Reply delays cause "I couldn't reply in the right place, so I'll just reply in the wrong place" comments, which I find even more annoying.

A better way to do it would be to cut off responses to any thread once there are a certain number of flags in the parents.

The way it's currently set up, there's been a couple of times I've been having a valid conversation with someone, but then run into the wall of not been able to respond directly to them - no fight, no flagging, no reason given.
