send courtesy link to member to move their own thread

It would be useful for the moderators if there was a button in a post near the edit and quote buttons, or as a moderator drop down choice, that said

'send move post request to poster'

And when you clicked this link, a box would pop up, much like the report post box, but with some standard text, and a place to add a 'reason'. it would send an email and a pm to the original poster, with a link to that thread, and the request for the user to self-move the thread, with a note that if it wasn't self moved in 'x' time period, a moderator would move it.
This would allow a user to move a thread themselves when posted on the wrong board.

Many of my users get upset when a moderator moves their thread, and then say 'if you had just asked me, or if I had known, i would have moved it myself'.
It's not a big deal function, but it's something that introduces more courtesy and more professionality into the forum moderation area.

A sample of the text would be:

(Standard set in vbulletin admin side, phrase, etc)
Hello membername,
This is a courtesy request for you to move one of your posts. Our normal board policy is that a post on this topic would be more appropriate on a different board. Your post at this link (link to post would be automatically inserted here) needs to be moved to this board.

(insert name of board here, which would be a link to that board - maybe picked by the mod using the forum jump menu type function).

Please move your post within the next (time frame), or a moderator will move it for you. If you have any questions, please reply to this message or check with the moderator of the board this post is on.

You could use my mod for this, to post a message in the thread asking that user to move their post..
