I think giving everything a 'downvote reason' is a good idea. The 'report' function would also be useful, if a little redundant.
If someone reports a comment, would there be an automated system or would someone actually look at the comment? If it's the latter, and the report is a false one, you could give the offending user a strike. Multiple false reports could result in a punishment. If it's automated, maybe there's a solution for that as well.
Really interesting ideas regarding leadership positions. Voting could be effective, and I like using rep and tribe mastery to determine eligibility. I think transparency is vital.

I see the comment reporting system as a way to actually remove bad content like spam / abuse / racism / etc while down votes are mostly for sorting and possibly hiding bad comments. Since comments can be made from multiple tribes within a single member posted snap there is no good way to allow all chiefs & moderators have free reign on moderating them (this is why we cannot mod them now). A good way to imagine what would happen is to have a snap posted into /t/atheism, /t/religion and maybe even /t/christianity and /t/buddhism. Now I can see some great discussions taking place between those 4 tribes being linked into a snap, but I just don't see how 4 chefs (and their staff) in one kitchen can do a good job moderating that type of situation, to put it simply, it would be a cluster fuck. I think its great that comments cannot be moderated because it gives everyone a sense of freedom to express their opinion without the fear of coming across a mod that is having a bad day. Now, going back to the reporting function, this would give the whole community the power to decide what is acceptable and what is against the rules. Of course I see all reports processed by super-mods manually and those report which are false can effect that member's report score or something along those lines, if a member makes too many false reports they will loose their ability to report, and maybe even loose the ability to affect the voting system in a negative way (rep, position, etc). Again, its just an idea for how we can manage the comments. Mods would still be able to decide if a snap stays in the tribe or is booted...

Super-mods would manually process the reports and select between two options, "True", "False or Fake". This simple action can then have consequences on the content. Yep, and the punishment would be the loss of being able to have an effect on the system.

I'm pretty sure every system is corruptible, but as long as we are able to properly mitigate this corruption we should be ok. I agree that transparency is the most important if we want things to be fair.
Great ideas.
