(1) is certainly necessary. (2) is more complicated. How about starting with:
2a. someone else posts to the thread, flags their own post, and adds "^ 2" or something like that to their subject line to indicate that the flag is actually for the post that's 2 up
Then later:
2b. anyone could flag the post directly, but only deputies could unflag (and reflag) it
