One of the few things I enjoy about Craigslist is the community "flagging" feature used there. (most either love it or hate it)
For example on IPB, permitted usergroups can "flag" a topic or post,
after X amount of flags the topic/post is automatically set into moderation que and report issued to all applicable mods.
An extra setting to control amount of flags issued per group, similar to rep system would be even better.
Doesn't seem to be a huge implementation, seems it would bolt nicely to the IPB moderation logic.
I have 2 mods that handle a relatively well behaved community of 11,000, but when a spammer gets on board, we usually recieve multiple reports before a mod can act.
a community moderation feature like above would be very effective in this scenario.
comments?
Thanks.
