[_ck_]

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
