Almost like a hub wheel approach for muting posts at a threshhold.. Well, nuts, keeps it collective and customizable. Great idea. My only addition: if this gets implemented as well as FuzzyWords's for logged out users, set a default threshold for anyone not logged in.

It's how Automoderator over on "that other site" works. Once the number of reports crosses whatever threshold you set, Automod yanks the post.

This one function turned /r/RealEstate from a deliberate spam haven into a community with 50,000 subscribers.
