Comprehensive "Flag as Spam" system...

[BirdOPrey5]

This would no doubt win "Mod of the Month" and bring fame to whomever makes this...

This would be a "Flag as Spam" system that would add a 'spam' flag to every post, next to or near the 'report post' icon. When a spam message is posted any user can click the 'this is spam' flag, this would auto report the post to moderators and also if enough people click it as spam, auto hide the post in the forum with an option to allow people to view it if they want (this would be an option in admin cp) Mods could then deal with or delete the spam as normal but it will be hidden from view by default. The number of people who need to report it as spam before it gets hidden would also be a setting in admin cp from 1 to any other number. The system would log everyone who reports a post as spam so abuse can be detected ideally there would also be a way to ignore 'flags' from problem flaggers who abuse the system so their votes don't count.

Even more bonus points would be if it could give good rep (or 'credits') to users who flag spam to give them incentive to do so... while spam prevention is important it can't always be stopped- this would effectively stop it in its tracks and I'm shocked no one has done this yet. If implemented only 1 (or 2 or 3 or so) people ever need to see a spam message before it's hidden. If it turns out to be a legit message it can be restored and the user who flagged it waned in some way.
