It's Sunday Night, and the Spammers Are Out

[Meredith Poor + 897]

Today demonstrates that, yet again, we need a 'report this post' option.

'Report this post' should hide a given post if 7 or more long term users (active for more than one month) report the post. Once an administrator has reviewed the content they can choose to return it to visibility or purge the user and the associated posts. Right now everything gets cluttered up with garbage and all the rest of the discussions 'disappear' from the most recently updated list.

Agreed, a "report post" flag for non-moderators would be useful to alert moderators for spammers and inappropriate comments.

Weirdly, moderators already have a "report post" function, to alert other moderators I guess.  But it would be helpful to extend that functionality to non-moderators.
