So I was thinking about ways to improve the MyBB Software / Community and I thought of something you guys may be interested in. Trusted spam reporting, it'd take down spam faster than ever before. Read the info below and tell me what you think. This could be a MyBB.com thing or even a MyBB Software Feature/Plugin. Thoughts?
With zero plugins / code edits:- Add a group and grant access to purge spammer
With a plugin or code edits:- Add a feature which once a trusted member reports a new user their content is hidden but not deleted until a community moderator can review the report then it acts the same as purge spammer.
Thread moved from PI to MyBB Project & Site Issues.

Or something like when 2-3 users report some content it is removed.
I report quite a lot here and it's quite iritating to see some spam content and so before some staff come, but I gotta say, that never takes too long

Something like that except a single trusted member can cause the post to be unhidden. We could start with all users with at least say 1,000 or 5,000 posts have that privilege automatically. Thoughts?
I don't know, but some users who reported a few times and were right, may be trusted probably. I wouldn't use that based on posts count... Maybe that will help them a little but I don't know how much and if that's really needed
:/

Former Staff could probably have that privilege automatically. I think anyone else should have to apply by making a thread in Private Inquiries.

Not all former staff left the MyBB team on amicable terms. A blanket permission on that usergroup would not be the ideal answer. Having each person apply individually in PI sounds best.
