Robert's revision comments:

>Ok, I've given it a test and here are some initial findings:
>In one's inbox (/account/activity/index.php) the icon for the 'Objectionable content on ...' report is missing in patch 2 - but is there in patch 1

You are right, I thought that file is from my early proof-of-concept
work and deleted it, will bring it back.

>I notice a form post can be marked as objectionable multiple times. I can see value in this if person A wants to mark it as objectionable and so does person B.
>But I feel if person A has marked it as objectionable then person A should not be allowed to mark it objectionable again (unless the objection is cleared).

Well, makes sense but only if it will be indicated that the post has
been reported.

>Also I don't think it's useful to show the 'report' link to the person
who posted the forum post as reporting one's own links seems a waste of
time.

I agree.

>With the "This post has been reported as containing objectionable
content ... " message that appears below the objected post I think it
should include an expandable section to show the objection message(s)
and submitter(s) to make for easy diagnosis.

OK, sounds reasonable.

>If a post is objectionable should the 'reply to' link be disabled
(greyed out) to stop the thread from progressing?

No, I do not think so. There is no need to block conversation and there
might be some replies already. Also, "reporting" feature might be abused
in a sense of using it as a tool for blocking conversations.

>The admins get to see the objectional message for a post but non admins do not see any visual clue that the post has been flagged as objectionable.
> The 'reply to' link should be disabled and message 'your|this post has been flagged as objectionable' added below post.

Admins (group and site) and moderators will also see the post
highlighted in red. It is a question whether we need to indicate that
post has been reported to all the others. I personally would not like to
see it highlighted in any way, on the other hand if we want to stop
reporting more than once, some way of highlighting might be required.
