Automatic deletion of flagged content is a bad idea, due to reasons @seraph exists for, and for more reasons Steemit exists for.
Still, there should be additional judgement (human, or even AI) taken prior to a deletion.
But deletion must be done, because the current Steemit model is self-defeating.
Look at sherlockholmes' work.
How this place demands deletions
A future hard fork could discard all flagged/hidden content in the future, yes?
I'm not saying this would even be a good thing, necessarily, but the potential is there to shed parts of the database based on witness consensus?
Good points, thanks for the information.

Yeah, that's what I meant. Not an automatic deletion so much as community-agreed guidelines for filtering some stuff for deletion.
I really like the concept though the content can only be hidden, deleting blocks will actually de-value steem if im right.
