Shouldn't we increase flagging threshold?

Question

For some reason there is a huge discrepancy between karma you need to downvote comments (over 500) and flag submissions (31 according to https://github.com/minimaxir/hacker-news-undocumented/blob/master/README.md#flaggingvouching).As flagging often creates a lot of controversy, shouldn't we make it more difficult for relatively new accounts to flag submissions by increasing the threshold to let say 100 or even 200?

My .02 : a minimum account age or score before someone can submit a link or post. Would solve half of the things that are being flagged in the first place.
