Why can't I mark things as Expired?

You obviously don't have staff that checks deals, so when I'm looking for a specific item, and find tons of posts that are long expired, I try to help clean things up by reporting them as expired. However, I can only report ONE item as expired?

After I try to report a second item as Expired, I get an error stating
"Too many expired deal reports, try again later."

One is too many? That's a pretty crappy limit. This should be looked at and increased dramatically. I'm looking for a laptop and find deal after deal that are expired, but still in the Hot Deals forum. Let us help and mark them as such.

Reporting dead deals is indeed a big help to everyone, but I think there was an issue with bots or cats walking on touchpads reporting everything, so they added a limit as a quick fix. Thanks for the feedback that it's interfering with normal use.

Can you let me know what the mysterious criteria is? If I report something expired, how long do I have to wait before I can report something else expired? It would be better to just flag certain accounts instead of blocking all your actual users from doing it.
