Midgard’s discussion forum component, net.nemein.discussion now has new moderation UI.

Regular users can mark posts as abuse (the message shown is a regular spam mail I found from my inbox):

Moderators will get an email (or whatever medium they have selected for receiving notifications, including a Nabaztag WiFi bunny) and can see all messages marked as abuse in the moderation view:

If they confirm the message as abuse or junk it will disappear from the site. If they confirm it as "not abuse" it will stay on site and the "report abuse" button will be removed from it. The full moderation history is kept with posts and displayed to moderators so they see if multiple people have marked something as abuse, for instance.
