    A trusted reporter is someone who the mods have already determined can do no wrong. I'm not one of those people.

    I have reported questions from kids under 13, and they are still there.

    I have reported questions that ask about self harm, and they are still there.

    I have reported questions that delve in to adult themes, and they are still there.

    I have reported questions about illegal activities, and they are still there.

    Every question I report gets a star so that I can keep track. None of the questions on my starred list have been deleted, and when I submit a report, I include the text from the CG that supports the breach.

    I answer a question truthfully and honestly, but it's not what the asker wants to know, reports it, and I get a violation!

    A trusted reporter, is someone that regularly reports questions and answers that violate the community guidelines, and they have the ability to drop the content on their own most of the time.

    To have that ability, they report often and accurately, with only few of them being overturned when appealed, and also while getting few violations on their own.
