Rank suggestions

[Filnor]

This are the flag ranks that are currently operational or will be added in a future release. Feel free to add your suggestions!

Note: The flags with striked-through text (like this) are not implemented yet.

2.008 for Flag Overflow because SO was created at 2008

[Filnor]

Thanks for your suggestions @paper1111, I added it to the list

[FelixSFD]

count	name	reason
365	A flag a day keeps bad posts away	one year has 365 days
22656	Almost Jon Skeet	22656 is his user-ID
101010	Definitely a robot	42 in binary code. Users with > 100k flags must be bots ;-) We could convert any other decimal number to binary as well, as long as it will result in an incredibly high flag count. 42 is just an example. Maybe 73 would be better?

[Filnor]

@FelixSFD I personally prefer 42, because 42 is the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything (42) :D, but I've already included the other two in the list. Thanks!

[Bhargav-Rao]

Elite squad for 10k, because at one point of time, there were only 16 of us.

[Filnor]

@Bhargav-Rao Thanks for your suggestion. I added it to the list.

[Floern]

• 42195 "The Marathon" (Marathon's length in meters)

• 65536 "The two to the sixteen"

• 2147483647 "The Overflow"

• –2147483648 "Yup, it's a signed integer"

• 4294967296 "A long journey"

[Bhargav-Rao]

@Floern, the "long journey" is quite close to 4,487,936,121, which is the distance in kilometers from earth to the edge of the solar system.

[Filnor]

@Floern @Bhargav-Rao I don't think that one will get 4.3 billion flags anytime soon, but it's good to be prepared 😄

@Floern Thanks for the suggestions, but I wonder how you imagined I would implement –2147483648 flags? All other suggestions are in the list already.

[Floern]

@pbdevch It was meant as a joke, but I think you'd just have to check whether the flag count is negative (or was once).

[Filnor]

@Floern I already thought so, I won't actually implement it. I think the disk space for checking negative flags would be wasted unnecessarily though.

1969 - "Moon landing" - "I flagged the moon!"
314159 - "π" - "Who ate all the Pi?"
3456 - "<3456" - "You <3 flagging too much."
5566 - "A Taiwanese boy band, formed under Taiwanese music company, J-Star." - "Long Time No Flag"

[Filnor]

@Jinx88909 Thank you! Now we have more ranks between 1K up to 20K and beetween 100K and the (maybe) impossible billions. I'll implement them in the next version.

[LunarWatcher]

• l337 fl4663r for 1337 flags

• Flag me up, Scotty for 2395 flags

[Filnor]

@LunarWatcher Thank you for your suggestions! I added them to the list and implement them in the next version. (Which will have the number 0.11.0).

[Filnor]

I'll close this issue so it won't be listed in the issue list anymore. If you want to suggest a new rank, just add a comment. If you can't add one, you can ping me in SOBotics.

@Filnor

1,252,759 - "Uncle Joncle" - https://stackoverflow.com/users/1252759/jon-clements

[Filnor]

@rjrudman Thank you for your suggestion! I have added it to the list and implement it in the next version. (But that could take some time due to some bigger changes which come with the flagging scoreboard)
