Give experts the ability to collectively hide a post.

Question

By that I mean, have an "expert's flag" sort of deal, where if 3 experts flag a post, it gets hidden.
Sometimes (some=most), we get hide-worthy posts while no editors/mods are on, and about 5-6 experts are on, and we just facepalm until it gets 5 flags (which takes for ever because people don't care enough to flag).

Why not just make expert flags count as 2-3 flags instead of 1? Posts get hidden when they reach 5 flags, so if it really is invalid, it'll be hidden much faster with the influence of experts speeding that up.

That might work better and be alot easier for you to implement, so yeah.

In that quote, it says "Posts get hidden when they reach 5 posts" it should be flags, not posts.

Is this still something people actively want?

Imo this may work, as getting five flags on a rule-breaking answer or question is a headache and is indeed takes some time to be fully achieved.
As Expert+ users would already be knowledgeable about the site, this won't create much of a problem of them 'misusing' this in some way.

This isnt a bad idea, but I don't see much of a point in it currently. Mods and editors are generally pretty quick to close or hide things that break the rules after they're flagged.
