I don't think it's very high, like 1500 upvotes or something, there is a large population of people who can flag.

Another idea is to make flags fractional, so the more upvotes you have the more weight your flags have. So those newly empowered get say 0.1 of a flag while more highly rated users get progressively closer to 1 flag.
