This system would enable the threads to be at least temporarily dealt with in a matter of seconds to minutes instead of hours and removes the time sensitivity for mods and I feel like Chief Delphi is capable of not completely abusing a system like this (famous last words).

Not a bad idea, except I think it would need to be limited to users with a post count over a certain number - 100 maybe? Otherwise I can see threads disappearing left and right as a new form of "trolling".
