Yeah I can imagine the mods love it. Anything that makes their lives easier.

I'm working on the idea that for moderators only, in showthread.php, checked posts have a light green background. When all the posts in a thread are checked, in forumdisplay.php, the thread has a light green background.
So moderators strive to mark all the posts as checked.

Moderators can toggle the 'working mode' where they are actively moderating or not.
When actively moderating, and they open a thread in a forum they moderate, all the unchecked posts on the page are instantly marked as checked so that other moderators later viewing those posts will see that they are being or have been checked. That way there is no duplication of effort.

So that moderators can see what threads need the most attention, there is a new column for moderators only to the left of the main post column which displays the number of unchecked posts for each thread. Plus there is an option to sort threads by the number of unchecked posts inside.

In addition, there are options to mark posts as checked and unchecked via the in-line moderation system.

Does this sound like a good idea to you?
