Well, I proposed my alternative. But what the hell, how about another?

* Nothing is banned automatically.
* Flagged posts are handled in order of some function based on how  
old they are and how many flags there are and what type there are.  
For example, spam flags get an exponential function of the number of  
flags, say 0.1 * 2^N.
* If something is obviously being flagged falsely, the IP address of  
the all flaggers are put on a silent blacklist for one day, and all  
flags from these address are silently voided.
* The length of the blacklist is increased each time it's invoked.
