The whole point of a flag on a wiki is to give that user some extra tools so they can help keep the wiki clean of incorrect information. Those tools are not there so that the user can rule the wiki with an ironclad fist. If someone vandalises a page, the edit will be reverted by those with the ability to do so and then listed for a block by an admin.

I say again: flags are NOT status symbols. They are merely flags to give a user extra tools to help the wiki.
