Not sure it really fits with this mod. I wrote this mod so that my users could let me know when people are breaking the forum rules. On my forums I am "Big Brother" and people are summarily locked when they break the rules. A democratic voting mechanism isn't really my style. If you'd like to mod the mod I'll include it as an option in a new release.
I just wanted to say thanks for keeping up with your MOD and its releases.
I like this MOD in particular because for those who "might" cause mischief they will have to think it through a few times before doing it since anyone seeing their post can complain about it.
Thanks for sticking around and being concerned about the future users of your MODs.
Is there anyway you can include who the forum Moderators (with links to send them Private Messages) are governing that particular forum, post, and complaint. Would you mind placing something like "This message will be sent to "X", "Y", and "Z" and placing that message somewhere on your window below:
It would be nice to know which Moderator to follow up with in case there is additional information or further troubles.
Also, I have the Private Messages MOD for Snitz v3.3.05 (which @tomic is now releasing for Snitz v3.4.xx) ... I want to use your MOD in conjuction with Private Messages. Would you be interested in collaborating with @tomic (if he is up for it, of course) to include your MOD so that it also works on Private Messages. This will help cut down on spammers and give forum users a better since of security.
The moderator email address is a configurable item in the flagmod scripts. It could easily be changed to a drop down list of moderators (either hard coded or retrieved from the database.)
Being the only moderator (the reason I wrote the mod in the first place) on my forums I don't really have any interest in implementing this. Sorry. I'd be glad to help, make suggestions, or review code if anyone does want to implement it. I would also gladly make improvements to the mod available on ozroot.com.
Same would go for any other modifications to the scripts. Again, sorry.

This could probably be attached to a helpdesk script. Instead of emailing a moderator, it would generate a trouble ticket in the helpdesk which would be assigned to a moderator for that particular type of trouble ticket.

Yes, exactly! I thought about this as well, but didn't want to ask to much of foo.
Foo, do you mind if alex042 (if he is interested, that is ) helps me with modifying your MOD to get these things working?
Thanks for the help and the explanation, foo. Thanks again also for the MOD!
The code is pretty stand-alone. The installation process mostly deals with how to get the icon into the right place. The other possible hangup is that this mod uses the snitz mail include file (I think it's inc_mail.asp) If the mail code changed significantly between 3.3 and 3.4 there could be problems there.
If anyone is running 3.4 and wants help trying to run the mod I'd be willing to help. Email me, or better yet, post to the ozroot.com forums.
I am trying to implement this in 3.4. Thanks for posting this code. Question, though, the additions around line 609 and 816. Where EXACTLY do I add this code? If you can site the exact preceding line that I need to paste this after, that would be great.
