“Having people report them wouldn’t help us address them any faster.”—Perhaps you could allow high karma users to cause these posts to immediately be hidden? That would be an intermediate step between allowing them to delete them (Although you’d also need a way to remove this capacity if it were being abused)
Yeah, that’s basically what I meant. (“deleting” isn’t actually mechanically different from “hiding” – it’s just toggling a flag that determines whether/where a post gets shown. And yeah we’d want admins to track how often this happens to sanity check it)
