Please add a new priviledgeprivilege that allows unlimited flagging to help combat spam!

A massive spam attack happened and I am only allowed to flag 9 of them. 

I didn't see any privileges that lifts this limit. If, at a certain point, this restriction is lifted, then delete this request. However, if the limit is sustained or at least until a user reaches a massive amount of reputation points, how about having another reputation milestone, say something like 100 reputation, that increases the number of times a day you can flag spam.?

I figure that everyone flags immediately after a spam question is made. So everyone flags the first 9 spams and then the ones after go unflagged. Of coarsecourse, this is not a solution to spam. I mean, the fact that these spammers are generating 4k views a post with 20 spam answers to their spam questions seems to indicate an automated process by which they spam. 

I don't think the massive number of vigilant stackExchangeStackExchange users can simply combat that. I'm just making a single suggestion which needs to be coupled with a much larger anti-spam strategy.
