I've noticed a trend where people with unrestricted uploads are uploading images of questionable quality. This isn't a new a thing its been this way a while but i feel like its time thats changed.

If I flag it and it gets sent to the moderation queue for review then wouldn't it have been easier for it to have been in the moderation queue already? It sounds like a lot of steps just to get to the same destination.
I don't understand what you mean. If someone has unrestricted privileges it means they bypass the queue by default unless they chose not to. Obviously they think it's good enough.
If someone disagrees they can flag the post so that it's forced through the queue for review.

Unrestricted uploaders earn that privilege for a reason. They consistently demonstrated that they understand what Danbooru's quality standards are, and are thus allowed to bypass those steps so long as they maintain their eye for quality. There are odd instances where they may voluntarily ask for a post to be moderated - I've done this a few times. If others believe the post(s) need a QA check, then they flag it. No harm, no foul.
Contributor status is a real prickly subject. There was a real crap storm 4 years ago (topic #13113) which eventually ended with the first and last ever voting thread (topic #13139), where the idea of limiting contributors was overwhelming rejected by the community.
