bet is to wait a month or two, and if flagging doesn't get enabled, then contact YC. Most of HN is designed on the principle of "Enough Rope" from the old phrase, "Give him enough rope to hang himself, and he will." The important thing for you to realized is, you did this to yourself. The threshold is designed to prevent abuse. If all of your flags were deemed "good," then it's unlikely that you would have reached the threshold. It's possible you are flagging too much, or many of your flags are deemed as "bad," or both.
