...you have statistically increased the chance of blocking a post by increase the pool of voters from six to seven, out of which you need to convince four. In a real world analysis, I find that a high frequency of the posts I get asked to jury are upheld by a high vote, so the additional juror isn't likely to change things except in the margins. So what this is accomplishing is making it (marginally) easier to delete posts for which the alert appears to be spurious. If people think that's valuable, more power to them, but I don't think they're going to find the tenor of discussion changing by any noticeable amount.
