Oh, yeah, that's fine. So you're suggesting that if 7 members (only) report a post, it'll collapse, but at the same time, if, say, 3 Mythics reported it, it would also collapse? Yeah, that's not unreasonable. I don't understand why people hate this idea so much.
I'm not really going to say yes or no, but I wouldn't mind if this was implemented, and I would be affected in that my reports wouldn't matter as much, so I don't understand why everyone else is saying no. They fail to understand that the title bar is simply being used as a gauge to measure their trust level. While I don't necessarily trust the Mythics more than anyone (at all), giving them more report power than others isn't a horrid idea. I think this would be especially helpful in The Flood, where the majority of people are Members, so that whenever a troll comes along, the higher-titled members that report them will allow the troll to show up in the report queue faster.
I doubt I'm making sense, I'm just kind of typing this as it comes to me, but I'll say right now that the "derp they're only titles and this would give them more power" argument is pretty invalid, simply for the sole reason that these are reports and can hardly be abused.

EDIT: Oh, I misread the OP. I thought this was a thread suggesting that the effect reporting would have on a post would vary from title to title, e.g., 7 member reports is equal to 3 reports done by Mythics, etc. I
er.... that's what I'm suggesting. I'm not saying it takes more reports to collapse a post by a higher titled member.
I'm saying X users posts and the higher the member that REPORTS that post (regardless of their title) it should add more weight to the report. Simply because they've been here longer.
I am not trolling, I think this is a legitimate argument I don't understand why everyone is getting so confused in this thread.
EDIT: So far, the majority of the people who have said no are regular members like me that are butthurt about the idea of not being as important as someone else; one even said you were trolling. Coming from the logical side of the regular Member family, it's not a bad idea.
