"Questionable Content" For Threads, Pages, etc.

I was recently looking at the Discussion Forum when I thought of this enhancement. You can flag things as questionable that are not pictures, such as inappropriate pages or threads that use abusive language.

Another good idea is to have a way of "Requesting For Deletion" that would allow users to flag pages that are blank, inappropriate, false, or something else for prompt deletion. Moderators would make regular checks to see if there are any pages that are flagged, then choose to act on the flag or ignore it.

Anyone agree? 0  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Yes. Like in wikipedia.
And the flag thingy would do the trick. Mods can't be on the site all the time and other members flagging inappropriate pages for mods to check later would speed up this process.
Why didn't I think of this before? Do you find this valuable?

Whenever one of my members says the word 'sucks' in a thread it gives us an 'attention' message... Does that mean 'sucks' is a very bad word on Wetpaint?? >.< Do you find this valuable?
