And a report post plugin is born - tested working!
Needs a few features but gets the job done for now:
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: report post
Description: allows members to report a post to admin/moderators
Plugin URI: http://CKon.wordpress.com
Author: _ck_
Author URI: http://CKon.wordpress.com
Version: 0.1
*/
/*
instructions: install, activate and put <? report_post_link(); ?> in your post.php template where you want the link to be seen
optional in stylesheet: a.report_post {color:red;}
todo:
1. don't let them report more than once on a post - or more than too many times per minute/hour
2. auto-delete post if more than x reports from different members
3. auto-post report into a specified moderator's forum #
4. maybe ajax xmlhttp call instead of real form post so there's no page movement
5. it's technically possible to alert a browing mod with a popup directing to the reported post, no email needed
