How to check my influence level in Yahoo! Answers?
The thank you message after submission of appeal mentioned that if I won the appeal, the person or people who reported me will have a lower influence level in the future causing their reports to be less visibility to the staff.

There is no way to check your influence level, as that is only known to staff (and the computer program that utilizes it), and it is every changing. If things you report drop immediately, it is likely that you have a high level of trust in reporting, but not certain. You can never tell if it is your one report that dropped it, or if you are simply the final one of many to trigger it.
All you can do is report - accurately, consistently, frequently - and your trust rating (TR) will increase over time.

No one knows what their trust level is for reporting. Being a Trusted Reporter takes working at it and reporting actual violations as you see them (not ignoring or answering them) to have a high Trust Rating for reporting. It does not happen quickly.
From Yahoo............ " Community members who consistently and accurately report abusive questions and answers have more influence than others.
By the same token, users who report content incorrectly will lose trust. So the level of influence any member of the Yahoo Answers Community has varies constantly dependent on their actions.
If one or more trusted members of the Community report the same question or answer, it will be removed.
Trust levels are always in flux, and there isn't a "Trusted Reporter" title you can earn.
This is why there are no "indicators" or "badges" on your account telling you that you're trusted. Whether a question or answer is removed by the community depends on many factors, including the trust and quality levels of the reporters and the person being reported."

You are not told, you just have to use your gut feeling about how well you are doing
